THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1897-14 PAGES. Special Sale of Muslin Underwear-- Special Sale of Wrappers-- PERRY’S. Tomorrow is the day for you to do some Muslin Under- wear and W rapper buying—if you want to do it extraordinar- ily cheap. In point of fact we shall offer you some strong values for a great deal less than the quality-price. Too large lots these are—and we deem it expedient to thin them out. To quicken the pace we have applied the spur of reduction—and that never fails when such desirable garments are at stake. You know what the standard of this store’s Muslin Un- derwear is. You know the standard of our Wrappers. Tifese offerings are of regular lines. No job lots about them. We couldn't possibly give you sounder values than are to be nad here tomorrow at the special prices. Every garment shall go to you with our assurance that it is all it ought to be. lf we were less watchful of our lines we might have post- poned this sale until some time later in the season—but we make it a rule to study your interests, as well as our own— the cut has got to come—let it come now—when the benefit will amount to something to you. Help yourselves—and generously—there is every reason why you should. : LOO EOLLLLAPCOR ROC ME MRA }-}°J LM} Specials in Muslin Underwear. x-ineh hem.
