Every Day Some New Fashions and New Opportunities to Save Money
s
The Barnacles That
Automatically Attach
Themselves
to the hull of the little boat sailing a few weeks in
the shallow waters of Florida lessen its speed one
knot of each sailing hour. Instead of being nine
miles an hour its speed is less than eight miles an
hour.
The barnacles are water plants or weeds that
contain a sticky substance. Of course, they can
easily be removed after reaching port, where
facilities exist.
But there are many barnacles that fasten
themselves upon human beings. They attach
themselves to our habits, 'speech and conduct,
and are not so easy to get rid of. They retard our
progress and pleasure in life: for example, unpunc
tuality, waste of time, forgetfulness of promises,
bad manners and exaggeration of facts.
Little things they are, but they get their work
in all the same, and we wonder why we are not more
sensible of the harm they do.
The barnacles of listlessncss, lagging, forget
fulness, hasty words, carelessness in storekeeping,
are little weeds that slack up our sailing.

For a Young
to Know
Man
This year, as in other years, there are plenty
of youths' and students' suits that are fine and,
true and dependable; and this year, as in other
years, there are plenty of youths' and students'
suits which do not come up to that description.
The fashion in youths' suits usually has one
determining or distinguishing characteristic.
This year it is the waist seam when skill
fully and intelligently interpreted this is a clever
and interesting idea; but, like many another idea,
it can be and often is caricatured.
However plentiful caricatures perpetrated
in the name of the "waist-seam model" may be in
this city, we are glad to say we have none of
them.
We have what we know to be an unquestion
ably fine assortment of suits in these models; an
assortment from which any young fellow can
make his selection with confidence that in fabric,
in fashion and in tailoring he is getting all that it
is possible to get for his money.
We may have said this before or something
like it, but it is worth repeating in view of the
number of fine suits we have to back it up, and
also in view of the number of "waist-seam
models" to be seen all over Philadelphia that are
lacking m the first essential of right fashion or
sound quality.
Our youths' suits are priced at $30lo $50,
regardless of what any store may ask- for inferior"

The New $50,000 Purchase of Fine
Bedroom and Dining-Room Suits Is an
Object Lesson in Beautiful Cabinet Work
In fact, the makers of this furniture produce nothing but high-grade goods,
using only the finest woods, working them with the care and skill of thorough
craftsmen and finishing every article so as to bring it as near to perfection as
human skill can accomplish.
It is well to know that the fine finish and handsome detail of these suits have a
backing of sound construction, a fact that will be obvious from the pieces which
have been purposely left unfinished and unupholstered so as to enable you to
see just how this furniture is put together.
Along with the splendid new purchase, consisting wholly of bedroom and
dining-room suits, we have put in a number of suits of the same high grade
from our own stocks.
Prices all through are one-third less than our own regular figures.
