Peril, Followed by
"Fast Find Fast Bind"
r Every day some one says, "I can't remember,"
or "I have such a poor memory."
i The worst of it is, that it is too true.
The reason for it is that our reading habit
skims and scampers and strides through books, mag
azines and newspapers without any effort to "fast
find and fast bind."
The result is that we can scarcely remember for
24 hours anything wcr have read, and the human
mind is not much more than a human wastepaper
basket. i. .
If your memory is only good for an hour or so
and you wish to "fast find and fast bind' some of
the valuable things that are advertised but once on
this page, you must come while the fact is in your
mind We usually have a full day's supply on the
day of the advertisement, but not always afterward.

Finely to the New Home Sentiment
Good furniture to-day holds a new interest for everybody.

Surely the years through which we have just passed
have left in people's minds a new and deeper sentiment for
the old hearthstone. During these times that sentiment is
especially strong and buoyant. Life has never been so well
worth living now that the peril is passed and the new dawn
is upon us.
Wc are glad to say that people desiring to honor and
enhance their homes have a vast and unique source to draw
upon in our $200,000 furniture sale and that those who want
furniture for gifts will find it here in unparalleled choice at
extraordinary reductions from our regular prices.

WHEN You Put
a New Over
coat on the Boy
make sure it is a good one.
The wisdom of this lies in tho
fact that a good overcoat need
not cost more than a poor one,
nnd it won't cost more if you buy
it in this stoic.
Wc have boys' overcoats in two
size-ranges one division for bovs
of 3 to 10 years at $13.50 to $25,
the other in sizes 11 to 18 years
at $18 to $35.
They have all the merits that
it is possible for ready-made
overcoats at these prices to have,
and they have them in a gicater
measure than any boys' over
coats wc know of at the prices.
Tho things that make for merit
in them arc the good wool fabrics,
the clever modeling, careful tailor
work and surpassingly good tit
and finish of every garment.
It suiely pays to buy overcoats
of that kind, especially when they
cost no more than the not-so-good
kind. ,
