Jewelers' Club Cuts Out Dinner The Philadelphia Jewelers' Club has decided, as a measure of food conserva tion, to forgo Its annual dinner this year. Here is the greatest player-piano value in all the world. And the most popular player-piano in Philadelphia. Quality and merit alone have built up this reputa tion. Quality in design, woi'kmanship, finish, action and tone. As a piano, the Stroud contains every quality desired by the most critical musician. As a player-piano, the Stroud contains the famous Aeolian-Pianola patents, every one exclusive to the ' genuine Pianola-Pianos, of which there" aie but five, all on sale at Heppe's. . Two of the Pianola patents alone are worth the price of the Stroud. They are the Metroslyle and .the Themodist. The Metroslyle gives you the expression of the artist. The Themodist gives you the melody of the composer. They are both in the Stroud. And although the Stroud has many superior features, it may be purchased for a very nominal amount. price $600 Settlement may be made in easli, by charge account or through our Rental-Payment Plan on terms as low as $3 weekly, whereby all rent may be applied to' purchase. Your present piano will be taken in exchange at a fair value. Liberty Boncis and coupons are also accepted at full value. There is no war tax. Call, phone or write for full par ticulars.

They Make the Workers Dollar Count for More Ne5lin Soles cost no more than ordinary leather soles and they last from two to six times as long. So every dollar you spend for Neolin Soles counts from two to six times as much as a dollar spent for ordinary leather soles. When you buy new shoes be sure they are Neolin-soled, not only because you will get more wear for your money but also because you will get better wear. , Neolin Soles are more comfortable than leather because they are more flexible. New shoes Neolin-soled do not require any of the painful breaking in that new shoes with the usual stiff leather soles require. And Neolin Soles do not stretch or slip) and they are waterproof. They protect your feet from get ting damp and chilly as they do with leather soles whose spongy and porous nature makes them soak up literally breathe in the dampness from snow under foot, from muddy crossings, and even from the thin film of water found on pavements after showers and thaws. i If your old shoes are showing Leather soles are stiff ' NeSlin Soles are coiiv fortable. , Leather soles slip Neolin boles grip, yet they can not scratch fine floors and furniture.

The shoes were worn' by a ship riing clerk, and after 95 days the eather sole wore completely through, as shown. Measurements of the Neolin Sole showed inconlestably that in the same service it would wear three times again aa long as the outworn leather sole. This is one of thousands of tests showing conclusively that NeSlin saves money for its users because it costs no more than leather and wears better and longer. 'A sole not branded Neolin is not a Neolin Sole signs of. wear, have them re-soled now with Neolin. And when you buy new shoes do what eight mil lion other Americans have done before you get shoes soled with Neolin.
