" ' An Honest Man Can Bear
Watching and a Dishonest
Man Needs It
So runs the old proverb. It is a pleasure to
write about this old Store, which has grown like the
old oaks in the forests, reaching up to the sunlight
and broadening out in every direction.
The thing we most enjoy is to have the people
know that we "can bear watching." We court it at
all times.
The building we builded and occupy, seen on the
outside, is only a detail of the inside.
The stocks of merchandise inside must be as
-.vorrectly put together as the blocks of granite in the
walls. The goods must be taken only at the source
of production. They must be brought to our
salesrooms at least cost and offered to the people at
prices the lowest possible for their better quality.
We will not deal in anything that will not prove
Jtself to be worth the money our customers pay us.
We shall cheapen everything we can by buying
largest quantities and paying cash down, but we will
not dilute linen or wool with cotton, nor will we
imitate well-known articles by counterfeits to shave
down the price to undersell somebody.
Please consider this a free ticket to visit the
Stove at all times and watch us as closely as you can
in every way you like.
Whoever can help us to better the Store will be
doing a service to the public; which has never been
more friendly than now.
Signed
June SI, 1010.

A $2 Black Satin
That Started Out As White
We ourselves imported it from China and, for an experiment,
re asked the head of a certain dyeing establishment if he could dye
.& name satin black and make it both water-spot-proof and persp.ra-tion-proof
... . . .
The satin has just been returned to us and the experiment is, a
qrcat success The satin 1 a beautiful black, wonderfully soft and of
; finer quality than it was before.
Wc have had it washed in both cold and warm water and we feel
wife In recommending it for wash blouses, dresses, and we are now
subjecting it to tests for bathing suits.
There is not much of this satin, it is 36 inches wide and we have
made the price very low.

Fine Gowns for Afternoon and
Evening $50 to $185
Behind the glass doors in those Little Gray Salons there are
scores and hundreds of the prettiest things being turned out
anywhere and no two of them alike. For instance
Imagine a dull blue organdie veiled with black net; or one

creamy filet; or a beige-colored pongee, its slip-on heavily braided;
or a smoky Georgette with a knot of flowers in bright king's blue,
or a moire Georgette in rose taupe with beaded motifs in which the
rose shades are accentuated.
There are gowns with beaded coats which are enchanting;
gowns with the sleeves and upper bodice a mere cobweb of some
transparent stuff; gowns of charmeuse and moire taffeta which
are clearly for afternoon and are really very practical. And
there are exquisite beaded affairs in light colors.

This furniture is odd only in the numerical sense,
the pieces having no duplicates.
We have taken the most direct way of disposing
of them by lowering their prices one-third to one-half.

the advance in the meantime, the savings are consid
erably larger than they seem.

in the assortment.
In addition to these there is a small lot of odd wicker
furniture, made up of chairs, rockers, tables, nests of tables
and settees and muffin stands, all reduced one-third or more.
For the greater convenience of customers, we have
brought all these pieces together on the Central Section of
the Seventh Floor, where they can be easily recognized by
their special blue price tags.
In character, this furniture is no different from the
kind we always sell. It was made to look well and to serve
lastingly. The whole collection is made up of things people
want. It is not a disposal of undesirables.
China closets are shown at $17.50 to $70. This is a
