“Mrs. Harmston would inform her patrons and friends that she has again opened her Dress Making and Trimming establishment, under the most favorable circumstances. Having inspected some of the finest work found in foreign cities while on her trip to England, and also while spending some days in New York City on her return, her patrons may be assured that the most elegant styles will be attained along with the best of workmanship. She has also a new lot of Trimmings, Buttons, etc., on hand whereby she can materially aid in making appropriate selections. Give her an early call.”
