"My Old Watch Is Right, for
It Never Deceives Me"
the. fine old gentleman said of the little
faithful servant he had carried in his pocket
a long time.
It is a habit to look up at the face of the
town clock as you pass along, or now and
then to ask, "What time is it?" of a friend
beside you who happens to be looking at his
watch, but invariably you go back to the
watch in your vest or on your fob which you
learned to trust for its corrections.
The dear little thing with an open face
and two little hands seems almost a part of
our lives.
A thoroughly tried friend whose judg
ment and friendship have been well tested
or a properly organized bank, store or school
is worth holding on to.
Signed
Oct. SO, 1010.

Many younger women and
women of slight build are ask

kinds have large collars of ra
coon fur and fancy silk linings.
They are $75.

What You Might Call
a Metamorphosis of a Silk
The silk was a good grade of wash satin in the natural color and
we had quite a large amount on hand.
Anticipating the present demand for this wash satin in flesh color,
we took this silk to an expert dyer and finisher of silks and had it dyed
an exquisite pale flesh pink and especially treated so that it would wash
well afterward.
The result has been most successful and this very pretty wash satin
has been giving great satisfaction for foundations for evening gowns,
blouses and all kinds of women's undergarments.
It is 36 inches wide and $2.50 a yard. If we had to buy it today
this satin would of necessity be double what it is.

Q Jfunt ttuve Client for Hotas
of Jf me Ancestral GDijingg
ONE of the essential differences between
the products of olden times and those of
modern times is that the makers of things in
olden times put more of themselves into their
work. That is one good reason why the work
of so many of them has survived and become
a standard for after times.
The things they made possessed an indi
vidual or personal quality. Thomas Sheraton,
the poor semi-reeluse, might well have writ
ten on any one of tho elegant looking pieces
of furniture that carrje from his hands, "This
is the work of one Thomas Sheraton and
an expression of his personality." The same
is true, probably even in a greater degree, of
the French and Italian craftsmen.
In their work they have left us part of
themselves, of their very individuality, and
that is why it holds an interest which "age
cannot wither nor custom stale."
You will find these ideas illustrated in
the collection of rare furniture reproductions
of which we are now holding a sale.
Each of these is a lineal descendant of a
prized old piece. As a collection, nothing like
it has ever been seen in Philadelphia.
The spirit of the old cabinet makers of
Europe seems to be in it, because every piece
is an exact copy of a rare original.
None of it was made to be sold in a regu
lar furniture store, the maker of it work
ing exclusively for fine decorators.
It is so individual and uncommercial that
we do not like putting a value upon it; and
yet we, bought it and have priced it on a mod
erate commercial basis at one-third less than
the maker intended it to sell for.
On that basis we have $90,000 worth,
consisting of individual things for halls,
libraries, living rooms, as, for instance,
chests and cupboards of an ancient and
charming type ; exquisite chairs and the like,
all of the kind that connoisseurs and lovers
of ancestral things will surely delight in.
