Spring Suits in a Charm
ing Array of Styles.
There are so many styles of spring garments that
to mention any one in particular would be casting a
slight on all the others equally desirable. Those who
fashion the styles have taken wondrous liberties so
that every individual fancy can be met and gratified.
If any one particular collection stands out in stellar
array it is the
Tailor Made Suits at $25
of which we show a wonderful variety, with scarcely
any two alike. We have built carefully around this
$25 price and have reason to be proud of the result.
The Merry Widow Sailors.
When the "Merry Widow" first waltzed into pop
ular favor last fall, makers of millinery, looking for
something new to advertise, struck the idea of a large
broad brimmed sailor, and immediately dubbed it the
"Merry Widow." We have sold hundreds of them
already, and they are indeed fetching and pretty.
Besides the price is modest $5 buys your pick from
a lot of over fifty.
Excellent Values in Waists and
Petticoats.
Dozens and dozens of new styles in .Waists are
ready for you this April week. We do not believe
many large city stores have a more comprehensive
showing. Certainly there are no better styles to be
had in any city, and the major portion of them have
no duplicates in Venango county. But while this ex
clusiveness enhances their value to you, it does not
add to the cost of them ; for they are remarkably low
priced.

THE FORTY BEACHES OF NEW JERSEY.
The ODe hundred and twenty-five odd miles along the New
Jersey coast line from Long Branch to Cape May presents the
greatest pleasuring section in the United States.
Upon the bluff of the northern end and the gently shelving
sands of the southern end are located forty resorts which entertain
during the spring and summer season millions of pleasure seekers.
At no time in the year is this section more delightful than
during the spring and early summer months. One who has not
seen them at this season would marvel at their delights. The
great pine belt, which extends through the center nf New Jersey,
fills the air with life-giving ozone, which combined with the salty
tang of the sea aud the open air exercise possible at all times, is
exhilarating and tonic to the highest degree.
Long Branch, with its beautiful cottage-neighbors, West End,
Hollywood, aod Elberou; Deal and Alleohurst, largely devoted to
cottage life; Ashury Park and Ocean Grove, attracting thousands
yearly; Avon, Belmar, Como, Spring Lske, aod Sea girt, are a
galaxy of attractive places upon the bluffs where "the country
meets the sea."
Then the Barnegat Bay section, where Point Pleasant, Sea
Side Park, Island Heights, Barnegat City, and Beach Haven,
with other smaller places nearby, welcome the summer sojourner.
Atlantic City, with its seven miles of beach and drives, and'
its charming suburbs, leads the island resorts, separated from the
main land by the great salt marshes.
Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, and Stone Harbor; An
glotea, Wildwood, Holly Beach, and Wildwood Crest also have a
large summer population.
And Cape May, with its new million dollar hotel and its
wonderful improvements makes a fittiog climax and holds a high
place among the forty beaches.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to all of these
resorts from all sections of the country. Its splendid train service
makes each of them neighbor to all the rest and to the world at
large.

been manifest by the large crowds in attendance at this big Furniture Sale since

connection with his life is t ho fact that
thirty ycirn ago he was stricken with
Bright 's disease nnd after a thorough
examination ami consultation by emi
nent Buffalo physicians, his caso was
pronounced incurable ami he was ad
vised to prepare for the closing of his
earthly career.
Returning to hid home with such sad
information he was spurred to miiko a
desperate, analysis und study of
Bright. ' disease, with the result that
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave htm nn ad
ditional lease of thirty years of life, or
until the age of 111 years, ns mentioned
