Hand Painted Silk Hosiery
Executed to Your Order
Today and Tomorrow at Joshes'
We have engaged the services of an artist whois the
originator of "Hosiery Beautiful." He executes ex-
quisitely colored, hand-painted designs on silk hosiery,
that will not only launder well, but urow more brilliant
with repeated laundering.
Fashion's newest thought, heretofore impossible to
our patronage except in mediocre form, but today and
Wednesday you are extended the opportunity to have
your hosiery decorated with designs that must appeal
to your individual fancy, such as Birds, Flowers and con-
ventional effects in rich and harmonious colorings,
painted on practically any color, also black and white.
The artist—the master or creator of the art and
finder of the secret process that makes fabric painting
a success—is working in one of our display windows
Tuesday and Wednesday.
So that you may view the work; and if appealing,
may select your hose and order the design painted
thereon. The cost is moderate, exceptionally so, should
you purchase the hosiery here.
Not only docs this art apply to hosiery—silk under-
wear and evening slippers can be painted in like manner
to match the design on the hose.
