Black Taffeta Silk Week Monday, March 1st to Saturday, March 6th Seems as if almost every other customer that enters our Silk Department, calls for Black Taffeta or Chiffon Taffeta Silk. . If this be the trend of your preference, you should indeed be on hand when our doors open Monday morning, for we expect to sell Black Taffetas for less money than they can be bought for elsewhere. By this we mean not only in Richmond, but Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis or even Chicago We are doing this, not because the market has broken on silks, (for it has not. ) Silks are holding firm in the Eastern markets. Stocks are depleted and goods are hard to get. We offer you this opportunity to buy staple black silks at reduced prices, simply because we own a very large stock at much below today's market prices.

Just think of ita good quality of Black Taffeta Silk, 36 inches wide at $1 .80 per yard. Ten other qualities wonderful values in Black Taffeta Silk at $2. 12m, $2.25, $2.47, $2.70, $2.92v, '$3.04, $3.15, $3.37, $3.60 and $4.95 per yard If you anticipate buying a black silk dress, coat, skirt or petticoat this season, don't miss this opportunity to save not pennies but dollars.
