Never in the history of the nation have we,
had a day set apart to make a proper
Welcome to Victorious Troops
who have fought national battles on sea and land
overseas and returned to their families and their
friends in their old home city, after laying their
tributes of love, memories and comradeship upon

the nation's honor.
We Do Well to Surrender
to Our Splendid Boys
the whole day and fill it with rejoicings.
The (glory of their self-sacrifice and achieve
ments will be brighter and our joy more gladsome
as we see their faces and watch the steady tramp
of feet that stood between us and peril, that never
faltered until the foes of the flag were routed and
voluntarily surrendered to our troops.
It is a glorious history that the boys employed
and trained in this Store for over twenty-seven
years, in military-practice, have written jn large
and Honorable acts.
The grandstand that we have erected, cover
ing our Market Street front, has been turned over
mainly to the 406 mothers of our boys, who have
each received two tickets to see the boys as they
come marching home. It was only a small token
of our love and remembrance to let them have
that extra ticket to bring whoever they liked to
have with them.
One Battery of the 108th Artillery was made
up almost entirely of our storemen, trained under
our roof.
No courtesy we can offer can express our
regard, and it is a pleasure to find places for them
to re-enter their business life.
At two o'clock our doors will open to
The Promenade Concert
From 2 to 5'P. M. on Our Street Floor
and the Program of the Grand Organ and our
two instrumental Bands, arranged specially, for
out-of-town visitors to enjoy, will be printed in
tomorrow morning's announcements.

Hurrah !

"When do we eat?" is one of
the first cries of our leturninjr
warriors. Not that they did
not get plenty of good food
abroad, but it wasn't the kind
that mother makes.
And after eating, one of the
fiibt things' a soldier enjoys is
music. He likes to sing. Many
a man who never sang a note
befoie he left America, has
come back just bubbling with
melodj.
There wasn't much music in
the trenches, but wheievei
theie was a rest camp or any
other suitable place theie was
plenty of it. There is nothing

When a store can say that its suits are as good as they can be and
their prices as low as they can be, it has much in its favor. Our Men's
Clothing Store can make these claims. What is more, it can prove them
we are ready to prove them under any fair test.
To people who think Ave make rather strong statements regarding

afraid to have any man compare with any other goods similarly priced and.

As we look at it, we are in the men's clothing business not to do just

for satisfaction to men needing new clothes and we are doing it. '
