No Good Intention Can Be
Actually Lost
Life is often for long: stretches along
shores of shifting sands, and it is not easy to
keep one's feet and make headway,
The star of good intentions may be
hidden now and then with clouds, but
suddenly it reveals itself without our looking
for it, and we are prompted to take up our
deferred work; and more thinking suggests
another plan, and new courage comes along
and we move forward into more lights
remembering that far back in the years we
resolved not to turn back or stand still when
on a straight road.
The climax of success will surely arrive
if we keep life's foundations right.
The biographies of the old merchants of
New York and Philadelphia certify to this.

If You Have Been Wishing
! for a Fine Suit of Furniture
Now Is Your Opportunity
It is the opportunity of years, because it certainly
is years since such a beautiful choice of dining-room,
bedroom and library suits have been offered in Phila
delphia at 30 to 40 per cent less than their standard
prices. What it means to save so' much on furniture
of our kind the people understand very well. The
last few days in the Furniture Store have been very
like days -in February or August.
We are ready for more days of the same kind.
The choice of complete suits is still large. Their
quality is of the finest kind and their style true to
period. Their prices are 30 to 40 per cent less than
the former figures. We have a number of very good
individual pieces, mostly at half price, but they are
going so fast we cannot print a list of them.
The advantage is all for people who come in at
once.
