                            _Introductory._


In presenting our Brochure on fall and winter gloves, it occurred to us
that a few facts bearing upon the historical phase of the subject would
not be amiss, and, though necessarily brief, we trust may prove
interesting to our readers.

Our display of gloves for the present season shows the same
characteristic excellence which has always been our aim, and a range of
style and variety calculated to meet the requirements of the most
exacting buyer.

We feel that in point of prices there is no need to make mention, since
a liberal patronage is the truest indication of our policy in this
regard, and we can promise in the future the same “sterling worth” we
have given in the past.

Attention is also called to our corset department, in the belief, that
for the lady who has not yet worn the Fascia Corset there awaits a real
revelation, the extent of which she can appreciate, only when once
encircled by the graceful curves of this, The Queen of all corsets.
