An Avalanche of New Books
Nowadays Is Sliding on Us Daily
perhaps a book is the best company we
mild have, for it quiets us, rests us and con
verses with us.
Ofher countries are far off, but a book
brings to us scenes, habits and discloses to us
nforniailOU Uiui uiujiiarcmig j-icupiu can
et.
The silent doors of a book open to us
nnVnlal countries and translate an unknown
language, giving us the joys and woes, hopes
and thoughts, ambitions, struggles and fail
ures and the differences of government in
contrast with our own.
Books are still dear and cannot be other
wise until there is more pulp to make paper
and its costs can be lowered; but the publish
ers and binders might meet the desire of the
public, which has for three years accepted
their high rates, but is now holding back,
expecting reductions.

of last Spring.
And the coats are as fine and attractive and desirable as any Spring ever
brought.
The lines are generally wider and fuller, the skirts good and roomy for a
comfortable, vigorous stride.
There is quite a variety of colors and patterns in gray and brown tweeds,
light and dark gray cheviots and other fancy mixtures, some of the materials
being rain proofed.

We Can Sell 3500 of These
Hand-Trunks
at $4.75 Each
This is a bort of sawed-off that it
steamer trunk in appearance
and it will last a lifetime.
It is 20 inches long, 16Vi
inches high and 9 inches thick,
made of heavy, indestructible
fiber nnd with tho locks, clasps
and corner buffers of n trunk.
It will hold much more than
the average suit ense, yet it
isn't too big to take U3 hund
luggagc. Its uses arc legion
as a week-end trunk, motor
case, hat box, salesman's
sample case and many other
things.
The material in these trunks
is worth more than $4.75, yet
you can get the whole outfit
for that price. The reason is
is an army officer's
field desk and filing cabinet,
but the demand for officers'
field equipment happily is
gone.
Last August wc sold 3000 of
these trunks at $1.25 more
than the price we can sell
them for today. The demand
for them was wonderful, nnd
wc disposed of practically all
there were in the Army ware
houses in this city and Balti
more. Now we have contracted for
tho supply at the New York
warehouse, and wc enn sell this
lot at the amazing price of
$4.75. It is the last lot avail
able, so if you want one you
had better not delay.
