NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS."

THE WHOLE CITY WILL BE INTERESTED. The Birthday of this Store is more to the City of Scranton and its people than any other event
on the Mercantile Calendar of its existence. It marks not only the beginning of the new and greater business life of this city in which this store has
triumphantly led the way, but it stands for the two other facts: ONE That the prosperity of this Big Store has assisted the general prosperity in this
city, and, SECONDLY That the part this store is to Scranton is but a magnificent specimen of the people's enterprise and progressiveness. So on
This Day We Celebrate, the City Celebrates with us. And for This Grand Occasion We nave Prepared a Feast in Merchandising.
that will make this the most remarkable Holiday event in the history of the city. Tuesday evening and Wednesday's papers will tell you
about it. THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO BE PRESENT.
