The prize Spring coat news is released for women who are seeking new, smart Spring coats tomorrow. In our opinion these handsome coats ¢annot be duplicated at $15.00—or anywhere near $15.00—style for style and quality for quality. They were intended to refail at much higher prices, and you would expect to pay $20.00, $22.50 or $25.00 for their equal. Because a prominent New York coat maker wanted to quickly wind up his stock on hand, we were able to arrange terms that provide women with high-grade Spring coats at far below the anticipatea cost. ? These are extraordinary coat values and we know that every woman who buys one at $15.00 will consider herself fortunate indeed. . : Newest straightline flare and silhouettes.
