Id toll of male labor the newApapern and
Brtlnes have been full of accounts of
women who were filling men's places and
folnr men's work so satisfactorily that
It ts doubtful If the male contingent

intruded the telegraph operator to "flit

"All rleht." came tho word from tha

But when the "few days" stretched

Other matters of Importance came up
Immediately afterward and It was n

how "A. Kosta" was getting along. To

Special Groups at a Third to a Half Less
THAT is often heard, especially when people have just come in from tho heat and the glare
of the street. It is a relief to find such a place in the midst of a hot Summer city.
Fresh air is being pumped in all the time and not alone fresh air, but coo, washed
air! The air is sent through sprays of cold water, both to cool and clean it, so that when it
comes into the Downstairs Store it is fresh and sweet like evening breezes after a shower.
To complete the system of ventilation, the warm, used air is being drawn out all the
time. Thus the air in the Down Stairs Store is being constantly changed and is much frcshor
and cooler than that in the average home.
Many people from West Philadelphia and the outlying suburbs come in on the
ie
Elevated trains to 13th street, get out at this subway station, take tho few steps into tho
Down Stairs Store, do their shopping and go home tho same way. Therefore, they are nover
once up on the hot streets and their shopping is done with economy of time, energy and
money.
