Classified style notice offering table linen napkins and towels with assorted widths and prices.

An old classified ad details women and child footwear and clothing items priced from 1.00 to 3.20 dollars, with various styles including low-cut paremedia and cloth tops, plus mention of Oxford shoes and Indies. It notes limited stock and new season styles from multiple brands.
Fragmentary OCR text references a product line and pricing with unclear items. Mentions Vue black and white and Black from 7H at $2.00. Context suggests an old catalog or ad with scattered phrases and pricing.
