The store highlights heavy preparations for spring with large purchases from top manufacturers. Wide ranges include Plaids, Cord Dress Goods, Mohairs, Black Cashmere, Gingham, and Zeyper fabrics. Many items offered below usual prices, plus discounted shirt waists, wrappers, capes, hosiery, gloves, and men’s neckwear for spring.
The Bristol Phoenix describes the Capitol and Library of Congress as grand spaces with Brumidi frescoes, Lincoln portraits, statuary halls, and detailed views of the Senate and House layouts. It notes murals like Wentward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way and Perry’s Victory, and mentions the Supreme Courtroom, statues, and gallery scenes. A humorous Providence anecdote follows about a Drownville youth and a coal hole incident, plus brief town notices and a note on raffle ticket printing at the Phoenix office.
