' - Vffif " " ' ' The Great Event Beginning Monday - o Is Known Far and Wide as the Most Important Money -Saving Opportunity, of the Entire Year SENS OF THOUSANDS of people of this city and suburbs, and of the towns and country for fifty miles in every direction, are undoubtedly looking forward to the Strawbridge & Clothier Anniversary Sale. Therefore, it is safe to say that this announcement is the most im portant news in this paper for all who need merchandise of any description, as it would be dif i ficult to imagine that there is a single reader who does not desire several of the thousands of articles offered at less than regular prices by the SEVENTY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS participating in this event. J Our customers know much of the history and reputation of this Store, and of the Anni versary Sales, which have been an unique feature pf its activities for the past eleven years. . And we know you believe us when we say that there is an element of sentiment in these anniver saries that is above and beyond the mere piling up of sales during the month of June. It is in Reality a Profit-Sharing Occasion in Honor of the Founders .. . : Who Established Our Principles, and of Our Custom?: Who Have Confidence in Them, to Whom We Owe Ouiaiccess HE FIRM of Strawbridge & Clothier was established in 1868, when Isaac H. Clothier entered into partnership with Justus C. Strawbridge. We count our anniversaries from that date, although Mr. Strawbridge had been in business on this corner since 1862. We are round ing out our 51st year of steady, continuous growth, building on the solid foundation laid by the founders, whose sole aim and effort was to gain and retain the confidence of the public, by buy ing and selling standard merchandise at fair prices and guaranteeing satisfaction with every purchase. v. This Sale, then, is in the nature of an expression of our gratitude toward our customers, and we have exerted all our energies to procure SPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE VALUES, and we make a considerable SACRIFICE OF PROFIT in many instances. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of seasonable and desirable merchandise will be sold at MUCH LESS THAN PRESENT MARKET VALUE, and hundreds of manufacturers with whom we have regular dealings have entered into the spirit of the occasion, making liberal concessions in prices at a time when costs are high and when (in many instances) there is no impelling reason to give EX TRAORDINARY VALUES beyond their desire to assist in making this Anniversary Sale the greatest in our history.- We cannot give details of the thousands of special lots of goods. &!trfihe Principal Lots of Merchandise at Reduced Prices -N m - S-l H Jf 1 Golden special ivfonaay A wonaeriui collection oi Men's Suits at .$24.50 While there are hundreds of very extraordinary, values for Monday, theUd GoWen Special is the only one which has the distinction of detailed presentation.
