Take Your Disappointments
as Stimulants
"Live blameless" is inscribed over the portal
of a Swedish house.
George Washington once said "to persevere
is one's duty, and to be silent is the best answer
to calumny."
Sometimes not to speak ill requires silence
only. A friend of the writer had a rule to drop
a subject when others did not agree with him. It
is not necessary to be cross or bitter just because
we are sure we are right.
It is the daily effort of every one employed
in this big mart of trade to, not even by chance,
allow any one to go out of our doors feeling sorry
that he came in.
It is only by well doing that we hope to
climb up.

Save $30 to $1300 on Some
Fine Pianos and Player-Pianos
We no longer hold stated sales of pianos. The demand for instru
ments is so great that there is never a sufficient accumulation to make
a large sale.
But we have several score of excellent pianos and player - pianos
on which prices have been lowered for two reasons:
One reason is that part of them are used instruments which have
been returned from rental.
The other reason is that the rest of them are new pianos which
have been used as floor samples or in which still newer models show
changes in case design. (
All have been put in first-class condition, and any one of them is a
wonderful value at its lowered price.
Except for a handful of used upright pianos, which are priced any
where from $100 to $325, these instruments are our own famous pianos.
Among them are the Chickering, Schomacker, Emerson, Haines
Bros., Marshall and Wendell, Lindeman, J. C. Campbell and the cele
brated Knabe.
There are upright and grand pianos and player-pianos, and prices
range from $450 for a Lindeman upright to $1200 for a Knabe concert
grand. Savings range from $30 to $1300.
One of the best piano opportunities in a long time.

Winter Sale of Men's Wear
Thousands of shirts and neckties
at prices you will not see again for
some time to come.
What the future prices for the ma
terials and labor that go into men's
shirts and neckties will be, it is im
possible for any one to say. They m ay
come down after a few years, but it
is unlikely for a long time. They may
never come down.
Certainly this is the time to buy
and lay aside, so far as you can, even
at present regular prices.
This is a great opportunity for men to come in tomorrow and get good,
sound, seasonable shirts and neckties at prices one-third to one-half below
normal'.
The collection is by no means as large as we would like to have it. It
includes:
3600 men's woven madras shirts with soft cuffs, plain neglige style, at
$2.15 each.
1200 men's finer madras and percale shirts taken out of our own stocks
and reduced to $2.15 each.
900 men's extra-fine woven madras shirts, some taken out of our own
stocks and reduced to $3 each.
3600 men's brand-new, extra-fine four-in-hand silk neckties, a third to a
half less at $1 each.
Add to these a few dozen pull-over-the-head sweaters at $6 and a dozen
or so of fine bathrobes reduced to $6.
Ready in the Men's Wear Store tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, and
likely to go very rapidly.

A Fine, Fresh Importation of Japanese
Jute Rugs and Runners
Japanese jute rugs have come into great favor in the past few years. In coloring and de
sign they are most attractive, they are soft and thick to walk upon and they wear well,
Finally, and most important, they arc inexpensive.
We have just received a large shipment of these rugs in the new patterns for the
coming season. They wer.e bought bjr our representative in Japan, and bought to great
advantage, as their prices show. As far as we know, they are the only sizable group of
Japanese jute rugs in Philadelphia and the only fresh ones.
Some have plain centers with band borders and in others the designs have been cut
out by hand, giving the effect of raised figures.

fact they arc considered one of the
very best American clocks made
today.
Wo have many styles of Chelsea
clocks in the Clock Store. All, how
ever, are tho eight-day kind, and
some strike the hour and half hour;
others are ship's bell clock.-. They
