BIG VARIETY SWELL NOVELTIES
We have just received a big shipment of the newest and latest creations in Belts, Bags, Hair Orna=
ments, Combs, Neckwear, etc., and have them on display at our store. The “Peter Pan,” a lady’s
combination coin and bill roll, worn attached to the belt, is the most popular novelty of the season.
THE ELASTIC B€flD€D BELT
is going to be all the rage. We are showing a variety of them. We extend a special invitation to
all the LADIES in Carbon and surrounding country to visit our store and take a look at these new
things. We take much pride in keeping up with all the new things for our lady friends.
