W W ! > U-WSff .f ZU i Jr l.i VI.Ii Ml v ; ling -iriS-Eh ’"Ut I J 1 A Constant Stream of New Things Charming every one of them VXT’E started this fall with an even more extensive showing than ever before. ’ * As you glance over hundreds of styles, you will quickly see that there is a decided tendency toward closer fitting garments and coat-dress effects; also that the dominant feature in everything is the Moyen-Age effect — the newest, oddest, most attractive style introduced in years! Colors were never prettier — and there are enough fashionable shades for everyone to find a becoming one. There seems to be almost a passion for all tones of violet from the deepest purple to the softest and palest shades of lavender; raisin is good, catawba, taupe and slightly deeper tones of blue, brown and gray. These models are made expressly for us and are characteristic Bischof garments. This means more than usual care in tailoring and a positive genius in selecting fabrics, trimming, buttons, etc. This is so important this fall as strong contrasts are extremely fashionable. You couldn’t find more attractive garments than these Bischof models, ’ion couldn’t find greater values; better clothes can’t be had. Come in now and you can find many simple moderate priced styles that are charming. Niblick & Company
