mand for Xew Fall Creations exceeds the supply and
when the very highest prices are being paid for them
we consummate purchases that enable us to offer
j i v. u i iu v i i iioiviiiv i .i u kniv.o uhui " vmi i f v

navy sand and beetroot. Many are artistically
rrinnned with ornaments wings and fancies. Hats
that if bought in a regular way would have to sell at
$15.00. Sale price each at $4.95.
The skeptical ones may ask Why don't "The
Popular" sell these hats at regular prices and make
more money? Our answer is We always give our
customers the benefits of an underpriced purchase.
