What William Penn Paid the
Indians for the Land' He Pur
chased in What Is Now the
State of Pennsylvania
On this two hundred and seventy-sixth
anniversary of the birthday of the man who
founded Philadelphia and the State of
Pennsylvania, it is interesting to note what
William Penn paid to the aborigines for the
land upon which this city now stands.
THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH, That
we, Packanah, Jackhan, Sickals, Partquesott,
Jervis, Essepank, Felktroy, Hekellappan Econus,
Machloha Mettheonge, Wissa Powey, Indian
Kings, Sachemakers, right owners of all lands,
from' Quing Quingus, called Duck Creek, unto
Upland, called Chester Creek, all along the west
side of the Delaware River, and so between the
said creeks backwards as far as aman can ride
in two days with a horse, for and in considera
tion of these following goods to us in hand paid,
and secured to be paid by William Penn, Pro
prietor and Governor of the Province of Penn
sylvania, and territories thereof, viz., twenty
guns, twenty fathoms matchcoat, twenty
fathoms strong water, twenty blankets, twenty
kettles, twenty pounds of powder, one hundred .
bars of lead, forty tomahawks, one hundred
knives, forty pair of stockings, one barrel of
beer, twenty pounds red lead, one hundred
fathoms of wampum, thirty glass bottles,
thirty pewter spoons, one hundred owl blades,
three hundred tobacco pipes, one hundred hands
of tobacco, twenty tobacco tongs, twenty steels,
three hundred flints, thirty pair of scissors,
thirty combs, sixty looking-glasses, two hun
dred needles,Aone skipple of salt, thirty pounds
of sugar, five gallons of molasses, twenty to
bacco boxes, one hundred jews-harps, twenty
hoes, thirty gimlets, thirty wooden screw boxes,
one hundred strings of beads, do hereby ac
knowledge, etc." Given under our hands, etc., at
New Castle, second day of the eighth month,
1685.
The above is a true copy from a copy taken - (
from the original by Ephraim Morton, now liv
ing in Washington County, Pennsylvania, for
merly a clerk in the land office, which copy he ,
gave to Mr. Hutton, and from which the above
was taken in Little York, this seventh of De
cember, 1818.
Evidently Father Penn controlled more
than two hundred years ago a business
establishment with a large assortment of
merchandise on hand.
How surprised he would be if instead of
standing on the top of City Hall he should take
a few steps along Market and Juniper and
Chestnut and Thirteenth, and come inside and
take one of our. hydraulic elevators and step oif
on each floor and see the quantity of
merchandise that covers the forty-five acres of
floors and galleries under this one roof!

Men's Clothing Fashions for
the Coming Season
Fashions in men's suits and over
coats are just a little finer, we think,
than they have ever been before.
There is a dignity about their lines
this year with a lessened tendency
toward the extreme features d the
past.
Fabrics are back to, pre-war qual
ity and patterns are as rich and beau
tiful as we have ever shown in men's
clothing.
The new Winter overcoats are in
rough and smooth woolens in browns,
grays, greens and heather mixtures,
and they are striking in their combi
nations. The coate are in single and double
breasted box lines and in double
breasted town and country ulster
models. Some have new treatments
in sleeves or belts. All have belted backs, some with the belts all around.
In 'the medium-weight rain-proofed coats, 48 inches long, are brown and
gray tweeds in light shades.
Here is a summary of the price ranges in suits and overcoats for men and
young men:
' Suits, $40 to $90.
Fall overcoats, $45 to $75.
Winter overcoats, $47 to $90.
Raincoats, $30 to $60.

$3, Two Meals and a Motor Ride
to Do the Family Wash
A daily paper recently published a story from one of its out-of-town
correspondents to the effect that because of the exorbitant de
mands of laundresses in his town there has been a big demand for both
hand and electric washing machines. '
The Easy Electric Vacuum Washer
will woik quicker and better than any washer woman and at the present
cost of labor it will not be very long before it pays for itself.
It is different from cery other washing machine because it operates
on the suction principle. Two vacuum cups inside the tub move up and
down soxty tinie3 a minute forcing the soapy water through the mesh of
the garments and the suction carries out any foreign substance or
diit. It doesn't in the least injure the daintiest fabrics.
The Easy Vacuum electric washer may be bought for $160 for the
zinc or $175 for the copper type.

told."
There is an old saying to the effect t hat "a true tale speeds best being plainly
We might tell the story of this wonderful lot of Saruk carpets in a less direct
and commercial way, in a way more in harmony with their beauty and charm, but we
could not tell it in a truer way.
Everybody who knows anting of Oriental rugs knows that Saruks are among
the most superb weaves produced in that country.
And everybody who knows anything of the value of Saruk rugs in the market
today isjjound to be interested by the list of Saruk pieces and their prices printed here.
It is probably safe to say that they are the lowest-priced lot of fine rugs in America
and that in at least five years there have b een no such rugs offered anywhere in this
country at the prices.
