THREE VERY GOOD REASONS FOR ORDERING FROM HAMILTON'S! WE GUARANTEE OUR STYLES TO BE LATER! We occupy an entire building on Fifth Avenue in the very style center of the world, where we sell the same garments illustrated in this catalog to the best dressed women in New York. In addition to our own original styles, we take the best of Fashion's newest models, always making sure of their practicability before adaptation. It takes from two to three months to prepare and print a large catalog, while to print our catalog, devoted to women's wear exclusively, it takes but three weeks—which enables us to wait at least six to eight weeks later for Fashion's newest creations.
