A Phenomenal Sale of Intensified
Values Presenting
A Limited Number of Suits
All wool All Perry-made All "N. B- T."
At the Uniform Clean-Up Price of
$30,00
IF wc had the courage of our convictions, we wouldn't write
one word more than is embraced in those headlines. For if
the bare, bald statement of suoh an extraordinary sale isn't x
enough, we frankly do not kndw what in the name of Ben Franklin
and Economy a man can want! We're talking only because we
can't help it.
Consider the' facts. Every suit all wool. Every yard of that
wool bought from the American Woolen Co., at the lowest prices
in three years. Every Suit Perry-made. All of them "N. B.T."
with hardly a solitary exception. Every garment a $40 or $45 value,
by current standards of costs for raw material, labor, and selling but
brought down to $30, by private economies in purchasing, tailoring,
and handling, minusdon't forget this minus any profit for us,
and therefore plus that additional saving for you. If you think that's
old stuff and we admit there's a lot of it pulled go over the facts
again and use your head. If conditions were absolutely normal if
prices had never gone up if these were just old times and this just
an old-fashioned Intensified Sale, such as we used to have years ago
this combination of all-wool "N. B. T." $40 and $45 grades, at $30,
would still be a headliner in the morning's news!

EXPLAINS DOCTOR'S TRIALS
Dr. W. W. Keen Addresses Congre
gation at St. James's Ohurch
Dr. XVi XV. Keen, famous surgeon,
who gave his country distinguished serv
ice in tho Civil War, the Spanish
American War nnd the recent world
war, praised tho self-sacrificing quali
ties of the modern doctor at a scrvlco
attended by many of 'Philadelphia's
leading physicians, nt 11 o'clock yes
terday morning. In St. James's Epis
copal Church, Twenty-second and Wal
nut streets.
The Rev. Dr. John Moekrlrfirc. rector
of St. James's, who introduced Dr.
Keen, cajled attention to the fact that
the church today commemorntes St.
Luke, "evnneelist and nhvslclan." nnd
suggested that the medical men of Phil
adelphia organize a Guild of St. Luke
anu conduct nn annual service for the
American Guild of St. Luke the Phy
sician. -
Dr. Keen said there "was no doubt
that tho nation nnd the world were less
religious thau they were six years ago.
"Tho observance of Sunday undoubt
edly has diminished very much in recent
years, which is partly due to the war
nnd partly to the automobile," Dr.
Keen told the doctors nnd churchmen.
"Sickness nnd Sntan know no Sun
days. Persons become slrk on Sunday,
and the doctor must attend them. But
wc must remember there are two classes
of cases those that must be attended
to immediately and those that can wait.
We doctors sometimes make the mis
take of performing an operation on
Sunday that could be performed on Sat
urday or Monday."
