People tell us that we had the largest selection in New York this Autumn. During the season we maintain sizes in each style, but never have a quantity, so that no particular mode might possibly become commonplace. Now that we have issued clearance orders, our spirit is not half-hearted, either. It is absolute —and does not eliminate a style simply because it is unusually pretty. Every garment must go, as it is our rule not to carry over any merchandise from one season to another. A few original Model Gowns and Suits are in this Clearance—as only a handful remain. How- ever, the woman who wants a costume that is typically Parisian will undoubtedly be pleased to select from our reproductions of models by Paquin, Callot, Francis, Poiret, Bechoff-David, Ber- nard and other Parisian creators of style, at prices that are simply amazing—as the first prices of the reproductions were but mere fractions of the cost of the original models. It seems obvious to mention that sizes are broken—but every size is included—for women from 34 to 44 in both Dresses and Suits; also up to 53 in some styles of Suits.
