REPORTING FROM THE MISSES DEP'T:
Which I might as well tell you right now is just a refined handle for what is generally known as the kids' dep't. Gather round, size smalls, while we discuss. The bright idea is that we (size smalls) may not be able to give to the Blood Bank — But we're eligible for some hot bargains from said kids' dept.
STATISTICS:
Teen sizes 10 to 16 equal junior sizes 9 to 15 — but prices are geared to the pocketbooks of indulgent but sensible mamas. So—this is a nice habit to get.
How would you like a terrifically good looking gabardine raincoat for $8.98? Look at our boy-coat, flyfront jobs in Red, Blue, or Natural. Weathersealed by Impregnole, which is good rain-proofing in any language.
Neat up with a good looking white broadcloth dickie --whipstitching or fancy lace around the collars.
