NEW WIRTHMOR WAISTS $1.50 |
.
1
HERE are a new group of Wirthmor Waists that like J
all the Wirthmors that have preceded them are §3
true to their name WORTH MORE. ■
Many are the features that distinguish the Wirth- . 'j
mor from all others at the price. They have that /the- I ^
ness and daintiness of character that is usually incident I j
to higher price Blouses; they are made of quality fabrics Ij j
and so cut as to he true to size and to fit perfectly. n|
To realize just how splendid these values are we i#|
suggest that you hud out the price ot materials oi wmcn
they are made, figure the amount necessary for a waist :t|
and try to estimate the cost of making. You’ll then
wonder just as we do, how such waists can be made to fj
sell for a price so small. ||
The new Styles illustrated were just
received and but recently created. 4,
They are January Styles for January M
selling, made according to the Wirth
mor idea of always providing the new
while it is NEW. Every Waist is of ||
course unconditionally guaranteed.
Wlrthmor Waists can be sold In Just one
good store In every city and they cure sold
here only.
