Buy for yourself---not-your neighbors. The greatest Muslin Underwear selling the city has ever witnessed begins here tomorrow. First glance at its prettiness tempts us to become senti- mental, but upon second thought we are so strongly reminded of the months of planning, scheming and gathering of it that we are ourselves struck with the seriousness of the ‘‘sale’’—and the rich resourceful buying now possible upon your part. As untruthful as it may sound, let us say that at these ‘‘opening’’ prices there is no profit in the “‘saie’”’ for us—all is yours. Lack of space and variety of lots necessitate brief descriptions. We do not boast as strongly of ‘‘low’’ prices as we do of fine muslin, expert sewiag, fullness of material, carefulness of finish and accuracy of size, &.
