This Page Is Not a Stained
Glass Painted Window
such as you are unable to sec through from'
outdoors.
This' is only a clear, clean, white glass
window, by which you may see some of the things
that are going on in a warehouse built for the
purpose of providing at all times the freshest and
the newest of fashions and fabric's as they appear
and arrive.
Our travelers" know that it is their duty to be
posted on everything that artisans and manufac
turers have in hand, and to get it as soon as
linished to display upon our aisles.
There would be no reason for this Store's
existence If we could not be the first to show the
new things.
The people expect it of us.
We shall notdisappoint them.

Greatest Toy Store Tomorrow
A SAILOR and the WEATHER MAN can some
times tell you what the weather is going to be like ; and
a WISE OLD FARMER can tell you whether the,
WHEAT CROP is going to be good or bad.
But it takes a little child to tell you whether a
Christmas is going to be a GOOD CHRISTMAS.
That is why we are so anxious about tomorrow,
when we open up the GREAT, MONSTROUS TOY
STORE.
We know, of course, that it is half as large again
as it was last year or as it ever was before.
And we know, of course, that the CHRISTMAS
SHIPS and the CHRISTMAS TRAINS have come in
safely, and that the shiploads of toys and the train
loads of toys are here and that they are wonderful, and
that they are just what the children want mdst.
But not until we see whether the children smile
and laugh and shout can we tell whether itis going
to be a good Christmas
who want to know what this GREAT 1919 CHRIST
MAS is going to be like to come in with their children
and see for themselves.
Of course, nobody ever can tell.
The children MIGHT even turn their backs on
OLD KING COLE, that Merry Old Soul, up there in
the little curtained-off music loft, with his FIDDLERS
THREE all playing for dear life right in the middle
of the FAIRYLAND.
That is, they MIGHT, of course; but let us see
if they don't laugh instead.
And, then, of course, they might not care a cent j
for ALI BABA and his FORTY THIEVES all poking ,
their heads up and down in the necks of the tremen
dous big jars where they were shut up in the
ARABIAN NIGHTS book!
And they might even be not interested in all the ,'
rest of the great thousands-of-years-ago Arabian '
Nights' entertaining that goes on and on while the
MAGIC WAY that ever was, where you can't see them
i or even guess where they are. all over the whole block
long Store.
But then again, you never, never can tell. It
MIGHT be that the Fairyland, with its beautiful pleas
ures, will really be ALL RIGHT; and it may be that
the ARABIAN NIGHTS, with ALI BABA and his for
midable band, will be just as wonderful to see as they
were to read about; and it may be that not a one of
them can ever help laughing at OLD KING COLE, any
more than at his FIDDLERS THREE.
And as to the TOYS, which are the main thing
after the children, of course
Well, Sir this is a Christmas of GOOD TOYS!
There have been improvements and hundreds of new
inventions such things as you never saw before
that we found in ENGLAND, and FRANCE, and
JAPAN and in the GREAT NEW TOY FACTORIES
OF AMERICA. They are really so many as to be past
mas without little children laughing for joy.
And so this is to ask all the mothers and fathers
