Hit-re 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 wc have been sejjing Black Silks for a good many years, and we imagine that we can sell you a GOOD 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, I come to lis. and see if we cannot sell it to you at 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 85c.; Striped Silks at j/lc.. and one spcial bargain in a lot of Solid Color Silks .11 ioc hall's Nc. 2-3 South Second Street. ABOUT GOBLETS. High prices in Glassware arc things For the present we quote nice Diamond Cut Goblets at 20 cents per set.
