The Good Breeding of
Ourselves Is the Best
Protection From Bad, Manners
It is not our duty to reprove ill-bred people. Not noticing
gruffness and disagreeable manners of thoughtless or un
educated people has been found to be the most mannerly and
useful thing to do in such cases.
Each of us can be an athlete by preparation and
practice in the fibers of the mind as well as the muscles of
the body.
We can be a roofless sample of a man or we can, by silent
study of others and by much patience, make ourselves, with-
Mout deception or trickery, pleasing to every one with whom
we come in contact so that he cannot but have a kindly
memory of us.
The human system needs a good deal of daily oiling-up
to be in perfect, order for "the day's run." ,
Realize that this Store is intended to be the head
quarters of civility as well as of properly priced merchan
dise of largest assortment.

The Story of New Fall Dresses for
Young Women Told in Blue Serge
It's a pleasing story as the dresses will prove!
As every girl will tell you, nothing quite takes the place of a blue
erge frock in her wardrobe, so that at least one blue serge dress is an
essential.
The new dresses are of firm, all-wool serge and novel as can be,
from their youthful round necks to their fringe-edged tunics. Some
are braided ; quite a few are embroidered ; some have white and others
colored silk collars; a few have the new jacket effect; others are high,
and still others long waisted; every last one is interesting for some
reason or other.
Prices begin at $30, go on up to $72.50, and the sizes are from 14
to 20 years, inclusive.

LOOK AT THE "TOMATO-COLORED" window on

for the autumn hats. The strange tall plants, with

wrappings.
Ope is of a soft, lustrous silk like a messaline, with a pi
gold stripe that suggests Koman stripes, it is quite pretty,
made, has a collar that can be worn high or low, and the rig

Six Hours and a Half Tomorrow to Get
Your Full Share of All Its Advantages
The shorter the time the more explicit should be
our statements.
The great August Furniture Sale is now a mat
ter of hours.
Tomorrow evening it comes to a close.
To prevent disappointment we want everybody
to know that this is the last opportunity anybody
will have in a long time of choosing from our entire
furniture stock at a reduced price. ,
It is the last opportunity that any one will have
of choosing from hundreds of odd pieces of our own
good furniture at half price, otherwise at less, than
the cost of making.
Once this sale ends, every piece of furniture in it
will go to a price 10 to 100 per cent higher than the
price now marked on it.
Please Do Not Forget Tomorrow
Is the Last Day
and there is no telling when there will be such another
day in furniture.
Certainly there was never so much good furni
ture at reduced prices on the last business day of
August in any one store as there is here today and
this despite a record period of selling.
We have been telling you all along that we pro
vided for this sale in an unprecedented way; that we
secured more furniture for it than any retail store
ever had in its possession, and that it could not help
being a great sale a sale of abundance up to the
very last.
If you are here tomorrow and anybody with a
care for the home and for saving money on the things
that make a home will try .to be here you will see
that for all practical needs this is as great and as help
ful a sale as it was in 'the day it began.
v.
In some respects it is a better sale, because now
there are so many hundreds of things marked for a
final clearaway at less than any good factory in the
country could make them for.
So far as opportunity is concerned, it is prob
ably true to say that tomorrow will be the greatest
day of the entire sale.
It will bring out opportunities that will not again
present themselves perhaps in years.
Have you all the furniture you will need for years
to come?
If so, well and good.
If not, you should on no account fail to be here
tomorrow, the last day of the greatest furniture sale.
the world over.
