“Always something new at Stripling’s” was the conversation overheard from a small group of ladies, who spoke of the great enterprise and rapid growth of thip fastest growing store in Texas. Night and daW the new building for
our greater store goes on. The same untiring energy which has catered to women’s wants to bring the remotest markets of the world to her door for a moderate price seems to be behind the small army/of busy laborers and
teams. Even the animals seem imbued with the same enthusiasm as they strain under their loads while building this greatest store for the people and women of Fort Worth-—a store where honest representation is relied on to
1 sell goods in preference to exaggeration.

A Store Full of Style Hints—Interestingly New
A store full of the right kind of Silks, Dresses, Suits and Millinery that everyone praises; stunning Gowns, modish
Princess Street Frocks, New Neckwear, correct things for a fternoon and evening wear. The whole forms an interest-
' ing exhibit, worthy of the most exacting demands of Dame Fashion’s latest dictates.
At the beginning o{ a season it taxes a store’s ability to secure suits at a med-
ium price that show style that is up to expectations. It is an easy task to give
style and materials at the fancy prices, but to give it at these prices is another
task, and we are immensely proud of this lot of suits at medium prices.
These Suits are built along the mannish linees> coats of the proper lengths, jaunty and graceful fit-
ting, trimmed with buttons and properly cut collars; cloths of worsteds and fancy weaves. A few II Ig ft M
in the lot might be called $20.00 values, while others range frpm $15.00 fo $17.50. You can take 4^lj|

Something that stands
alone, one that has not a
duplicate. That is the
point that makes the Strip-
ling Hat the Solitaire of
becomingness in the milli-
nery world. A creation
that enhances your
looks is the gem every
woman. is looking for. It
has been found. Listen to
the plaudits of the .women
who not one season but
season after season have
conceded the becomingness
is here, that it is bona fide,
not an accident, for it is
repeatedly clamoring for
attention. What it has
done for others it will do
for you.

It is one of the greatest successes of this Stripling Store to be able to give
that smartness of style in our lower priced suits and garments as well as the
higher priced, and these will Win more laurels for there are satisfying styles
here in this lot which will appeal to the most fastidious dressers; and the
choice ranges through checks, stripes, plain, two-tones and diagonals; each
one preserves that slenderness of line that only garments of the higher class
usually have.
