Abundance of Everything
but Time
There Is No Strut of the
Peacock About This Store
It is simply an example of human co-operation.
By planting and replanting, and good gardening of
fourteen three-acre lots, one above the other, each
floor upon an average being little more than three
acres, and the galleries hanging gar.dens, we show
what tools and time and skill can do in the making of
this great
Conservatory of Merchandise
r 'All of a lifetime has been taken in making it
what we have, and yet we see so much more to do,
and have studied all the time to find the way to do
better things, that now it really seems today as if we
are only at' the starting point of improvement.
Surely we are well housed, and have much to
show of interest to the purchasing public; which is
invited to take advantage of the service we are
offering.

HAVE you noticed how a man who can possibly
afford it always gets a genuinely high-grade
automobile that costs him several thousand
dollars?
He doesn't do this simply to show how he can spend money.
He doesn't do it just for the added comfort.
He does it because he can get the worth of his money out
of a really fine machine better than out of any other.
Now This Is Just the Same With
Suction Cleaners Usually
Called Vacuum Cleaners
There are dozens of electric suction cleaners on the market
that are comparatively low in price that buzz 'splendidly and take
the surface dirt off the top of the carpet and bite a great deal
of the nap oft.
They last a few months, then go bad they always go bad.
There are a few genuinely high-grade suction cleanersthat
are constructed not with the idea of how cheap, but how good.
The greatest of all of these is the "Superb."
The "Superb" suction cleaner actually does get the dirt out
and it doesn't tear nor injure the carpet.
The secret of this suction cleaner is not in the buzzing jet
of air, but in the steady sustained movement of the powerful
volume of air that goes in the wide and generous orifice and
carries everything movable along with it.
The "Superb" is built like a high-grade motorcar.
It will not deteriorate in a few months, and if properly
cared for it will last for many years and will always give the
very best satisfaction.
The great "Superb" suction cleaner has an orifice of 14
inches. If cleans rapidly and completely. We have investigated
it thoroughly and have found it to be one of the best suction
cleaners on the market.

$8.50 Is a Low Price for These
Women's Dark Brown Shoes
They are fashionable high-lace shoes in a rich dark
brown kidskin, which is very effective.
One stylo has plain toe and high Louis heel.
Another has tipped toe and Cuban heel.
." ,L, Th third baa indicated wing tip and low military, heel.
There-is an old saying that "possession is nine
points of the law."
Whether it is or not we cannot say, but we can
say from actual experience that having the goods is
"nine points" of a furniture sale.
In this February Sale we have the goods, and
the goods are of the kind that people want, and the
savings on them are real.
That is pretty nearly the whole story. 'At least
it is the pith and substance of what this sale means.
The thing to keep in mind now is that it has only
seven days to run, although, so far as supplies of fur
niture are concerned, it might easily continue for
seventy.
The Sale has no limitations that we know of
except as regards time, but everything else needed is
still abundant.

You Can Save $15 or More on Nearly,
Every Ulster in Our Men's
Clothing Store
The reductions that have been made to accomplish a clearaway of our Winter
stocks extend all the way from $8 to $10 but in a great majority of cases they are
$15 or more.
The new low prices that include storm ulsters and town ulsters of the finest
and most fashionable description, are
$30, $35 and $45
at which figures there are only a few hundred remaining.
No man knows just how much he will need one of these ulsters this Winter,
but every man knows that he will need one next Winter, and we know, or at least
we think we know, from the most earnest opinions of manufacturers and wool mer
chants, that fine all-wool clothing is not going to be cheaper. It is possible these
manufacturers and wool merchants may be wrong; we hope so.
But, right or wrong, ulsters such as these cannot possibly be had at the
beginning of next Winter at the great reductions that these represent.
Also in our Men's Clothing Store we are selling a group of very fine fur-lined
coats reduced 25 per cent, so that their prices are now
$75 to $281.25.
