Phenomenal Floor -Covering Bargains in This Annual
Linde Spring Rug Sale
$50,000
Special Purchase of
Rugs and Linoleums
For more than thirty years we have been offering the homemakers of Phila
delphia these wonderful savings. The fact that our business has grown so enormously
is proof that we give absolutely the biggest values in this city. But our reputation is
not built upon lowest prices alone. We know that quality is remembered long after
price is forgotten.
So, for that reason, from the very beginning, quality was woven in with every
thread of all our Rugs and Carpets, and it is today imbedded in the minds of those
who have dealt with us for a generation as' the one big, outstanding fact concerning
Linde goods. They last.
This Sale, a regular event, planned with great care every year for our customers, will
save you 30 to 40 per cent, because we bought at an outrageously low price just when the
manufacturers were readjusting their stocks to meet the present changed demands and con
ditions. A wonderfully clean stock of up-to-date designs and colorings. No "seconds," "as
is," weaver's blunders or slightly imperfect merchandise ever enters this store. Don't miss
this splendid opportunity.

HENRY LINDE
In 1876, at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia,
a group of forward-looking men met and founded Library
Bureau.
The beginning was most humble. Even in 1882 there
were but three employees in the Library Bureau organi
zationthe manager, one salesman and an office boy. Two
small second-floor rooms constituted the L. B. workshop
and office.
Today, Library Bureau is the world's largest manu
facturer of card record and filing equipment with seven
large factories branch offices in 49 principal cities of the
United States, England and France.
From the very first, Library Bureau has been both
pioneer and leader.
It originated vertical filing, the card record system, the card record
desk, counter-bight units, the L. B. Automatic index and practically
every worth-while filing method used in business today.
The L. B. seal, therefore, stands for something. It stands for progress
It stands for leadership it stands for practical usefulness.
Let us apply the practical know-how of 43 years' experience to the
betterment of your own filing methods.

And they thought they'd parade
in them through Paris!
1$ Our entire East Window is given over
to a display of German Dress Helmets
and other captured war trophies. Out-
side of a couple of saw-edged Boche bay-
onets and other instruments of frightful
ness, the helmets are the piece de resist
ance. We have fifty of them in one group,
and a few on the side. Their material,
their finish, their workmanship show r.
painstaking care and time.
The point is this. Thousands and .
thousands of these dress helmets were
captured by the Allied Armies in Bel
gium where they had been stored by the
careful, calculating Teuton in readiness
for his triumphal parade into and
through Paris. It was all planned and
prepared for. The stage was all set, and
the properties were already provided.
Just about a year ago their exulting
shouts were rolling down the valleys and
rocking the barriers between them and
their goal.
J Then came the American Doughboy
and all his brothers who salute the Stars
and Stripes. Had it not been for them
the parade would have gone through,
and Civilization would have lain pros
trate at the feet of Arrogance.
We had to spend millions of dollars
to help those Boys of ours to turn the
"tide, and now we hae the opportunity
to do our share by paying the bill. Think
it oer! Better have these helmets in
this Perry Window today than parading
down Broad Street and collecting bil
lions of dollars not for Bonds, but for
Bondage !
