All day long, from sun-up to sundown, two of our main aisles were full of shirts and people—and you could hardly see the shirts for the people!

The colorings and designs were so beautiful and the values so remarkable that an over-exercise of choice would have been like trying to discriminate between two gold pieces of equal denomination. | That was yesterday. But the values are still here, and For, so far, the only appreciable depletion has been in the actual number of shirts and in nothing else. You must remember that this sale contains just as many shirts as were originally intended to be distributed over this entire Spring season. days, you may avail yourself of this phenomenal opportunity to buy custom-made shirts for one dollar‘eighty-five.
