He cannot safely do stargazing at the same time. Fractured limbs and serious downfalls may occur at any time by careless walking. Falls on the staircases of the elevated and railway stations arc frequent. Two persons meet on the steps, stop to talk, and one forgets he is on the stairs and makes a misstep that bruises and hurts for days. Accidents may take place even in one's own home with any one when the mind is preoccupied by wide unbroken level floors by dazzling light by careless operation of elevators We are doing all that is humanly possible to make this Store the safest of buildings to go about in. The out-of-town people spend whole days here using our comfort rooms and .enjoying the organ recitals. Signed Dec. 27, 1019. QMfpmofo.
