Antique ad
From an advertisement found in the Boston Symphony Orchestra Programmes (1904 - 1905):
New Fourth Floor
Those who have taken time to inspect the new room pronounce it the most perfectly equipped room for the effective display of dainty White Wear and Infants' Wear and Corsets and Petticoats and Dressing-sacks and Kimonos and Bath Wraps and Tea Gowns that they have ever seen. And they are further pleased to say that our new arrivals of goods are in keeping with the new room.
