The Old Habit of Noting Your
Own Transient Thoughts
as well as the opinions of others that float in and
out of the mind easily in casual conversations and
. readings is referred to here as a matter not only
of real interest, but often of great value.
"What we call 'Discovery,'" said a great
writer, "is the serious exercise and activity in
reaching out for truth." This we can do by
observation, listening attentively to conversa
tions, remembering what we read and hear, and
encouraging a feeling for that which is true and
good. .
To actually feel something in our hearts is
much more than to merely think of it.
So we shall find "the more excellent way" for
ourselves and be enabled to live our own lives
better and help others.
If this Store is a well-built steam engine and
keeps on its solid tracks, it will pull others along
to the same goal ahead of it.

THE NEWNESS, THE FRESH

QNE of the things which
people particularly like
about this Summer furniture

much in it that is new. It
may be the more improved

pieces or the novel colors and
patterns of the cretonnes in
which they are upholstered
or all of these things com
bined; but at any rate, the
newness and the freshness
are there.

The World Is Sick
of Duplicity
or at Least It Ought to Be
As far back as there are any records oi;
things there were people who tried to make the
false and the counterfeit pass for the true and
the genuine ; and it has never worked and it never1
can work for any length of time.
It shouldn't be allowed to work one hour, be
cause while it does work it means that somebody
is beingcheated.
It is an age of great things, but as yet we
don't believe anybody can make "men's $30 suits"
from a coarse cotton rag faced with the floor
sweepings of a wool mill.
Yet suits of that kind are being sold here in
Philadelphia as "bargains" for $15, $18 and there
abouts, which means 50 per cent more than they
can by any stretch of imagination be considered
worth to any man foolish enough to buy them.
Unfortunately this is not an imaginary con
dition, but a real one, the concrete evidence of
which we have seen with our own eyes and the
facts of which we have fully tested.
And it, is only one case of the kind.
We 'have seen "fine Spring and Summer suits
worth $30," the fabric in which was a piece of
cotton as coarse as an onion bag and with the
dyes looking as if they were applied with a shoe
brush. It is not our habit to raise a "hue and cry."
We have established our men's clothing busi
ness the standard of the country on a solid
bedrock of reliability ; and we have attained to a
position in which we have no need to raise a scare.
But there is such a thing as an ethical sense;
and there is such a thing as common honesty;
and there is such a thing as the duty a store with
an ethical sense, to say nothing of a sense of
common honesty, owes to the public, and that is,
to put them on their guard against methods and
practices that lower the mercantile profession.
This year, as in former years, we are ready
with new Spring suits and overcoats, all pure
wool and as fine as it is humanly possible to have
them at the prices.
Suits at $28 to $65.
Overcoats at $35 to $50.
