IT was a happy, appreciative crowd that welcomed
Philadelphia's first United Candy Stere from the
moment our doers opened Saturday morning. It
was a royal welcome te "Happiness" given by
people who knew geed candies, who appreciate deft
service and attractiveappeintments. -v.
We heard nothing but kind words, especially
about the candy. This was particularly gratifying, for
in the end, it's the candy that counts. We knew this.
We knew that the store may be ever se attractive, the
service ever se geed, but the candy must be right right
in Quality right in Price if we are te continue te
grew in the esteem of the people of this city.
We Hepe Te Make This Entire Week
As Memorable As Our Opening Day
United Policy
Fine Candy is very delicate and sensitive. Its original
freshness and purity can best be preserved by being packed
and sealed at the Candy Makers' tables. Therefore we have
adopted the following policy in the conduct of our business:
AD candies are made in our own
chocolate factories and candy kitchens
of the purest materials obtainable.
They are sealed, crispy fresh, at
the Candy Makers' tables in dust
proof containers.
Our home-made candies are pro
duced in our Philadelphia Sunlight
Candy Kitchens and delivered fresh
every few hours te our store.
Ail candies are sold in original un
broken boxes and in "10-cent bags"
se that they reach our customers
without exposure or useless handling.
They are net handled by our sales
people, but come ready wrapped for
immediate delivery.
Open sample packages are shown
in closed glass cases for your ready
selection.
This system makes for quick,
clean service.
It makes for the highest possible
quality the primary consideration in
candy selection.
It makes for economy in operation,
and therefore low prices te the consumer.

HAROLD MacGRATH
(Famous American Auther)
SAYS
November the ninth,
MR. D. W. GRIFFITH. ' 9 2
New Yerk City.
My dear Mr. Griffith:
I have seen "Way Down East." Yeu have produced
another maaterp.ece. Never have I 8een a motion picture
that ran the gamut of human emotions se simple and
humanly. Iman old hand, as they say. but nowhere
could I pick a flaw ui this new creation of yours. Frem
beginning te end 1 was conscious of nothing but the story.
V j my9c" 8mlng one moment, choked the next,
thnlled, angered, satisfied. Yeu have divested the play
of its melodrama and produced life se real that one for
gets it is a picture.
Yeu might very well call it Conscience. As a Sun
day picture it is better than a sermon. It m a vision.
Parents ought te see it. Gessipa aheuld aee it. Yeung
girls should see it: the will learn by it te take leas for
granted. And many a man will realize the dreadful
results of carelessly inflicting life upon innocent children.
Your villain is real: he is everywhere, in small towns and
in big. And in the end he gees free because tha't is the
way of life.
ThC ce-break scene is tremendous. The cast is excel
lent. Nene of them appears te be acting, but living. Miss
Gish is a great actress. One moment she stuffs your
threat with laughter, the next with tears.
All in all, there is no doubt in my mind that "Way
Down East" is the greatest motion picture yet produced.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) HAROLD MacGRATH.
