There may be a lot of sales, but there is only one December sale of SILKS ;h an the Wm. H. Block Co. holds. [t is conceived in the broadest bases of service. Tn the matter of reductions, it jroes beyond all reasonable expectations. But it is in the character and desirability that this event dominates, he silks are the choicest that markets afford—assortments are responsive to every demand of fashion and good taste. Varieties are practically

iinuttess.

Reductions are 30% to 50% on everything (SkJamnr’M »atia to tJh» mmp rTrrpttow ) reductions are based on early season quotations.)
