Tho great success of the Royal Baking Powder Is duo to the extreme care exeruls cd by Us manufacturer' to make it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of tho high est leavening power. All the scientific knowledge, care and skill, attained by twciity years' practical experience are con trlbuted toward this end, and no pharma ccutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, picclslon and exact ness. Every article used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists aro employed to test tho strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in comb! nttlon with Its co-lngredlents is definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, an no person is employed In tho preparation of the materials used or the manufacture of the powder, who Is not an expert In his particular branch ot the business. As consequence, the Royal Baking Powder Is of the highest grade of excellence, alway pure, wholesome aud uniform In quality, Each box is exactly like every other, and will retain Its powers and produce tbe same ana ttie leavening euect in any oil mate at any time. The Government Chem lata after having analyzed all the principal brands In the market, In their reports placed the Royal Baklug Powder at tho head of the list for strength, purity, and wliolesnnieness, and thousauds of tests ull ovrr the country have further demonstrate id !io fan that Its qualities are, In every respect, uurlvaled. DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA, wanamakkr'r. rntLiDiLrnu, Monday. Doc IT, 1S83. Unquestionably the widened aisles, new staircases, central elevator, and general clearing away ot obstructions make it possible to serve at least ten thousand more people a day with even less crowding than heretofore. If we coulcl serve 40,000 a day last year we can now serve 50,000 and more, and do it comfortably too. We are always improving. 11 we yere to keep on printing about it, we could make perpe tual "alteration sales." You may expect improvements here constantly without our talking auout tnem. The store is more a store now than ever. Lighter, bright er, completer. Our ideal is being realized. The Basement has ample out lets and is more convenient. The first floor is so arranged that things can be more easilv found, and is regulated to pre vent overcrowding by a system which experience has tauerht us. The second floor, now so ac cessible and popular, presents an entirely new arrangement of stocks, 1 his part ol the store seems to be miles of bewilder ing pleasure. An ever-varying exhibition of silver and art art icles. In the middle of the sec ond floor the centre of attrac tion in the Pneumatic Tube Sys tem, Catherine the money from all parts of the store in plain view of everybody a good place to take strangers. 1 he third floor is where we jeep rurniture store. Iho whole of this two acres is given up to Furniture. And Every thing is side by side for com parison, and not on ditlerent oors as before, and as other folks have it. It would be hard not to fall in love with the store now und er its new conditions. There is certainly room for 10,000 more persons. See jf you dont think so when you look at the straightened aisles, the broadened, easy-going stair ways, the spaces given to cus tomers for elbow-room, or to wait for elevators, or to see things. I he store is a sight, that s a fact; working up to-day to its full capacity; "a great and inter esting occasion," as the news paper reporters would put it. I he life of a year of prepara tion blooms out in these few days. We have but little to say about it, as what we are doing day by day is what we are in business lor; keeping the best of the best goods and serv ing our customers in the best of the best ways. Ihere is no need of being ashamed of this kind of storekeeping. And people will surely find out in the course of time the value of services such as these even without so much newspaper ad vertising. The General Manager wishes attention called to the follow ing: Ihe store will be open cacli evening up to ana inccuain Christmas hve. Goods to (ro bv mail can be posted at the Bureau of Infor mation It will be a favor to us Jor customers to take their packages with them whenever they can. It is best to try to keep to the risrht when coiner through the aisles.
