A large and eye-catching advertising broadside for a Newport store, just as the town was beginning to reinvent itself as a fashionable summer resort. A wide variety of fabrics, bonnets, ribbons, and more are on offer: "We wish ladies who go out a shopping to bear in mind . . . we can afford to sell cheaper than others, whose expense are more than twice as much as we intend our ever shall be." Features an original woodcut of a small crowd gathered outside the store. None others traced.
