OUR TEN! Notwithstanding that a portion o factor when it comes to an OPE ing Days give you an idea of whc have been, come again, for we a MILLINERY DEPARTMENT |J Notwithstanding the fact that t we had an enormous stock to open ; \ the season with, we have very few ;; of the Hats to show you that we || were showing during our OPEN- _ || ING days. Immediately we realiz ed, even with our tremendous Y a\v i - stock,- that the business had sur- " passed our anticipations. Miss ~rr' - ~ Rutledge says she has never seen ' anything like it. * Re-orders were necessary at once, and now the ad- )-U|y ditional goods are here, something .X new and different, even from what ** we were showing last week. In ]j addition to these, Miss Rutledge ^ jp ? and her assistant, Miss Ackerman, ===^Ft|z====^= I have made many new models to I ?hnu- von since the others have Ij been sold. It matters not what J j 1||| | you need if its millinery, we have I it,. We invite you to come see. I * If you did not get waited on as promptly as you would have liked, 1||||^ I during our Opening Days, we ask |l||j|^ you to overlook that' for even with I extra help it is impossible to give s each customer the personal and \ I prompt attention we usually strive I to give. j Come to Hooton's, bring your I friends. We will try to make you j feel at home, at the same time I save you timet trouble and money. I E. A. HO PERSONAL MENTION. I ?Mrs. H.
