There Are Few Human
Beings Who Do Not Have
an inextinguishable desire to rise higher in
knowledge and every other quality that will
promote advancement, happiness and use
fulness. Walking through a conservatory, it is
interesting to study the tendency of plants to
twist around a stick and climb by little tendrils
and leaves, hooking on to something and
winding themselves upward.
At almost every step we take, wp meet the
suggestion to catch on to whatever is near us
and grow up.
To have remained in the old sheds of the
railroad freight station would have been a
crime against Philadelphia.
We've just got to grow.

They are the finest ready-to-wear suits made
in America.
They are here because nothing less could satisfy us.
They are here for men whom nothing less can sat-'
isfy. The prices are $28 to $65. If any man can find a
better suit within this price-range than we can show him,
he will have made a remarkable discovery and we hope
he will let us know of it.
