The
No Man or Woman Is Ever
Finished With Learning
r" Sir Isaac Newton, the great student of na'ture
and philosopher, who discovered gravitation by the
fall of an apple, said of himself, n his after life,
that he felt himself to be a child' on theseashore,
learning from the shells and pebbles, arid that the
great ocean of Nature's facts was still lying before
him waiting to be discovered. t .
Stop and think of the wondrous inventions m
the successful enginery of the air and the thousand
little things like air guns, telephones, improved
typewriters, kitchen and housekeeping utensils and
the Edison discoveries in the application of
electricity what will the next six thousand years
produce?
This store is stiH a wonder to some of the people
in it& bigness and completeness to visitors who come
every day.
