An Old Signed Copy,
Printed in 1808, of
Washington's Farewell
Address
for the Washington Benevolent
.Society of New York, with the
engraved portrait hejre repro
duced, gives us a face good to
look at, and something worth
while -to read at this serious
time in the history of our proud
and somewhat disturbed
country.
George Washington, the first Presi
dent of the United States, wrote to
the United States September 17, 1796,
in his farewell letter, the following
paragraphs :
"The unity of govern
ment.which constitutes you
one people, is also now dear
to you. It is justly so; for
it is a main pillar in the
edifice of your real inde
pendence; the support of
your tranquillity at home;
your peace abroad ; of your
safety, of your prosperity;
of that very liberty which
you so highly prize. But as
it is easy to foresee, that
.from different causes "and
from different quarters,
much pains will be taken,
many artifices employed, to
weaken in your minds the
conviction of this truth ; as
this is the point in your
political fortress against
which the batteries of in
ternal and external enemies
will be most constantly and
actively (though often cov
ertly and insidiously) di-

in the principles and value of the legacies of patriotism and wisdom that
Washington, Franklin and Jefferson left to us, proclaim and defend them
with all our might and main.

No Matter How
Scarce Good
Furniture May
Be in Most
Places It Is
Plentiful Here
New lots are coming in all
the time practically every
day. We understand that
this is a most remarkable
thing just now.
At least it is something to
bo taken note of by every
one who needs' new furni
ture, whether it be new dining-room
furniture to make
the Thanksgiving celebra
tion more elaborate or new
pieces to give the living
room, a more impressive
tone, or a new suit to make
a bedroom more charming.
In any case you will find
these stocks adequatejn se
lection. More than eighty-five dining-room
suits are shown on
the Sixth Floor, no two of
them alike, and with one to
eight of a kind behind them.
These suits are priced at
$250 to $2380 and embrace
all the standard period de
signs. At least 150 different bed
roomroom suits are shown
on the same floor at $155 to
$3000 and back of them
one to ten of a kind.
The collection of living
room, library and occasional
furniture on the Fifth Floor
is known to be unique in
this country if not in the
world. It expresses luxury
and elegance. It is rich in
the more graceful old types
chiefly reproductions of
rare heirloom pieces.
Jt is practical in the
splendid assortment of serv
iceable good-looking things
shown, notably chairs and
rockers upholstered and
otherwise.
It seems to be generally
understood that by far the
finest selection of furniture
of all desirable kinds is al
ways to be found here. It is
important to keep that fact
in mind more than ever
just now when there is such
a real and general scarcity
in so many places.

day, but bright, young Philadelphia boys will

When the makers planned this year's coats they seemed to keep in

Of course, there are plenty of soft -wool chinchillas, and then fine
broadcloths for better wear, as well as plain and silvertone velours and

enough to take their little wearers to tho Pole. There are light and
