Stewart & Co., "Radkiittencotic ld JOHN WANAMAKER i ia Just Two Weeks Ago Tomorrow We Sold in One Day Almost a Thousand Fine Silk Foulard Frocks| Tomorrow We Expect that for Once History Will Repeat This Is the Story: : After the phenomenally successful sale of a week ago Saturday, we sent for the maker (one of our regular sources of supply) who had supplied the dresses and asked if he had any more of the same kind. “No,” he said, ‘‘no more dresses. But I have safe after safe full of fine foulards that I stand to lose money on if they are not used up quickly.” That was our cue. In less time than it takes to tell it we had agreed to take all these silks off his hands in the form of pretty frocks made after our own designs, to Sell at $5.75 The styles are charming. With a free hand to do as we pleased, why should they be otherwise? In designing them, we drew from the best—a collar plainly Paquinesque—a belt or a bow that tells of Callot~a piquant juvenile touch here such as Lanvin delights in. What a pleasure it was to plan these little dresses, knowing that every one of them was to surprise and delight some woman when it made its debut with the modest price-ticket that the deal made possible! And—let us whisper this—anticipating Paris’ sure decree, the skirts area trifle wider than they have been. The dresses are here now—immaculately fresh from the dressmakers’ tables. All-silk foulards, most of them—in black and white stripes, in a dozen blue and white combinations—in black, in rose color, and charming browns, etc. These Dresses Are Such As Earlier Sold at $12.75 to $18.75 fl and this is putting a conservative valuation upon them. There will be all sizes from 34 to 44, and we assorted the sizes ourselves. No |} danger of disappointment for those who come reasonably early. For better service, we have divided the dresses: Some of each style, in every size, will be in the Basement Store, on the Main Aisle, Main Floor ; and in the Costume Salons on the Second Floor of the Stewart Building | All the Women’s Tailored Suits In the Basement Store Grouped At One Low Price---$10.75 Serge, satin, rajah, Sicilian, mixtures—everything that one would expect to find in a well-conducted store at this stage of the season. Some of them you may have seen at other much higher prices. Others came very recently and were bought when manufacturers were more than willing to waive all profits. The picking—at $10.75—is wonderful. About 550 suits in all.
