FOURTEEN YEARS' PRACTICE. 



PARASOLS. 



The former headquarters of the Methodist Book 

 Concern, corner of Eleventh Street and Broadway, 

 has passed through quite an extensive transformation 

 since the property passed into the hands of Messrs. 

 James McCreery & Co. "Where good men and women 

 formerly discussed Missions, the echoing walls now 

 resound to questions of Dress, and the space pre- 

 viously occupied by the business oSlces is now a 

 charmingly arranged room for the sale of Ladies' 

 and Misses' and Children's Underwear. That won- 

 derful basement has grown under the change into a 

 most popular resort for the housekeeper in search of 

 bargains that are such. 



Amid the multifarious attractions that we meet in 

 a ramble over the newly arranged edifice, there is 

 nothing more especially noticeable than the wonder- 

 ful exhibition of parasols The assortment of col- 

 oring is quite bewildering, and the variety of shapes 

 so varied and yet so pleasing that it is absolutely 

 certain that the possibility of meeting the demand 

 of all tastes and fancies is here realized. ladies 

 resident within easy distance of this store should 

 not fail to pay it a visit, and those who cannot get 

 there can have their wants most carefully and sat- 

 isfactorily supplied by mail or express by writing to 

 James McCreery & Co., corner Broadway and 

 Eleventh Street, New York. — Coi\i.
