Today he Issued this statement :
"If the people could see hew large

they would understand thte huge tnsk
which confronts Director Gnven, of the
Department of Public Works, notwith

"We have net hnd time, seeing hew
many difficulties are in the way of ef
fecting this new orgnnlzntlen, te tnke

resentatives about te see what is being
done, but It would be highly cducatlennl
nnd inspirational, I think, if we could

"The Director lias recently purchased
500 horses, splendid specimens of the
Perchorea and Nerman breedf. Je a J
dltlen he has purchased by competition
some of the geed horses of the old con
tractors, nnd he will be obliged te pur

purchases of wagons nnd ether equip

MANY, MANY MONTHS age this Super

nite form in our plans for this Fall and
Winter.
It was carefully planned with but one
objective
te get clothing prices back te nor

customers (present and te be)
values extraordinary that would
make them "sit up and take
notice."

And when it comes te making fine over ever over

whole world. J. & J. Crombie of Edinburgh
make the famous Crombie overceatings.
They don't sell te everybody in fact, only
a few stores have their goods, and we are
fortunate enough te have the largest assort
ment in Philadelphia. Our Super-Value
prices are unmatchable. Crombie Montag Mentag
