imi and Embroideries
There was a time when laces were so exclusive that only those
possessing great wealth could afford such luxuries. Now with the
great improvement in Lace making, they come within the reach of all
and at the same time uphold the dignity of their origin.
The talk of Stillwater ladies—the exquisite Embroideries and
Laces being rhown and sold at Jones' embroidery department.
Excellent values in narrow edges, from J 'i cents up.
A new line of all-over embroideries, for ginghams, 69c, 85c, 98c,
and $1.25 per yard.
