You Can Tell What the
Worker Must Have Been
by the work he has done. A great house of business
with its furniture, pictures, lights, music and beauty
certainly could not get together without some
master hand. No house made itself.
The Patent Office at Washington, among all of
its thousands of thousands of patents, cannot show
a model of a self-lighting tallow candle. Were the
star works above our heads, at work through all the
centuries, to wear out or lose a little screw, Edison,
the master mechanic and inventor, could not replace
it. But the incandescent comfo'rt lights of our
homes are Edison transfigured. The telegraph
message from your son or lover, traveling along a
bunch of protected wire at the bottom of the sea
amid its deep dark rocks, is Cyrus W. Field
transfigured.
Dr. William Pepper, in his short, over-worked
lifetime, planted
the Commercial Museum
the Free Libraries
the University of Pennsylvania Museum
and the Provost, Charles Custis Harrison, became
its benefactor and president, and he and Eckley B.
Coxe gave their lives to its .enlargement,
'development and support, thereby placing it on
stable foundations, that it might rank, as it does
now, with the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
The Wisdom higher than that of earth hath
spoken, that, by the fruits of man's life shall he be
known. A man can be read like a book sure and
surely if he does nothing, there is nothing to his
account.
Signed

It May Seem Strange to Reduce
Women's Leather Coats
Seeing that leather is rising in price and therefore such coats
as these will most surely cost more in the Fall.
But there are only a few left and so we have further lowered the
markings to $25 and $00.
Two styles, both in black and tan leather with suede lining.
One, the shorter model, is particularly adapted to women who drive
a car. It is now $25. The other, a three-quarter length, may be used
for a motoring coat or a raincoat. The price is $30.

tan and heather mixtures.

100 Beautiful Dress Skirts
Reduced to $22.50 Each .
Earlier than customary for such skirts to be lowered in
price, but we have never before had such a fine assortment and
we never before sold so many.
This leaves many odd skirts and some of which we have only
one and two of a kind, and consequently incomplete sizes and
colors. '
There are the daintiest of Georgette crepes, plain, trimmed
and embroidered; crepes de chine, novelty fabrics and about half
the number are snakeskins, plain, striped and plaid.
They are all quite fresh, some being very new, and there

It hasn't taken any time to find it out, either, because women
buy them as soon as they see them.

and $8.50 all of them even made by hand and tucked in the daintiest
of-pin tucks.
Another style at $12.50 has more hand embroidery and, in addition,
