This store is full of it! The
pleasures of anticipation and getting
ready are best of all! We do our best
to make this store seem at least a store
during this busy month. Beauty
everywhere! And new beauty each
day. . No wonder all Scranton claims
an interest in "THE ECONOMY."

who conic here were made to lit

to fit them, and thi-y go away so
contented. Everyone doesn't yet
realize what perfection ready-made
clothes has attained and then, too,
you have the privilege of our "Pay
a little at a time system."
