A Store That Has Done Its Best Every Day for Fifty-eight Years
r
iw
ie
lK
w
It Is Often Said That "a New
Broom Sweeps Clean"
but it is known to be a fact with old housekeepers
that an old broom is the best sweeper of "the
corners."
This fifty-eight-year-old
business broom
has been much used and well kept, and it is
really in better order than when we used it
first.
Our broom sweeps from the corner of
Thirteenth and Market Streets to the corner of
Juniper and Chestnut Streets and from the
corner of Juniper and Market Streets to the
corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, over
a block of three acres on the ground floor; and
from the basement, which is under the DoAvn
Stairs Store, entered from the underground
railway, towers up fourteen stories to the roof.
The measurement of floors and galleries
shows we are occupying over forty-five acres, all
in use for this one business.
It is a lot of sweeping
(a) To keep the house clean and safe.
(b) To keep the assortments of merchandise
full and good.
(c) To clean up stock every week and thus
avoid old stock.
(d) To sweep the advertising clean from
deceitfulness and clear of falsifications.
(e) To keep the big place bright, attractive
and interesting to sti'angers as well as
to our steadfast patrons.
To do our kind of sweeping, is a day and
night operation for many faithfui workers.

The variety of pieces comprises chairs, tables, benches, gateways, hooded seats,
swings, arbors and houses in several designs. The prices range from $16 for a table up to
$123 for an arbor with two seats.
Maytime gives to this furniture and to all the other novel and serviceable things in
the great Summer collection a particular charm and interest.
