The rain of soft, fresh water cleanses and purifies the air; it fills up the little streams, the creeks and, the river, that they may be ready for the boys and girls who love to skate. Perhaps the most cheerful place in town on a stormy Winter day is our big, bright, roomy, comfortable building encircled on all the four streets by trolley cars, with direct entrances from the underground trains and close to the Broad Street Station and the Reading Terminal, where passengers from out of town can take the subway and be under cover every minute to our Store doors. Theentire twelve floors of the Store are open to the public to furnish rest, refreshment, music and interesting occupation in walking about to see things, and to help you entertain your friends. There is no urgency to buy anything in our advertisement or in our hospitalities.
