fclBE GREAT AUG
UST
I A Lady and Her Two
I , Little Girls the Other
Day Went for
a
Ride
in' an automobile some twenty miles or
so by the Grand View, where seven
Western Pennsylvania Counties arc in
sight.
On the way, the two little happy
"girls, four and six years oI"d, sang their
little songs, among them "My Country,
Tis of Thee," and the lady and gentle
man asked and urged the eldest to sing
the "Star Spangled Banner," that she
often sang at home. After much persua
sion she finally said:
"Why, I couldn't sing it, for if I did,
the chauffeur sitting outside would have
to stand up and then the automobile
Mould stop."
Really, little children are cleverer
and wiser in their thinking than we give
them credit for.
If the old nations at war with
America and our boys at the front could
see on the streets and in our buildings
all over the United States and every day
in the year the people uncover their
heads and standH1i silence while the
"Star Spangled Banner" is played or
.sung, they would know that America
was never before so much alive with
patriotism or so thoroughly determined
to win out for the cause of freedom as
now.
It is in the very life" of this Store to
do something more than sell the goods
it provides so carefully and advertises
so fairly.

STOCK I TIE WORLD KQJOTELY
TO TUB PEOPLE WANT
We have been studying furniture and working with furniture and per
fecting furniture and furniture sales so long that it is no boast to say we are
not amateurs in the business.
It has been our purpose to make a furniture sale in which it would be
impossible for anybody wanting good furniture not to find it at a saving in
price.
We feel we have accomplished that purpose, and we are proving it in
the sale which we are now holding.
For everybody needing good furniture it brings the problem down to the
simplest form; it leaves no room for doubt or mystery it leaves nobody
the shadow of an excuse for being puzzled as to whether one is getting as
much for one's money as it is possible to get. This sale makes it wholly
unnecessary 'for anybody to get less.
This is the sale in which the least you can get is the most to be had any
where for the money.
In saying which we are not trying to coin a slogan or catch phrase, but
merely stating a fact of which we have proof tangible and not to be gain
said. .We have taken it for granted that the least you want for your money
is the most you can obtain for it in tli3 solid constructive quality that means
prolonged service and in the good looks and presentableness of which there
is all too little in every home. We have seen to it that in this sale you can
get the most in quality, in, service, in good looks and desirableness.
It is for you to see that you do not get less.
We have in this sale a stock of furniture which, in size and variety, is
four or five average stocks in one, and in character and uniform desirable
ness one stock in thousands.
It is four or five average stocks in one, but it is a carefully selected stock
all the way through. It is the largest stock in the world exclusively confined
to things people want.
Nothing else could make such a sale as this but a stock of such size and
character.
