—'— Our Millinery is the sensible kind, inade for people who appreciate true merit and real value. It may be difficult for many to understand how we sell such millinery at the prices prevailing at this store. Because our prices are one-half that of up-town stores, it doesn't necessarily follow that the quality is iuferior; and .vet it should not puzzle any one who considers the faet that we operate our store on a much more economical basis than those located in the expensive center of the city. It is hardly necessary, we'think, to say that our styles are correct. Our productions, in this liue, are too well known and our clientele are too discriminating in their taste to require this. In our show rooms are Parisian patterns along with others of our own production, ranging in prices from $50.00 down. . ' We invite you to make comparisons. SMITH & HIGGINS, 234 Peters Street.
