. " IE MAV LH WITHOUT FRENDS, WE MAY LIVE WITHOUT BOOKS ;
BUT CIVILIZED MAN CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT COOKS."
The Great store engine of progress ; the pivot around which all merchandise movements swing, announces an exhibition, the like of which has never
been held outside of the World's Fair. Nothing to equal an event of this magnitude has ever been conceived in the mercantile world, and only is it possible
here, because of the great expanse of floor space in the Big Basement.
It Will Eclipse in Grandeur and Magnificence Any Event of Modern Times.
We propose that the city of Scranton shall be recognize as the leading city of industry and enterprise in this country, by holding a Grand Carnival of
Pure Foods. The opening of this stupendous event which has been a long time in preparation will positively take place on
Saturday
We want every man, woman and child within sound of this invitation to be present some time during this exhibit if not on Saturday, any day during
February, as the great carnival will last an entire month. Come every day, if you like you'll be heartily welcome.
EVERY MOMENT SFENT HERE WILL BE ONE OF EDUCATION AND PLEASURE.
You will see a score of experienced demonstrators showing how foods and relishes are made how best to prepare them and serve them. You will see
the greatest, most complete and best grocery store between New York and Chicago, with goods at prices which challenge comparison even in those cities.

SYMPHONY CLUB ECHOES.
Conlirmntlou ot n Scientific Theory.
Ilerr Hoch's fiflth Iliitlitlav.
About nil the two hundicd pel sons
who heard the Mozart Symphony club
"Wednesday evening1 did yesterday, was
to talk about the music. T-Ik, how
ever, falls far short of conveying nny
Idea commensuiato to ItH excellence.
All concede that Wednesday evening's
was the flne3t musical attraction with
which this city has ever been favored
and those who enjoyed it fi'el duly In
debted to the Cycle club for providing'
it.
This Symphony club stnnds a a con
firmation of the scientific Iheoiy le
cently advanced by an Umrllsh Inves
tigation, to the effect that lniiHlc ha u
very perceptible etfect cm the Ki'owth
of tho hair. He claims that the sound
vibrations from a violin or piano pio
Uuce nervous action wiy conducive to
a luxuriant crop of hair and that any
man may blow himself bald-headed In
Jive years ivith a trombone. All brass
instruments an$ death on hair. On
Ilerr Hoch's dome of musical thought
there is n decided clearing caused by
the cornet. Alpine echo and Koran
horns, while tho thre players of
stringed lnstiuments have hair to
spare. Sir. Ifoeh also plays a violin,
but it cannot counteiaet thu effect of
the fatal brass,
AVhllo In this cltv the talei.lcd and
funny German, Sir. Hoch, lel.ited a
laughable Incident concerning hlnself.
Three weeks ago he was llfty-slx
years old and In commemoration of
his coming- to "this great stage" the
other members of the companj gave
party at which Mr. Lund piwentcd
to him a ring of bologna; Miss Quinaer
a loaf of rye bread; Mr. Stoelzer a
keg of beer and Mr. Blodeck a limbur
ger choose.
