The trunk that looks best may go to pieces under one onslaught of the railroad baggagevrnan. But with strength should go convenience of shape and arrangement and u some share of good looks. This store has just that. combination in trunks, in suit-cases, in bags. It has some at very low prices, some that are expensive (but not extravagant.) ms newness DRY GOODS co. 1 Bridgeport.
