A Snowball Grows Larger
the More You Roll It Around
So do very little things not worth spending
much time upon that should be dismissed from the
mind that it might be free for, useful things. Some
one has said: "Never trouble yourself with trouble
until a real trouble troubles you."
In old days in this and all cities shopping was a
terrible task to many.
It took so much time, and the shopper had to go
long distances to twenty places or more, and walking

omnibus or driving over streets paved with small
round cobblestones that made riding continual
jolting and bumping.
This Store amazed people because they could
find almost everything wanted.
-) ' It saved time, expense, strength and comfort.
That one thing, the removing of trouble,
conquered a little world of friends for us from the
beginning. So to speak, we untied big bundles of
purchases people carried in their arms along the
streets, and all the goods being here, were collected
and sent home, free of expense. "What a relief it
was!" the people used to tell us every day.
In old times the stores seem to have had an idea
that they were the whole thing; and then this Store
came and made the people understand that they, the
people who had the money to spend to supply their
, wants, were the whole thing.
With new hospitalities, new privileges, new
platform of dealing, where customers had rights
instead of favors often disagreeably given', the
people were easily able to discover that they had a
store that really was
A New Kind
We have learned much and are continually
learning, and it is a great pleasure all the time to see
our plans rolling up to better service without any
need of pretensions or braggadocio. The plain everyday-alike
facts are apparent.

Pongee for
Coolness
and Wear
No other silk you can find is
as practical and satisfactory,
for men's and women's clothes
for warm weather. One reason
is that it washes-so well.
We have a good grade of
Shantung pongee at 65c a
yard. Many women use it for
blouses, dresses, petticoats and
negligees.
There is a much better qual
ity, well worth the difference,
at $1.50 a yard, which we can
strongly recommend for men's
shirts, women's waists, dresses
and children's clothes.
At $2 a yard is one of tho
best Shantung pongees made.
It is almost impossible to wear
it out, and for this reason it is
used for men's and women's
tailored suits, riding breeches
and motoring coats. '

MORE THAN
PLEASURE
SUGGESTS SLIP
COVERS
They are a real piotection to
the furniture from two of its
worst enemies, the hot sun and
dust. Years ago people used to
put slip covers on even though
they were ugly, because it was
more economical in the long run.
English chintzes and cretonnes
make the best and prettiest cov
ers that anybody could want.
Many of the designs in the latter
tire copied from beautiful I rencn
linen prints.
English chintzes, 90c to $1.75
a yard.
Cretonnes, 35c, 50c, 60c, 65c,
75c, 85c, $1 and $1.25 a yard.
But the best and quickest way
is to let us make the slip covers
and draperies to match. A postal
or telephone call is all that is nec
essary to bring our representative
to give ostimates.

Summer Suits for
Men of Spirit
(In the London Shop)
With a great many men, especially young men, one
of the most important requirements of a suit of clothes
is that it shall have individuality.
They don't want to find themselves sitting beside
strangers wearing suits that are either identical or
very similar in design. It would be a drab world if
every man wore the same kind of clothes.
Individuality in a man's suit is partly a matter of
cut and partly a matter of material. These new Summer
suits show it in both ways.
We call particular attention to a little lot of
cheviots, in the high colors characteristic of sports
clothes tans, browns and greens that are rather pro
nounced, yet perfectly good form.
These suits are in two and three button single
breasted models and in double-breasted moflels and the
