Of Course the Store Closes
All Day Thursday
and all our people join in
The Welcome to the Heroes Returning Home
But the city is full of strangers. Some of them
are1 soldiers that returned weeks ago, who are
visiting the city to add to the ovation that Phila?
delphia offers to all the soldiers of the. State.
Therefore, be it known that we will open the
'Store from two to five to extend our hospitality to
the out-of-town people principally.
There will be no goods sold under any
circumstances.
The two bands of our Military Organization
will add to the music of the great organ, and the
Grand Court will probably ring with the voices of
all who care to sing the favorite songs of the soldiers
and the noble hymns that they like.
It will be necessary to notice that there will be
iuily two entrances to the Store, one at the corner of
Juniper and Market Streets. The people will pass
through the West Aisle to Chestnut Street, and if
they choose, may use the other entrance at
Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, and follow the
.East Aisle, which empties at Thirteenth and Market.
jWhen the Store is full, the doors will be closed until
.Jt empties in part and there is room again.
If the people entering the Store will keep
moving, we shall be able to accommodate perhaps
$00,000 people, who will enjoy their visit the more
for the privilege that we offer.
The Grand Stand erected on Market Street
.contains less than a thousand seats, none of which
has been sold, nor will any be sold. They have been
reserved for the mothers of boys of the Store who
have gone to war, and these can have every seat, if
necessary, without pay.
Colonel Win. R. Scott, the head of our military
organization, has entire charge of these scats.

We Know the Clothing Needs
of Young Men
And we know how to satisfy them.
Young men's suits are coming in here almost every clay, and they
have need to, because of the rate at which others are going out.
It is not our purpose to boast of the business we are doing we
merely want the young men to know that any day they come in here they
are sure of finding a good assortment to select from, an assortment as dif
ferent from the stale, picked-over assortment as a fresh, growing rose is
different from a dried-up withered one. We mean to uphold the standing
of this Store as the best store for a young man of character and fashion to
buy his clothes in, and we are doing it solely by having the suits that best
satisfy young men, by having them in a satisfactory variety and by keeping
our stocks fresh and new every day.
" Today we have a showing of young men's suits at $28 to $50 that
can hardly be duplicated in this city, taking all points of excellence into
account, especially their fine fashion lines and finished tailor work. But
we are glad that there are some other stores trying to provide as good suits
as ours and we are always willing to have ours put against any others for
fair comparison.
