DRESSES AND , BONNETS AND RIBBONS LORD & TAYLOR, Broadway & 20th St., NEW YORK. lEx ICthrtB SEYMOUR DURST When you leave, please leave this book Because it has been said "Ever'thing comes t' him who waits Except a loaned book." J^EADY-MADE dresses are now a success— the troubles that have arisen in the past have all been overcome and anyone of ordinary figure can now be fitted perfectly. These illustrations are a few of many styles that we have pleasure in showing. If one can be fitted in this way the saving in cost, between buying material and paying for making is such that no one can afford to spend time or bother themselves with the work — beside paying more in the end. LORD & TAYLOR, Broadway & 20th Street. 2^0 The prices given for making these styles in other fabrics are conditioned on the goods being bought at our store — we do not make up goods purchased elsewhere and sent to us. These dresses are completely fin- ished, having whale-bones, belt tape, reeds and bustle in skirt. MEASUREMENTS. Measure over the dress, rather closely. Inches- 1.
