This Great City Should Not
Forget Stephen Girard
The Merchant, Mariner and Banker,
Whose Birthday Was Yesterday
One hundred and seventy-one years ajro he
was born in Bordeaux,
three-Story Dricit nuuse oi mc rimueiimiu
atyle, and of yhich he afterward built rows in
this city, setting a pattern followed in ,our
early days.
Queer in many ways, he saw with his one
eye (the other lost at a bonfire where the
fragment of an oyster-knell destroyed' the sight
of his right eye) a great future for the Quaker
- City, and directed the monument of the Girard
College and a plan for its use which, under Dr.
Cheesman A. Herrick, is an honor to the city
and a blessing to its young citizenship.
His probity and far vision in business
matters as a merchant have never been
surpassed in the nearly two centuries that have
passed since his birth.
The men who have made Philadelphia
must be remembered for the examples they set
for us.

Chinese Rugs That Furnish
Well and Serve
One of the admirable things about Chinese rugs is a certain artistic inde
pendence. There is no apparent effort to follow or imitate some other ideas of
design and coloring. They almost seem to say "we are ourselves, our colors, vivid '
or subdued, our designs, grotesque, barbaric or otherwise, are our own."
This is bound to give them an individual quality and a furnishing effect of
a very distinctive kind. No wonder the furnishing value and excellent service
qualities of Chinese rugs are meeting with increasing appreciation. The best
types in the market are here at distinctly moderate prices.
If you are looking for a fine rug, a rug that is handsome, impressive and
practical, you should see this selection of Chinese weaves.
