"Thou Too, Sail Oa,0 Ship of ,
State ! Sail On, O Union,
Strong and Great!"
These lines of Longfellow's pocht in the "Building
of the Ship" are worthy of timely mention at this
momentous moment of the nation's history. Read the
whole poem closing with: '
"Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our teurs,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears," etc.
and let young Americans learn the poem by heart that
i( may be often repeated in their gatherings.
"It has va wonderful spirit in it to stir all who
hcai' it," so said one of our greatest statesmen, whpsc
face was wet with tears when he heard it recited for
the first time. '. '
Let us do everything - to cultivate greater .
Americanism.

"Why Is" Summer
Furniture?
s1
UMMBR - f urnitui-e
holds an interest
and a charm no
other furniture pos
sesses. Summer furniture's
appeal is varied ib may
be the primitive appeal
of the rustic cedar, the
homely charm of hickory,
or the more elegant air
of willow in its many
' forms and firiishes.
Whatever the point of
interest, it. is always
cheerful, oftentimes
thrilling it seems to
touch a primal chord in
one's being and to go
back to the time wjien
man was first put in a
garden.
Summer furniture,
even in its most -sophisticated
-form of willow or
reed for breakfast rooms
or verandas, has still
something about it that
speaks of fair, green
lawns and garden bowers
and other delights of
Nature that only, the
glorious Summer can
unfold for our enjoy
ment. Summer furniture is
shown here in abundance,
in large variety and with
simplicity.
You will see' Willow
and 'Reed in an unusual
salection of colors and
finishes, Including the
natural. With cretonne
upholsteries in vartous
colorings, any number of
piquant effects are pos
sible. Chinese grass furni
ture is pliant, serviceable
and of grayish green.
Hickory who doesn't
know how serviceable it
is?
Cedar pieces, un
barked and constructed
on truly rustic lines, are
shown in amplitude.

An Important Point in Buying a
Vacuum Cleaner
The electric vacuum cleaner you buy here is NEW.
That iriay seem a commonplace unless you know that many stores make a prac
tjee of sending vacuum cleaners out on trial and afterwards "v -"-heao amonjf new
cleaners.
You do ncM run the risk of unconsciously buying such a second-hand cleaner
here, because we' uo not follow that practice. Every vacuum cleaner we sell is a brand
new machine that has never been used before. j
Ask our expert to demonstrate the different points of merit of the five splentlid
electric vacuum cleaners we sell the King, .$45; the Cadillac Special, .$50; the Royal,
$55; the Superb Junior. $57.50; and the Superb, $70. They cover every need from
the(small apartment to the large house. '
We believe them to be the best electric vacuum cleaners on the market. And
household experts confirm our belief.
