There is no fabric that is so genteel, so dressy and so service-
able as black silk of good quality, nor is there any that calls for
more care in the buying. As there are very few who can distin-
guish the difference betWeen agood andan inferior black silk it will
doubtless be acceptable to give a few hints about what we have
to offer' In this line In the firatplacc never be beguiled into buy-
ing a cheap black silk, but on the other hand costliness is no
guarantee of real value, as it should be remembered that the re-
quisite qualities of good silk are strength. smoothness, lustre,
richness and lightmsas, no matter how thick the material. Now
we are agents for the celebrated llaskel Silk Co.’ a Silk, which
possesses all of those qualities besides being fully warranted.
In our assortment will be found the old reliable groe grain in
three qualities; also Armour, Moire and Burch from $1 to $1.50

or need a short length for trimming, we trust you will examine
our stock before purchasing elsewhere.
