FORTY-EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY
THE Strawbridge & Clothier partnership was formed in 1868, but Justus C. Strawbridge had been in business on
this corner of Market and Eighth Streets since 1862. So, you see, this great ANNIVERSARY SALE NOW
IN PROGRESS is the celebration of MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY OF BUSINESS GROWTH, the
result of strictly adhering to the principles of fair dealing adopted by the founders at the beginning of their career.
It is the desire of the sons of the founders, now sole owners of the business, to give expression to their
APPRECIATION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT throughout all the years, and surely the most practical and unmistakable
way to do this is by giving
