Then 1 copied tlio Ictler over, addressed the

sealed the envelope and stamped It. As I
was debating whether to call Katie to post
tho letter ot to go mj self Mie appeared at

"Wlij. Katie, aren't you afraid of tho

knew that situ had Invented tlio man so that
I would allow her to sleep in tlio apartment
Instead of going to the miserable tenement
on tho Kant Wide, where htr cousins lived,
but felie was so transparent. 1 really could
not resist unking the question solely to seo
how she would answer It
"I tlnk ho no dete now," Katie declared
unblusiiiiiglv. "He no see me last night;
ho tlnk I inuvo away; he no romcrjiiiilglit "
"Veiy well, Katie, if you nre not afraid
you may go I'lcnse post this letter on the

"All light" Katie put It carefully Into

"Me? I nevairo forget netting," declared
Katlo proudly, if ungrammatically, an sho
stnt led fur tho door.
The lib phone rang before she had opened
thu door. "Walt until I answer this, Katlo,"
I said as I took down tho receiver.
Lillian Gale's volco sounded In my ears
"I don't nupposa ,-ou over want to hear

"Vim ought to know better than that," I
annul ed htr, and hated myself for the evasion.
"I ntn so Rind," sho sold. "You certainly

fully sweet of j-ou not to cultivate one. Hut
1 called you up to see If -ou would forglvo
us snd come to piny with us tomorrow

out to a little snack somewhere, and set

I did somo rapid thinking ns I listened
to her words nnd enmo to a sudden deci
sion. I knew I would havo to spend nn
evening with these peoplo soon. I iceolvcd
lo havo the n otlng In my own home
where, lo a c.. 'aln extent, I could control
the situation.
"I have a better plan thnn thnt." I said
and 1 put ps much enthusiasm In mv volco

The Past and the Present
and a Very Suggestive Future
When we came into Philadelphia to do business people thought we
were plumb crazy. Criticism, not cheers, greeted us for we had nothing
to offer but GROCERIES. We were old-fashioned folks, believing in
the old-fashioned idea of putting every penny we could into QUALITY
and getting as little for it as we possibly could afford.
In those days Goliath, the giant, was stalking about preaching the
fool doctrine of "Somediing for Nothing," and distributing stamps and
coupons "as a discount for your cash payments at Our Stores" and he had
so many followers and believers that he reached deep into the family purse.
But the combined strength of "QUALITY, QUANTITY AND
PRICE" had not been counted on.
"Next to excellence is the appreciation of it"; and we came here
believing that Philadelphians would appreciate THE CHILDS RULE
OF RIGHT right goods, right prices and right methods. We
didn't expect a whole lot at the very start; but we were not anticipating
the volume of business that came to us in an appreciable short time. In
telligent comparison soon made sales faster than the most sanguine expec
tation could have predicted; and to-day THE CHILDS STORES are
wanted in every neighborhood, and they will soon arrive. Indeed, it is
a frequent question, in renting house or apartment: "Is there a Childs
Store nearby?"
To-day, we're just the same old-fashioned folks we've always been;
and the power of an enormous business enables us, even in the face of
inflated values, to more firmly uphold our invincible standard of
"QUALITY, QUANTITY AND PRICE," for establishing a new
economic system in Philadelphia homes. Large, permanent successes
are based on FAIRNESS. Think it over, what businesses have gr.own
big, kept big and continued to grow? There 's always one by which the
rest are measured. That old combination of "QUALITY, QUAN
TITY AND PRICE" is a wonderful thing upon which to build a business.
It's such a forceful argument against the commonplace.
