New Millinery Goods (1872)
Mrs. OVIATT & STARTSMAN,
Take pleasure in announcing to their many friends and customers, in Cleveland and vicinity, that they have just received their Fall and Winter stock of Fashionable Millinery Goods, consisting of Bonnets, Hats, Dress Trimmings, Ribbons, Laces and in fact everything else kept in a Milliner’s establishment. Their line of goods cannot be surpassed for beauty and elegance– They would specially call the attention of the ladies to their stock of Ribbons– it being the largest and most varied ever brought to the Cleveland market. They manufacture, from human Hair, Chignons, Switches, Curls, &c. They feel confident that they can suit taste of the most fastidious, in fashion, style, price and texture of goods.
Bonnets and Hats remodeled and retrimmed, on the most reasonable terms. They solicit liberal patronage. Their establishment can be found on North Street, fronting the courthouse, where they will be happy to meet and wait upon those who may want anything in their line.
