Searching the World Over to Show Something New Every Day
At

" ' T.mmk&mwi v prwsjazKT - i'-wew &- wi&-' ,- i,w. .,
The Young "Holmes" Girls With
Armfuls of Crimson Ramblers
picked in the early morning, covered the large
table of this office with them, as a token of what
they called "a delightful visit to their much
loved Store"; and yesterday there came a letter
from a prominent citizen which reads :
"My daughter, though married, continues to deal
with the Grand Depot (how people cling to old
names!), and she represents the fourth genei-ation of
r' the family who have been your customers; and at this
time we are buying things for the fifth generation."
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.

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.
Tropical, in a special sense, means Palm
Beach, mohair and breeze-weave at $18 to $35.
It can also mean the coolest kind of open
weave worsted, cheviot or serge at $32 to $65.
Both kinds are at their best in this stock of
ours.

making of a sale, and they are here to make this a good Sale to the last hour of it.
people who need china, especially French china, would do well to buy it now, because
the trend of the market is still upward. Their own common sense will tell them as
much. 2
Similarly as regards cut glass. The choice of cut glass in this Sale is the best
at the prices-in many years which, considering circumstances, is a remarkable fact.
4,,n.ot?bIe featui'e of the Sale is the extraordinary buying of things for weddine
gifts. This is especially true of the cut glass.
Whether you require dinner sets or glassware for gift-giving or for your own
use, it is important to remember that the time for buying it at .Tune Sale prices is run
ning short.
French china dinner sets, $32.50 to $175,
English semi-porcelain dinner sets, $25 to $100.
