Things which have made for the success of the Chestnut Street
Shops are the individual pride which each ttf the Chestnut street mer
chants takes in his own store and the co-orjeration of these same mer
chants expressed in such an organization as the Chestnut Street Asso
ciation. These things are of direct benefit to the patrons of these
stores, for interchange of ideas, which is fostered by the association,
seconded by the laudable pride of each merchant in his own establish
ment, insuies to the customer not only the best in quality of goods, but
the most efficient service that it is possible for salesmen to give.
YOU'VE heard, of course, that
tho stationery department at
the store of Bailey, Banks &
Biddle Company has been greatly en
larged and now occupies a position
of prominence in the center of the
store. Philadelpjiians can well be
pioud of the distinction which such
an establishment as this lends to
their citv, for very many of the invi
tations to the most important social
functions in the United States bear
the name of Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Company on their envelopes. For
invitations to dinners, dances', wed
dings, etc., you can make no better
choice than Bailey. Banks & Biddle
Company's stationery, for then you
will be certain of having tho most
correct and anoroved stye of en
graving, as well as the finest quality
of paper two very important con
siderations. THERE is something delightfully
refreshintr about luncheon as
,0. ,?G17,ecL,at. tho Chel' restaurants,
l24 faouth Thirteenth street and 132
South Fifteenth street. First of all
there is the food, so attractive and
daintily prepared. Cheri salads, for
instance, are iust about the most
tempting and delicious salads that it
s possible to find anywhere. Then
there is the matter of service, which
is most important. Tt is most annoy
ing to have your waitress servo vour
neas without a fork, especially when
vour course in etiquette has pre
cluded the use of any other imnle
ment but this is something which
seems never to happen at he Cheri
restaurants. And more than that,
the service is quick, and this means

KOO DELIGHTFULLY differ
q ent" is a characterization
, which I've heard applied to
IJe gift-baskets of fruit from the
store of Henry R. Hallowell & Son,
wcad street below Chestnut. The
baskets are hand-painted, and their
WjE.it dashes of color combine most
effectively with the colors of the
fruits. They are filled with the most
luscious fruits now in season beau
tiful clusters of Spanish Almeria
grapes, Tangerines, large, fine
iiavored Pears and great clusters of
woso immense black Hothouse
wapes from Belgium. They contain
also small glasses of jelly which are
so much appieciated by invalids.
e- ;li:t-bskets of fruit appeal
especially to invalids, for they are so
ery attractive and so tempting that
iey are capable of winning over
en the most jaded of appetites.
