The Time to Level Up and
Level Down for America
is close at hand. This young nation, walled in by the
seas, stopped at nothing to help win the war.
Thousands of work people went almost barefoot to
help their more fortunate neighbors place the
Liberty Bonds necessary to make credit for loans to
the nations abroad.
That the Government credit given remained, to
a great extent, in the United States, is true, but
while this benefited many factories, it only added to
our embarrassment, as it created a scarcity of
merchandise and of articles made in America, and
therefore it resulted in raising the high cost of
living and it compelled the raising of wages, which
have steadily advanced the past four years.
Now, how can the United States prosper, if
these conditions continue? When and where shall we
begin to take care of America?
With no less good will to our fathers and brothers
overseas.

Men's Suits That Are Right in the
Materials and Right All
the Way Through
We have been long enough in the
clothing business to know just what it
takes to make the best kind of suit for any
man for any season.
Fundamentally, the essentials of a good
suit of clothes are the same today as they
have ever been.
These are the right woolens, the right
trimmings, the right tailorwork, the right
knowledge of fashions and the right good
purpose to turn out the best for the money.
We have an ample stock of suits here
and every one of them was made from that
recipe. No better fabrics are used in any
suits sold for the same prices anywhere.
and when we say fabrics we mean all-wool fabrics.
No finer tailoring can be found in any ready-to-wear suits in fact, we don't
know of any other suits in which the tailoring is quite so good.
So far as style is concerned these suits tell their own story to the eye of any one
who knows what style is, and in the wear they will prove that back of the style there is
the real groundwork of quality, the quality that tells in the long run. Youths' models
are a conspicuously fine feature of this collection, but we have styles and sizes and shades
for all men.
Prices $32 to $75.
(Third Floor, Market)
The Finest Sweaters
for Men
are these of soft and silky cashmere, the nearest
approach to genuine Angora of any fabric that is
made today.
Coat-style sweaters of gray, green or drab, in a
medium weight that is not bulky under a coat, $25.
Sweaters of Shetland and Angora wool mixed,
with fancy fronts and plain backs nnd sleeves, $15.

A Man May Treat
Gloves Like Old Friends

dressed from top to toe will see to it that his gloves
add to, and do not detract from, his good appear

Second-grade goods, but then "seconds" are

draweis.
$1.75 for medium-weight natuial merino shirts

"This Looks Like a Place Where You
Can Get Some Quilts"
So said a man the other day as he looked around him in the Bed Clothing Store. He
said we had a much better variety than any he had yet seen and he had been looking in other
places. The more he extended his investigations, the more impressed he. seemed to be with
what we had to show him. He was especially pleased with the assortment of fine quilts in
the room devoted to those bed coverings.
"That," said he, "is the way I like to see these goods."
He told us something, of which we oursslves had an inkling, that the down-filled quilts
we are selling for ?12 and $15 are the most extraordinary goods of their kind in Philadelphia.
We understand that quilts of this class are sold in some places for one-third more. Those at
$12 are 2x2 yards and those at $15 are 2x2 1-3 yards.
He wanted something finer, and apparently he had a good eye for unusualness, because
he bought one of the down-filled quilts, covered in Japanese embroidered silk, at $30 and was
delighted with it. These are believed to be the best down-filled quilts at the price in Philadelphia.
It is encouraging when people of judgment think so highly of our goods.
