Keeping Up
The Man on the Ship Who
Watches the Winds and
the Waves
and who is ever changing his course at every
turn of the winds and conditions and depths of
the sea, obtained by the soundings,
Is Known as the
Pilot
Who Weathers the Storms
Life is a voyage on an ever-changing sea,
requiring tacking and standing still and
changing speed, making circuits to avoid rocks
and derelicts as -marked upon the sailing charts.
These duties belong to a Pilot of knowledge and
skill.
In these daysa statesman requires a Pilot in
the questions of the hour. Pitt, the darling
statesman of Great Britain, was once in its
Parliament accosted ,by Canning as
The Pilot Who Weathered the Storm
Whose name comes into your mind as the
most likely to be the Pilot to guide the Ship of
State to its destined part and port for the benefit
of the whole world?

It is still the one great vital movement in American retail business and it
is proving a mighty influence for good all over the country.
We are as free to end it as we were to begin it, but for the present it goes on.
It goes on with advantage to everybody who needs anything, for the home
'or person.
It places at your disposal our entire stocks (with only a few minor excep

You can choose practically anything and pay one-fifth less than the regular
price marked on it.
