Tomorrow Saturday
List day of the
Hardman Autotone Club
It was a positive privilege to be able to offer to music
loving Philadelphia a city that has a warm place in its
heart for The Hardman Piano this, "the world's perfect
player-piano," at big concessions in price.
Wc were enabled to make' this offer by taking the
factory's entire stock of two beautiful case styles
Hardman Autotone, Style A, $665
An actual saving of $157.50. Terms of payment at the
rate of $3.50 weekly no interest being charged.
Hardman Autotone, Style B, $775
An actual saving of $210. Payments without interest
at the rate of $4 weekly.
We call this co-operative piano business our buying
a large number with savings incident to such deals,' and
sharing our own profit because wc can afford to, in the
interest of very big selling wc call these large plans
"Gimbel Clubs" and the club feature also includes life
insurance to cover the .debt. So, no head of a family need
hesitate to secure a really elegant instrument, for, "things
going along, the payments amount to mere bagatelle. If the
bread-winner is called away, his loved .ones have no debt to
worry them. It is canceled and not a penny to pay. The
instrument is theirs. ,
This club ends Saturday.

Just One Example of Tomorrow's
Waist Sale
First floor, The Thoroughfare, and Salons of Dress, Third floor.
Prices are being driven outrageously high even though there is less
surplus in manufactured lines and in materials. Why should the public be con
tinually exploited? It is right that prices should be some higher here and
there considerably higher, but when one sees how costs are being figured
the question arises
Why seek a life-time of profit on a few sales?
But "talk" doesn't get you anywhere. So, let us back our statements by a real
proposition
Men's Spring Suits, $15
And Spring Overcoats, $15
Fine lines ample choice full range of sizes; yes, quite ample lots of large sizes.
And every garment is all wool'and the scams arc sewed with silk. The colors are

This group of Overcoats and Suits at $15 is prepared with all the care and thor
