ASSIST THIS NEEDY, SA,YS GOVERNOR
IN THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Not nlonn because it i3 a time-honored custom, but particularly
lor tho reason that a State, like nn individual, sh6uld never foriret
the supreme source of authority and the steady Ruldnnco of Almighty

Pennsylvania has abundant causes for gratitude to God. Save
for a visitation of suffering nnd of death to our children, which ha3
now happily passed, the pooplc of this great State havo been blessed
with Rood health nnd with abundant crops. Wo havo not wrought
upon our soil In vain Wo havo blended our resources nnd our toil
into many forms of utility and of enrichment of our people. Flood,
hit nnd storm have bcrn kept from our borders. Accidents in our
industries, still too frequent, have bun reduced, and snffering for the
first time humanely compensated Our people linvo passed Into a day
of rich humanitarian treatment. Our Government hai been steadily
devote d to the holy task of serving our people with gifts of hcnlth,
happlnesi nnd prosperity.
In the bounty vouchsafed ui let us not forget our needy citirens.
not even the stranger within our gates. Let them nnd those beyond
our borders, whoso hearts turn our way, receive from us a goodly
share of the good given us by our Heavenly Father. A people that
is not generous cannot worthily live In Pennsylvania. We must give
gladly and generously If wo are to prosper permanently and
patriotically It no unromembercd child of Pennsylvania sit In
sorrow on our Thanksgiving onntvorsnry. Let us follow the guid
ance of our hearts as Well m our heads on this day of gratitude
and of generosity.
Above nil else, take thought for Pennsylvania, our beloved Com
monwealth, nnd resolve to hold its welfare high in our purposes and
to do our part In making It, under God and His name, tire cleanest,
safest, sweetest plncc in which to lnbor, to livo, to serve. Reverently
nnd gladly let us on this day gather In our severnl plnccs of worship
and publicly express our gratitude thnt n protecting providence has
kept us in peace, blessed us with material anil spiritual gifts, granted
us unnumbered favors nnd blessings and given us nbundnnt reasons
for thankfulness nnd for offering sincere supplications that wc mny
continue to bo a henvcn-holpcd people
That this mny be done, nnd done with n propriety worthy of
our best traditions anil our groat destiny, I, Mnrtin Grove llrum
baugli, Governor of this Commonwealth, do set apart nnd designate
Thursday, November nn. Ill 10, n- Thankst-iviii'; Day.

Tuesday
Is Time Enough for the
Purchase of Your
Thanksgiving Furs
"A Penny Saved Is a Penny
Earned" is not the fair maxim today,
for what is bought tomorrow for a dol
lar will probably, in these proaperous
war times, cost a dollar and a half next
week.
So we suggest that you take your
"savings," and if you have furs in mind,
call tomorrow. The values, as we rep
resent them, are positively incompar
able. Our policy of early purchase and
summer manufacturing, when labor
was cheap, gives us the inside track to
many sales at smaller profits. Let us
prove it.
We Solicit Your Patronage on a
Comparative Basis.
