In making our an- nouncement for the Fall Season, we desire to call your attention to the character and progress of our business. When we threw open our doors on the 2d of June, we were able to use butthe ground floor space to display and dispose of our goods. Since then we have trebled the size of our Salesrooms, and at our OPENING on THURSDAY Next we will be enabled to do more justice to the ex- tent and variety of the goods we shall offer you. The imposing and magnificent display of Fancy Goods will con- tinue, as heretofore, the central attraction on the first floor, but we have fitted up our whole third floor as an ad- dition to the unique dis- play of Novelties. We have devoted one thou- sand feet of space to this immense display alone. Another new Depart- ment, and one that will be very welcome to you, is our Show Room for Trimmed Millinery. We purpose in this line to distance all competition, and show the good peo- ple of Chicago that taste and elegance may be united with moderate ex- penditure. We have made great efforts in this direction, and shall inau- gurate this new Depart- ment at our Opening on Thursday> Our Hosiery. Stock is, without doubt, the most complete in Chicago, and the question, “How ccm they sell fine goods so cheap?” is still, and will continue to be, the key- note to that Department. We are determined to build up a large trade in Hosiery and Underwear, and good goods with low prices will (we believe) do the business. In Kid Gloves we have added new makes from the mostcelebrated man- ufacturers in Europe, and also the popular Foster Glove. We have spe- cial brands to serve our patrons, and are ready to fit all gloves to the hand. Particular atten- tion is directed to the ex- quisite shades and quali- ty of our MONOGRAM GLOVE, every pair of which we warrant not to rip or tear in trying on. In Laces and Hand- kerchiefs, Ladies’ and Misses’ Underwear, and in Ribbons: and Dress Trimmings, we have en- larged our stock materi- ally, and we will show you on THURSDAY a very handsome assort- ment. We wish to call the attention of GENTLE- MEN to our Furnishing Goods Department,-- tasteful in styles, attract- ive in assortment, and moderate in prices. Gen- tlemen, CALL IN on THURSDAY and you will be pleasantly sur- prised, and will doubt- less ask yourselves, as others. have done, “How do they manage to do it?” To one and all a cor- dial and hearty welcome is extended to the Open- ing on Thursday. Very respectfully yours, G. A. COUTANT & C8, 145 State-st. .
