What Are You Going to Do About the Opportunities
What Can We Do to Help
Yoti Today?
is an expression used almost every day by some
kind friend to another.
Even more it is not uncommon for the
banker, the merchant, the insurance agent, the
lawyer and doctor and the seller of merchandise
to greet you with the same speech.
The feeling back of the words is a sincere
desire, in nine cases out of ten, to honestly
show friendliness.
I seems such a little thing to say, does it
not?
Yet, after all, upon the little things we do
and say to each other every day and night, hang
the pictures on the walls of memory that
brighten the corners where we are.
Think it over, that not less, ut more, shall
be done at home and wherever we work to help
each fcther.

pOMORROW and two days Monday and
Tuesday of next week and the August
Furniture Sale of 1920 will be at an end.
Tomorrow and two more days to choose
from what is known to be the largest stock of
highest grade furniture in America at August
Sale prices.
Tomorrow and two more days filled with
such opportunities as cannot come again in
some time.
What, then, are you going to do?
Whether you ought to buy anything at
half price or a third off or ten per cent off
depends upon the quality and desirableness of
the thing offered and upon your need of it.
You can speak for your need of new
furniture.
We can speak for the quality and desir
ableness of the furniture we have to sell at
reduced prices these last three days of the
August Sale. ,
We can tell you that it is" furniture of
standard value at the regular price ; that there
was no furniture in America 'better than it at
the regular price, and that, taken suit by suit
and piece by piece, there is no assortment of
furniture to be found anywhere in this locality
that compares with it.
The Fine Choice at One-Third
to One-Half Less
So far as economy is concerned, these last
are days pi golden advantage.
Not only can you choose any suit or piece
of furniture in our whole stock at 10 to 50 per
cent less than regular, but you can choose
from a fine collection of individual suits and
pieces for all rooms and requirements at
reductions of one-third to one-half.

excuso for pleats or undarsklrts of black satin.

The Best Chinese
Pongees for $2
and $3 a Yard
We have been trying for some
time to find their equals at these
prices, but so far without success.
One reason.is thnt wo buy these
silks nt the place they arc made,
in China itself, and nre our own
importers.
The lighter weight is a Shan
tung pongee, 33 inches wide. $2
a yard, and is very much liked
for women's dresses, wnists, petti
coats, negligees nnd children's
clothes. Also for men's shirts
and pnjamas.
Tho henvior weight Is a NInghal
pongee, 33 Inches wide, and is
especially nice for tailoring pur
poses women's and men's suits,
coats and riding breeches.
Of course, both pongees nre
noted for their excellent washing
and wearing qualities.

ago that a certain factory had
a storeroom full of an article

a liability. It was an army
officer's field desk and filing
cabinot and the demand for
It was gone.
Now an officer's field desk
and filing cabinot is not what
you may think it is. In reality
it is a very strong, square
case, built like a trunk, that
opens in tho middle. The
wooden desk compartmonts
and the filing cabinet can be
romoved in a few seconds and
there you have a 20x16 Vi inch
traveling case, 9 inches deep,
that will last a lifetime.
The case is made' of trunk
fiber, metal bound, with heavy
metal corners, heavy catches.
and strong lock. You could
check it from one end of
the world to tho other. For
motorists or other tourists, for
sportsmen, for women to uso
as hat boxes for a dozen
uses it is a wonder, because of
its great strength and its
nmnzing low price.
