Spring Opening. -four years ago tomor- row Miss Julin Bowen opened a mil- linery establishment in ew Britain, later known as Bowen & Co., and has in these vears gained the confidence of the people of New Britain by giv- ing the best that money could pur- chase, and now on this anniversary date comes the announcement that the Outlet Millinery Co., New ¥Eng- land’s largest distributers of millin- ery, has taken over the store. making extensive interior and exterior alter- ations. The Outlet Millinery Co., operating a chain of seven stores, and doing a large volume of wholesale business, gives them an unlimited purchasing power of buying direct from manu- facturers and importers and thereby saving the middleman’s profit which enables them to sell merchandise at much lower prices than any other millinery concern in the city. Trimmed hats, untrimmed hats, ready-to-wear hats and children’s hats can always be had in an unlim- ited number of styles and colors. The home milliner will find it to her advantage to make a practice of purchasing her materials and millin- ery supplies at the Outlet. The same salesforce with a few additions will continue to cater to the wants of the public. The glove department which has been the most popular in New Brit- ain will be continued.—advt.
