Now we can show you all the newest things this season, with everything on one floor---the cleanest, brightest and most up-to-date Butte store. We ask you to come Monday and enjoy a storeful of bargains, a magnificent collection of merchandise, accompanied by Prof. Bergstrom's full orchestra. # THE NEW CLOAK, SUIT AND FUR SECTION! [boxed:] NOTICE. We direct attention to the most varied, extensive and magnificent lines of merchandise ever presented in the West. Time, energy, taste and much study have brought this store to an exalted plane of public usefulness. With broad aisles, commodious display areas and bright, cheerful surroundings, it is not surprising that this is recognized as the merchandising center of our city. We want your patronage---but not unless we deserve it. If there are worthier goods to be found elsewhere; if prices asked by others are lower than ours, it is your privilege to profit by them; but facts prove that to not be the case. Our constant and vigorous growth of patronage is the strongest possible evidence of superior value giving. Probably the most complete and most up-to-date cloak and suit section in the Northwest. Different than most opening days---we will sell entirely new suits, new coats, new wraps, new costumes and handsome fur pieces at about half the usual opening prices. Our idea in doing this is to give to the people of Butte and vicinity an opportunity of getting high-class tailored suits and wraps at less prices than they can be imported for or bought in the larger cities East with no greater number to select from. ### The Great Silk Section's Souvenir [For the Opening Day] Fvie [sic] pieces of the best $1.50 black peau de soie that you ever saw or was ever offered you---a rich, heavy, soft silk for dresses, coats or skirts.
