A Sale That Brings $200,000 Wort
Let the Chamber of Commerce
Form a Company
to buy Hog Island and make the port of
Philadelphia the biggest in the United States
in the building of ships and in the commerce
with the world.
What's the use of being content with the
regulating of streets when the movement of
the commerce of the world is in our hands if
we have the courage to do more than talk
about it?
Go to work and you can do a big thing
for Philadelphia.
Signed
September 10, 1920.

Uncle Sam's
Famous Army
Saddle Bags
Uncle Sam's saddle bags aro
the best in the world.
They aro mado of leather,
specially selected for durability
and excellence. They arc put
together with the care and
craftsmanship of the best
saddlery.
But, when the armistice came,
there were thousands and thou
sands of these on hnnd that
could never be used in the army,
so- they Wero disposed of at
really ridiculous prices.
We have just procured a few
hundred that a manufacturer
took and separated from their
saddle straps. On some of them
he put on handlcH to be carried
as handbags, on others, shoulder
straps to bo carried over the
shoulder. These bags are 13x13
inches, and hold nearly a half
bushel.
Let tho children have them as
school bags.
If you live in tho suburbs it
is just the thing to servo as a
mail bag on the station wagon,
or a tool bag or marketing bag.
They are good enough looking
to serve as shopping bags.
We will let them go for $5.50
apiece the leather in them is
worth more than that

One of the Most Notable of All
Phonographs Is the Cheney
Tho urge of a music master's
high ambition to aid his pupils
his dosiro thnt they should
hear correct interpretations of
tho masterpieces of music
brought forth the Cheney.
Forest Cheney, violinist nnd
teacher of music, built the re
producing instrument which
bears his name, solely for use
in his own studio.
He planned a phonograph em
bodying tho principles of acous
tics employed in the lesonating
chambers of pipe organs and a
resonator carved from a pat
torn of the violin he loved.
Masters of music wero so
quick to recognize the musical
merit of the Cheney that in n
very short time it was placed
on the market so all the world
could have and enjoy its perfect
reproductions.
Among thr exceptional fca
turesof the Cheney aie:
"THE ALL-WOOD ACOUS
TIC THROAT," which gives
control over tones nnd enhances
their beauty.
"THE CHENEY ORCHES
TRAL CHAMBERS." a scientific
method of controlling nnd de
veloping tones in perfect bal
ance. "THE VIOLIN RESONATOR.
OR AMPLIFIER." which, like
tho violin, improves with age.
"CORRECT METHOD OF
REPRODUCTION" for both
vertical and latcrnl cut records.
"TWELVE DISTINCT TONE
VOLUMES," mnde possible by
tho Cheney Needle Adjuster nnd
four sizes of needles.
"BREECH - LOADING DE
VICE FOR NEEDLES," greatly
simplifying tho process of needle-change.

in tho country, fashion the
