.up two small lots of corsets. .
’ He couldn’t bother with handling them in the usual
way: let his salesmen take out samples. it wouldn’t be;
worth his while. '
Instead he showed them to us; told us the price we:
could buy them at;—'—and we bought both lots quick ! " .
We had judged them and knew they were good. When?
they got here and we comparedthern with this same mak~.

‘ They measured right up, in quality and style and iiu—r
