L General Washington as Seen
' in a Picture
as a patriot, or on horseback as a soldier, never
grows old, nor does the picture fail to impart an
inspiration. TIjere is hardly a page of his life that
does not contain a lesson of use to every young man
who is a true American and who means in these days
to serve his country.
There is a record of Washington giving a dinner
party while President.
Among his invited guests was William Cushing
an eminent lawyer. General Washington was noted
for his punctuality, and on the minute named the
guests went to the table. Mr. Cushing came in late,
and the only seat vacant was' the place of honor at
the right of the President.
When Gushing entered Washington said in a
clear, emphatic voice, "Mr. Justice Cushing will
please take a scat at my right hand' Cushing was
deeply affected, it is said, but with his ready sense
said, "Of what Court, Sir?" He believed the word of
t
the President, great and unexpected though the
promotion was.
What a great thing to be known that you are to
be depended upon for every word you speak ! That's
theaim of this Store, -so to be known for in general,
and through each of its employes in particular.

July S, 1910.

Women Have Been Asking for
Something Different in
Raincoats
Here it is and it &eems to answer all the requirements of a light

Young Men's Models
Stand Out in Our
Stock of Suits
Tile lines of youth are a particular study to
which our Men's Clothing Store has devoted a
great deal of attention. The lithe and sinewy
form of a young fellow wearing his first long
trousers furnishes a critical test of a designer
or a tailor.
He has actually to translate youthfulness
into the outlines of a garment. Some makers of
youths' suits do this better than others, and the
makers who do it better are the makers to whom
we go for young men's clothing.
The young men's models in our present
stock are conspicuously good examples of cor
rect modeling and fine tailor work.
These suits have the lines that all youths'
suits should have ; and they have everything else
necessary to make them the finest ready-to-wear
suits of the kind that can be had anywhere for
the money $28 to $38.

Moderately Priced Player-Pianos in Good Plenty
Just now there is a great demand for inexpensive
player-pianos, and we are fortunate in having such a good
supply. Profiting by past experience, we provided for the
Summer season on a larger scale than ever.
People -want these instruments for their Summer
hoirles. But whether for Summer homes only or to use
all y,ear roiuid, as well as in Summer, they want good
player-pianos.
" Lindeman Player-Pianos at $585
meet all these requirements. They are pretty nearly as
modestly priced as thoroughly good player-pianos can be
these days, and they are thoroughly good better than a
great many much higher-priced instruments.
We have a couple dozen Lindeman player-pianos on
the floors just now and probably twice that number of
other good player-pianos, some of them reduced, at $545
to ?600. Any of these instruments may be bought on
convenient terms. .
