"An Ounce of Mother -Wit
-is worth a pound of
but it will not take the
place of school and college education.
The human mind is an empty furnace unless the
coals of learning are put in it and the fires kept
""burning by persistent study.
Natural smartness will not take the placc of a
well-filled mind to apply the advantage of stored-up
knowledge.
A little room with even a little stock of
merchandise in it can do some business, but every
good thing grows'. The whole of the fourteen stories
of this huge building, fronting on four big streets, is
not as large as we need today for this big, improving
business. "

From Shanghai, China, New
White Wash Silk
It can be used for everything
that a Japanese habutai can and
it washes and wears just as well.
The weave, however, is some
what softer and has a slight un
evenness which is much ad
mired. Wo have received 1200 yards
of this silk, all 30 inches wide,
to sell for $2 a yard. This price
(First Floor,
being based on the cost of two
years ago, is consequently
very much under today's rating.
Also Shanghai white silk is a
scarce article today in this coun

to be found.
Blouses, negligees, linings,
foundations and .underwear are
only a few of its many uses.
