Summer is rushing headlong into Autumn and humans, like nature, must give thought to new raiment. The forerunners of Fall modes indicate that fashion is moving in a new orbit of subdued tones, less colorful shades and lines of utter simplicity. Black predominatesNavy and Brown second in favor, and really the styles are more fascinating than ever. Never have we shown so many beautiful coats, suits and dresses, and, quite naturally, here in Richmond, one's mind turns to the store that is always first to show the new apparel. "Knollenberg's" and "Distinct Styles" are one and inseparable in the minds of those who know or deign to follow fashion on her bewitching way.

All this is conceded. "But Say!" there's another important side to this question. It's the question of price. We know you are expecting your dollars to bring you prettier and better coats, suits and dresses this season than they did last aren't you? And you have a right to expect it. Costs of production are down. So are the costs of materials. But you're not expecting garments quite so fine as those we have prepared for you that we know. For these garments are above the average in quality and beauty and below the average in cost. Not by accident but by Knollenberg's pricing. Watch our windows for the style, then if you will come in and examine the quality you will soon be numbered among our many customers.
