THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. The Growth of Quality 14 e-At== PERRY’S. Our march of progress has been steady. Every season—since our first—we have im- proved—in stock—store—and methods. In no departments has the advancement been more marked than in Ladies’ and Children’s Under- wear and Hosiery. Every store that carries these commodities does its level best, maybe. But better opportu- nities—perhaps more close attention to detail— something or other—has given us the upper hand. Your satisfaction has made us take a deeper pride in perfecting qualities—spurred us on toa greater effort to keep the prices down. Anyway, we feel that we can promise you the nearest ap- proach to perfection obtainable. Underwear. Worankind likes varlety—plenty to see— plenty to select from. No complaint on that score here, sursly. It 1s good to know, too, that they are all sound values, Satisfying to feel that nowhere—vnder no conditions—can better be found. What is fastionable we have got—what Is serviceable we have got— what 1s comfort: we have got. Just what you want—need—ought to bave, we have got. The getting 1s so easy, too, with our prices.

Much interest is being manifested in the ccming annual meeting of the Brookland Hall and Literary Association. The present toard has worked in perfect harmony, but it is likely that among the large number of shareholders there may be other aspirants for office, and the result of the election reay show several changes. The hall has been a source of much pride to the people of Brookland, as well as a great conveni- ence. The Episcopal congregation held service there until the new church was completed, and the Methodists still worship there, awaiting the erection of their church edi- fice, the corner-stone of which was laid Sunday. A lodge of Masons and one of Odd Fellows occupy the upper story, and the former order has become so flou hing that negotiations for holding meet- ings in the large hall have been cOmmenced. suenes GAITHERSBURG.
