At 9:15 yesterday morning three gentlemen standing on the Street Floor in the Grand Central Court, observing the dressings of the new goods while the Great Organ thundered its morning welcome, were outspoken over the new and pretty .things for women's dresses that were being arranged by the hands of tasteful women clerks. It makes one feel good to have the many evidences of the appreciation of an ever enlarging public. To seek the world around for what the people need, and every day to show something new and invite inspection without any obliga tion of buying, is a full compensation for our labors. Having people to say to us, of their own voluntary good-will, "We are so much pleased with your Store," makes us very happy. Signed June 25, 1010. jkmtM.

(The Gallery, Clirttnut) Adding More Good Pieces to the Clearin: of Odd Furniture Considering the increased cost of everything that enters into the making of furniture, the opportunities presented by this disposal of oddments are manifestly remarkable. On nothing in the entire collection of several hundred pieces is there a saving of less than one-third ; many pieces are at half price, some considerably less than half. But no two are alike, that is the reason for such unusual reductions, and these reductions in many instances are from prices a year to a year and a half old, thus making the savings greater than they appear. The gaps made by the selling of the past few days have been filled up by the addition of fresh pieces. Besides the bedroom furniture here listed, there is also a good choice of pieces for dining rooms and living rooms.

Tropically Speaking, Sir are your clothes the kind that dress you up and cool you down at the same time? The old saying that "you can fight the cold, but you can't fight the heat" is all nonsense. It was good enough before men had learned to make tropical suits that keep their fellow men cool without taking it out of their appearance. However, not all tropical suits do this, but enough of them do to make sure that no man who means to have one need be without it. We have seen to. it that no man who depends upon this Store for the finest tropical suit his money can buy is going to be disappointed.
