:A Store With a Serious Sense of Its Duty to the Public
VI
Many Men Are Like Lincoln's
Lazy Stepbrother
who bothered his stepbrother, Abraham, by his
, wabbling about from one farm or shop where
he was employed to another, and never sticking
to his job.
The President once wrote to him:
"Squirming and crawling about from one place
to another will do you no good."
The prodigious prosperity all 'over the
United States affords work -enough for every
man and woman, at good wages, willing to work.
Take note of what Major General Leonard
Wood is doing for unemployed men at his
headquarters, in Chicago, 111.
It is almost disgraceful for any able-bodied
man to be without work these busy days.
, Swinging around in lackadaisical way in an
attitude of indifference never gets anywhere.
This store isin earnest all over.

Women's New Sports Coats
From Switzerland
Made of artificial silk, which is almost as costly as real
silk these days and in models that are unique as well as
practical.
These coats were personally selected from the foremost
manufacturer in Switzerland, the man who previous to the
war produced the beautiful coats seen at Luzerne and other
Swiss Summer resorts.
Only one coat of a kind and color, so come early for first
Belection-and then be assured that for some time to come
you won't see the same coat on any one' else.
Three models, two at $50 each and one at $75.

Men's Cool Suits for Hot
Humid Days
We are here lo keep men properly
dressed for all weathers. Common
sense and common experience now
point to the wisdom of being pre
pared for tropical days, because July
spells heat, to say nothing of hu
midity. The tropical suit is the thing.
But a man should be careful in
choosing one if he would be sure of
getting one tliat will fit him well and
hold its good lines.
Good lines and good fit depend
upon good tailorwork.
Good tailorwork is the particular
mark of all our men's tropical suits.
This applies both to the thin, cool,
open-weave worsteds that start at
935 and go up to $65 ; but also espe
cially to the "Palm Beach," breeze
weave and mohair suits of which we
show such a good selection at .$18 to
$35. '

Low-Priced Linens to

An inexpensive bit of fancy linen can do more to give a
bungalow a "livable" and "homey" atmosphere than anything,
except the kind of friends who arc good to live with.

of their dainty appearance and low prices are some linen scarfs '
trimmed with a deep flounce of lace in a Cluny effect 18x36
inches at $3; 18x45 inches at $3.75 and 18x54 inches at 4.50 each.
Others of a still more inexpensive kind in the same sizes aro i
$2.25, $2.50 and $2.75 each.
Very popular also are the 13-pIeco linen Junch sets in the
natural or tan shade at $2 a set for the 13 pieces,
Six, 10 and 24 inch sizes.
All of these pieces arc remarkably low in view of costs now s
prevailing. f
