No Aim or a Low Aim Is
Next Door to
a crime. Some of us older fellows can tell you of
young chaps who graduated from thefr schools with
honors and sat down as if. the wars of life, and
country were oyer.
To their close friends and relations they
confidentially admitted that they had opportunities
of this and that, but they had concluded it was better
not to undertake anything and "make a failure of it."
Failures are not fatal unless we go to sleep with
them. Edison, Marconi, Cyrus W. Field,. Abraham
Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant had their failures, but each
of them kept on undaunted until he "won out."'
Have you noticed that out of the war humanities
there has been an evolution of many able business
women who can take the places that men have been
accustomed to fill? Why not?

Several Hundred Individual Pieces of
Excellent Furniture in a Special Turn-out
at Prices Reduced One-Third to One-Half
The bulk of the pieces comprised in this event are
marked at factory cost. Many are at less, and a com
paratively small number at slightly more.
As the furniture situation exists today, the op
portunity to choose from this collection at the prices is
a very remarkable one, because there is as yet no sign
that productive costs are coming down, and these goods
are marked at the figure that prevailed before there
was any decided advance in the market.
All of this furniture is our own kind of furniture,
sound and handsome. The collection consists of the
individual pieces originally belonging to sets and larger
groups. However desirable these goods may be, it is
good stockkeeping not to permit them to accumulate.
That is why we let them go at such low prices.
If you need an individual piece, an odd bureau,
chiffonier, bed, dressing table, china closet, serving
table, or some odd chairs for a bedroom or a dining
room, there is no better time to buy than now, and there
will not be in some time.
35 sewing tables from .$10.50 to $3S.
35 china closets from $18 to $94.
175 dining-room chairs, $3.75 to $56.
30 toilet tables, $19 to $60.
