Dress Goods.
4 grand collection of direct impor-
tation in llrent* Goods, ineluding all
the fabric* to be worn by the lead-
ers of fashion at home or abroad
during the coming spring and sum-
mer. An elaborate delineation of
the wonderful skill and art of the
lUJit famous European designers
and the alill more wonderful gen-
ius that looms such intricate
weaves. In fact we have all the
latent novelties in Dress Goods.
Our large establishment is
jam full of everything the
people need and our prices
are low and legitimate
In Our Men and Boys*
Clothing Department, words fail
us in attempting to convey to you
even a fajki t idea of the beauties of
this surpassingly grand display of
suits. After months of prepara-
tion, during which the world's
markets have been ransacked for
new, handdome and rich effects in
this line, we at last invite you to
come and behold a vision that will
excite your admiration and your
wonder—admiration of the rich
and tasty effects—wonder that such
elegance can be encompassed in
ready made clothing.

Laces & Embroideries
On all the most exclusive fashion
plates you see Laces and Kmbroid- (
cries used lavishly for costumes.
The daintiest and richest effects _ - , - - —----------- —
that have been created we feel that FT] | • • /MB J
e-esss-s There is no use gomg oflrto
eat designs for neck, sleeve and
dress trimmings, comprising the
richest, daintiest creations. In
Laces for trimming wash dresses
there are hundreds of effective and
strikingly novel things at very
jpodest prices.
I WaieU and Skirts are charmingly
pretty, and they are to play an
important part in dress this season,
are in exclusive designs, which
were made expressly to order and
which cannot be duplicated by us
or obtained elsewhere in Van Zandt
county, and they are among ths
new bright ideas which show un -
usual beauty.
Our Muslin
Underwear Department is up-to-
date in every respect, and we are
going to sell the underwear so cheap
that you will come back to our
store in ouest of more, and also
you’ll tell your friends and kin*
f jlks. All we ask, is that for you
to visit our store and we’ll do the
rest.

Speaking of Spring, we can show you more Spring here now than you’ll find in nature for days to come. If you are a naturalist, look upon the new hats and see if a single one
of your feathered favorites is missing. If you are a botanist, glance through the heaps, piles and beds of beautiful roses, dahlias, morning-glories, john-quills, violets and pansies
