STPAWBHIDfiEsCLIITHIE^ "-Ei§hfh®MarHE^Sts'fh'la™ SILK TALK. I here has been so much talk in the newspapers lately in regard to Black Silk that we think it time we put in a word for ourselves. Now -vve have been selling Black Silks for a 1 1 good many years, and we imagine that we can tj sell \pu a'tlOOD SILK about as cheap as any house in Philadelphia. There are many showy makes of Black Silk in the market that look cheap but are hardly worth making up. But if you want a GOOD SILK, a SILK THAT IS GUARANTEED TO WEAR, come to us, and see if we cannot sell it to you at j the lowest price. At any rate it will cost you nothing to examine our stock, in which you will find Black Silks, guaranteed to wear, as low as 850.: Striped Silks at j ,'7'c.. and one spe -ial bargain in a lot of Solid Color Silks at sot.
