Undisputed Merit.
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.

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.
Bear in mind; the people

ittle thought they can un-make
