held in different departments, xvhere
the officials nre getting together to
"tisidr the present pa.v of the groups

Some of the lenders feel confidence in

I There seems little doubt that there
xvill be an appeal to the Hailroad Labor
Board What will happen after the

Tho .tore of J. Franklin Miller, at 1612 Chestnut Street, is
known to Philudelphians as "the place to go when one is looking for
anything in the houbefumishing line."
THE woman who takeh pride in
the up-to-dateness of her
kitchen will be pleased to hear
that there is a sale of aluminum
waie now in progress at the store of
J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
Street. It is marked fully 50 'per
cent cheaper than I've ever seen
aluminum priced heretofore, so if
you need a new tea kettle, saucepan,
double boiler or any other utensil
you'll do well to buy it during this
sale. My out-of-town readers may
be glad to know that by sending a
request to J. Franklin Miller they
may obtain a list from which they
can select any needed article in the
housefurnishing line.
