Good News for People Who Want to Make the Most of Summer
53HpiBSP3?!pift
The Only Hope of the Troubled
World at This Time
is to go straight on in everything that intensi
fies Americanism.
It has some, enemies who will show their
teeth in wild acts of hostility which, when the
finals 'are played, will only add to their own
ruination.
The prayer of humanity is for all that is
unfolded
By the American Flag
Nothing else will satisfy the multitudes
all over the world who have longed for this
hour, and been wounded in body and soul
while waiting for the dawning of these days.
It is hard for pride and power to submit,
but there is one who will "speak peace unto
the people" and who bids them not to return
unto folly.
Give us plain and pure patriotism of the
George Washington type.

The Relationship Between a Man's
. Clothes and His Comfort
is obvious enough there is no need to dwell upon it.
Our men's Summer suits stand for all the comfort and all the fashion and all the satis
faction that any man of sense and judgment can desire. This is true of the regular Sum
mer suits of cool, airy cheviots and worsteds and also of the tropical suits of Palm Beach,
mohair and breezeweave fabrics.
Suits of both of these kinds will be found here at their best in materials and making
we are not in the clothing business to be satisfied with selling something short of the
finest clothing to be had.
All our Summer suits are Summer suits in the best sense of the word. We could get
other kinds to sell if we would sell them, which we would not. We could not get better kinds
to sell for the prices at which we offer these, because better cannot be had.
Palm Beach, mohair and breezeweave suits, $18 to $35. Cool cheviot and worsted suits.
$32 to $65.

Found We Will Sell
Them at $30
(In the London Shop)
For some months a little lot of men's trench coats hap been
lost in transit. The other day they turned up, and because of their
lateness we are going to put them on sale at $30 each, which is
less than they have ever sold for and just half of what they were
before the Armistice.
These coats are made of a wonderfully durable, hard-twill
fabric in khaki color. They make excellent raincoats and are
unsurpassed as motor coats. The detachable fleece lining that
comes with them will turn them into fine storm coats next Fall
and Winter.

A Piano Will Enliven
Your Summer Home
Even the joys of a Summer resort are not unending We
cannot live on them for months, any more than we could live on
cake and lemonade.
Anyone who has ever spent a season at such a place knows
how important it is to have all thf advantages of a real home to
be really happy.
And that means
Music
Music is so much a part of the lives of most of us that wo
must have a certain amount of it. We do not know now much
we depend upon it for inspiration and cheer until we are not
able to have it when we will.
If you want to make sure that your Summer is complete,
send a piano, or a player-piano, or a reproducing piano to your
cottage. You will never hear the oft-repeated question, "Well,
what shall we do this evening7"

If You Need an Odd Piece of Furniture Now Is
Your Opportunity
We are holding one of the most untyk il disposals of odd furni
ture in the history of this fuiniture business, a disposal comprising
several hundred pieces, no two of them alike and all at reductions of
one-third, one-half and more.
The pieces are so reliable and the prices so low that anybody
who can find room for another piece of furniture has now a golden
opportunity that should be seized at once, because these goods are
too unusual to remain long here. They are goods of our own regular

price reductions are in many cases more than they seem, because

chairs at half-price, china closets at one-third less than regular;
toilet tables, beds, bedroom chairs and somnoes at half; arts and
crafts and mission-style pieces at reductions of one-third and some

The June Sale of China and
Glassware Goes on Apace
This sale, now in its final week, goes ahead as only a sale can go
that has the right goods behind it and plenty of them. It is a large
enough and varied enough and helpful enough sale to go ahead'with
out exaggerations. The merchandise in it is the kind that will siand
investigation.
The dinner sets are standard dinner sets in the number of pieces
and in the composition of each set.
They are first-selection wares in character, shape and decora
tions. The glassware is of fine giade; much of the cut crystal in this
sale is of the highest and most brilliant quality obtainable. All of it
is standard. There were never so many distinctive and beautiful cut
tings. On the whole, it is the best and lowest-priced lot of cut glass
shown in Philadelphia for many years.
But time is running short, no matter how plentiful opportunities
may be. The sale ends with June. While it continues you can buy
French, English, American and Japanese dinner sets at savings of 20
per cent, cut glass at savings of 25 to 50 per cent and other glassware
at relatively large savings.
