It is time now to begin to prepare your wardrobe for the warm weather that is “just around

likely find your favorite resort crowded with strange faces, so, naturally -you will want to appear
at your best. To accomplish this you must be correctly and appropriately dressed.
Altoona merchants are ready with everything needed to make your summer wardrobe complete
even to the most minute detail. Stocks were never so large nor assortments so varied as at the
present time and styles are so chic and new it is a real pleasure to the merchant to show them.
The desire to be well dressed is a commendable one : the well dressed man ‘or woman Yreflects
a note of prosperity and well being that can be attained in almost no other way. So by all means be
well dressed.
But how about the home surroundngs ? You will want them in keeping with your clothes ; per-
haps it's a new rug, carpet, rocker, bedroom or diningroom suite that's needed, new porch furni-.
ture, shades, a victrola or piano that will add to your pleasure and comfort.
Go over the whole house carefully, make list of your needs and if your neighborhood store does
not have what yon want, spend a few hours shopping in Altoona stores and you will be surpised to
learn how cheaply and satisfactorily your wants can be supplied.
Altoona stores are good stores to shop in every day ; but by all means visit them every Thurs-
day, “Suburban Day’’—the day of many opportunities for economical shopping.
