WHAT'S COMPARABLE ... to the exquisite thrill
" you experience . . . when you first wear a new
Spring Frock . . . or a new Spring Wrap? . . . And
the earlier you select it . . . the more of a thrill for
you! Somehow it seems to be a heartfelt defiance of
Old Winter, who insists on hanging around when you've
been "fed up" on his company for weeks.
There are thrills a-plenty for you at Harris-Hahlo's
. . . for Spring Wraps and Spring Frocks . . . have an
appeal that will tug mightily at your heartstrings . . .
and your pursestrings as well.
