prices.

KELLY’S THE STORE THAT HAS THE NEW THINGS FIRST KELLY’S
A WORD TO THE WISE IS “KELLY’S”
THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN CONCLUSIVELY, when it comes to Ladies’ Ready-to-Wear Garments, and never with more telling effect than
right now. Fashion has decreed that the Fall Coat Suit must be 45 to 46 inches length Coat, the Skirt is to be pleated or straight line,
some with hip yoke, no tunic. We have them now in stock and incidentally, this is our second lot this season, the first lot being dispos
ed of in a jiffy. And yet you see displayed in every show window “with large cards announcing New Fall Suits,” Coats that only meas
ure 36 and 38 in., and why? Over zealous buyers without the proper knowledge of correct styles trying to keep up with Kelly’s. That’s
why we wouldn’t offer descriptions of our models in previous advertisements. We meant to prove conclusively that this is THE STORE
THAT HAS THE NEW THINGS FIRST.
