Fine, Full, Fresh Stocks of the Goods Most in Demand Right Now
Many a Soldier Boy Carries
in His Breast Pocket
a picture of his mother, and every day he looks at it
long and lovingly, taking fresh courage to meet
homesickness and hardships by the sight of her dear
face.
Wherefore, he is a more efficient and worthy
soldier, carrying his mother along with him.
He is more likely to remember how his mother
K.,, hated profanity, gambling and intemperance, and he
will think twice before falling away from his
mother's ways and wishes.
A man may fight under "Old Glory" and keep
his health and place in the ranks, but sink into a
hopeless life by living under the black flag of bad
habits contracted while conscience slept.
This is all equally true of a careless business
life. Storekeepers should not require deceits of any
kind to make sales.

That New Silk Broadcloth
at $1.65 a Yard
is so extraordinarily good and .so unusual at tiiis price that we
feel every woman in this city should know of its possibilities for
Spring and Summer wear.
It is really a Japanese white habutai but with a schappc
warp and silk weft to give it greater weight and durability.
Therefore, it is the silk above all otheis for men's shiits, women's
skirts, dicsses and waists.
The width is 3G inches and the finish soft and non-shiny. Like
the rest of the fine habutais this silk washes most satiifactoiily.

And Now Men's
Springtime Fancy
Turns to Thoughts of
New Clothes
The buying of a now Spring suit or overcoat is a
matter of common-sense and dollar-sense and fashion
sense, and nothing that any one may write or say can
make it anything else.
We have assembled a stock of men's Spring suits
and overcoats which we believe will satisfy the common
sense, the dollar-sense and the fashion-sense of men,
and especially of young men, as no other suits can.
We can say of them that it is impossible for any
man, but especially for any young man, not to like
them, except some man or young man who is not par
ticular as to quality or style or tailorwork or money
value. For men of this latter class there is no help
but experience.
But for men with the insight for what is finest,
in fashion, in workmanship, in fabrics and colors and
finish, this is the Store not because of what we say,
but because the Spring suits and overcoats that we have
to show.
The suits at $28 to $65 an,d the overcoats at $35 to
$50. Suits in the waist-seam models for young men
will be found here at their best. Prices $28 to $55.

Men's Linen Handkerchiefs
$5 and $9 a Dozen
Even the wholesale price today is way above these figures,

who like fine handkerchiefs.
The 55-a-dozcn kind arc sheer Irish linen with Yi. and inch
hems.
The $9-a-dozen kind are a fine, soft, Irish linen with a very
narrow hem, really a beautiful quality and a most unusual value.
Uoth shipments aic new, but not large ones.

Boys' Spring Suits That Carry
the Certainty of Fineness
We have been saying a good deal about the fine quality
of our boys' new Spring suits and we mean to say a good
deal more, because we surely have boys' suits of fine quality
to show for what we say.
We don't know that we have ever been more certain
of anything than we are of the reliability and fineness of
these suits. In fashioning and tailoring and finish and trim
mings in all the niceties of style and in all the points of
detail they show an effort to produce suits of a superior
class to any other suits sold for the same prices and the,
effort has been successful.
The variety now is very ample and interesting, taking
in a splendid choice of fabrics, colors and designs at prices
going from $20 to $30, in sizes for boys of 8 to 18 years.
