intimate and beautiful things of thou
sands of homes that are yet to be com
pleted or created. We like to think that

breadth of vision that has from the
very beginning enabled us to see in our
merchandise not merely the material
things of exchange and barter, but the
nuclei of myriad future homes. "The
better the day, the better tho deed"
runs the old adage, and 'twould be hard
indeed to find a better day than this, the
Birthday of the Father of Our Country,
to visit the Store that has shared in the
making of so many American homes.
