Silks for Paris Gowns
9043
9046-904/
NO wonder market reports inform us that Silks are becoming more and
more popular, scarcer and scarcer, higher and higher.
Everybody is wearing Silk. It's Silk, Silk, Silk—until the demand
has outstripped the supply. We foresaw this condition, and prepared
for it. Therefore our assortment is large, and our prices are consider-
ably lower than they would have been if we hadn't bought when we did.
SEE OUR MYRETTE SILK—SOMETHING NEW
McCall Patterns have kept step with the Silk Movement. Scores of
original and effective models that show various Silks to the best ad-
vantage.
Patterns Nos. 9043, 9046 and 9044 illustrated in the picture, are
happy hints.
What Keeps Up
Your Town?
..The catalog champions ask the ques-
tion, "What difference is it whether
Farmer Smith sends his money away
for merchandise or gives it to Merchant
Brown to send away for merchandise?"
My answer is that the difference to
this community is that it has lost the
cost of doing the business plus the net
profit of the catalog house. Did you get
that? What keeps up your town? It is
the expense and net profit of handling
business.
Now, what is this expense of doing
your business that is lost for the com-
munity if you buy from the catalog
house, and what does it amount to?
Home insurance agent gets the insur-
ance; the home bank gets the interest
on part of the money used in condnutc-
ing your business; the home drayman
and his helper haul the goods to the
store; the home bookkeeper keeps the
records; the home salespeople take care
of and sell you the goods; the home
newspaper advertising tells you about
the goods, and the proper time to buy,
instead of the catalog doing it.
This, with the rents and taxes paid
out at home, fuel, lights and the mer-
chant's net profit of 3 to 5 per cent,
makes up the cost of handling your
business, which runs in total from 20 to
40 per cent, according to the line of
merchandise handled in the location
of the store.
This all goes to the catalog hou«e and
its thousands of employes, if you send
for your supplies. The community, coun
ty and State suffer to that extent.
—FRED HANNA.

Altus Chautauqua
Aug. 7-11. 5 World
Famous Numbers,
Among Them Helene
Burgess and Quintet
--Helen Burgess and her company have
been most favorably known ot Ameri-
can, Canadian and Australian audiences
for several seasons. They will come to
our Chautauqua straight from an ex-
tensive tour of Australia, where they
made friends everywhere in the land of
the Kangaroo.
These young ladies present a varied
program of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic and costumed stunts and readings.
Their press notices promise an excep-
tional program delightful both to per-
sons who are musical and those who
are not.
Miss Burgess is a gifted reader. She
has appeared in every state in the Union
returning again and again to the prin-
cipal cities. She is a graduate and post-
graduate of Cumnock and has taught
dramatic art several years in leading
schools. Her own reportoire is suffici-
ent for six entire evenings. One critic
said of her: "Her readings are differ-
ent Her personality commands atten-
tion always. She is one of the most de-
lightful entertainers in professional
work."
At $6.95 to $12.50 just hundreds of Georgette
and Crepe de Chine Blouses in Fash-
ions new for Summer
Some are in these new colors—French Pink, Military Red, Silver
Gray, Sunset, Flesh, Copenhagen, Rose and Bisque.
With plenty in the always desirable white and flesh-pink. Around
neck blouse is embroidered so charmingly in silk and beads. A back
buttoning blouse has a frill collar and cluster tucking. A slip-over has
the neckline run with colored ribbon tying at one side. These are the al-
was-smart frill blouses with the Parisian-like touches, and still other
blouses elaborated with cream Valenciennes laces.
Too many others to talk about here. Come and make your own
choice.
