There arc few books, magazines or newspaper articles that are as educative as the pictorial volumes picturing scenery, buildings, people, costumes, customs, furniture, kitchen utensils and tools. The old-time Franklin Institute Exhibitions, the last of which was held in the old freight station on this site when it was first vacated by the railroad, did more to make people acquainted with Philadelphia's enterprise than anything else, except the Centennial Exhibition at Fairmount Park, which revived industries all over the United States by what was learned of what the entire world was doing in fashions, fabrics and house decorations. Philadelphia is sadly in want of such an exhibition building now. Thearmorics arc not sufficiently attractive to show off the Philadelphia productions. "' The subject of the Sesqui-Centennial in 1926 will require prompt beginning. If Philadelphia does not want to cele"brate the 150th anniversary of the work of 1776, no doubt some other city will take it up, or the government at Washington may locate it at the capital of the nation. It will need to be made ready in 1925. Five years and a fraction of this year is a short time for such a herculean undertaking. It took between seven and eight years to make the preparations for the Centennial and two years to make the necessary buildings in the Park. It took seven years to complete this Store building in sections.

(Jenelrj- Htore, Cliestuiil A Thirteenth) L u A A How Many Men Will Look Well Into the Quality of the New Clothes They Are Going to Buy Tomorrow? In buying anything, from a spool of. thread to a touring car, tho first thing to make sure of is quality, because on quality everything depends, and for quality there is no substitute. The tailor has yet to be born who can make a garment to hold its shape without putting the required amount of work into the making of it. Without good tailorwork a man's suit cannot have quality, cannot have style and cannot give service. Without the right backing style crumbles. How many of you men who are going to choose your new suits tomorrow will look into these things, and how many of you will find out just how much, or how little, there is behind tho fashion or the seeming good looks of the suits that will be shown to you? We don't know, but we do know that for as many of you as want suits in which the finest fashion is backed by the finest kind of tailoring and the best all-wool fabrics, our Men's Clothing Store is ready. The new suits are $32 to $73. Fine Winter overcoats $32 to $100. Cllilril Hour, MurLrt) Signed Ocl.
