GlMBEL BROTHERS
MARKET CHESTNUT n EIGHTH NINTH
Been to the Circus? There really is no close ap
proach to this Rlngling-Barnum show, moving or,
103 railroad cars. Next biggest uses 28 cars. Tickets
at Gimbels nothing extra to pay.
Business, like a race horse, is restive at restraint.
Retail sales are greater than last year and will grow,
to everybody's good, as pessimists and retardists
loosen an almost strangle-hold.
