Anything that children wear from baby up, at the rate of $1 in clothing for $1.60 in new subscriptions.
The clothing comes from Best & Company, 60 West 23d street, New York. You send for their catalogue, pick out what you want, and send your order to us with money and names of course.
The reason we send from Best & Company is that they keep the largest variety and serve an absent buyer as well as if he were there in the store.
Most of the big city dry-goods houses keep more or less of children’s clothing; but they generally slight it. The work is apt to be shabby, the materials flimsy, the styles too pronounced if not “carried over from last year.” Girls’ things are considered especially hard to get satisfactorily.
