A Personal Mes In these days of conservation, thrift and economy, this message is intended to serve a double purpose. Firstly, Men, I advise you to buy all your Clothing needs now, and don't limit yourselves to present needs alone, but provide as much for your future needs as possible. This refers not only to your outer apparel but your furnishings as well. Clothing will be very high next Fall, (War or no War) and a Clothing investment at this time means a saving to you of at least 35 per cent. This may sound like an exaggeration, but it is absolutely true. For instance— A Suit or Overcoat we are now selling at $14.75, will cost you next Fall $25.00. A Suit or Overcoat we are now selling at $19.75, will cost you next Fall $35.00. A Suit or Overcoat we are now selling at $24.75, will cost you next Fall $40.00. t A Suit or Overcoat we are now selling at $28.50, will cost you next Fall $50.00. Now let me ask you, could you invest your money to anv better advantage —Certainly not. Now do the wise thing. Come to THE GLOBE. Secondly—You know our One Thousand Suit and Overcoat Campaign is now running in full blast. The savings are big—the re ductions are real —the values are greater, and in addition to the great reductions and the great savings to you,.if we succeed in reaching our goal of one thousand Suits and Overcoats by February 23d, you will receive an additional bonus of 5 per cent. Now, men, you cannot afford to pass up this great money-saving opportunity. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you soon. Afterward you'll thank me for this message.

The whole industry has been so demoralized by these re peated blows that, there is to-day little trace of a normal aspect In mar kets or in plant operation. "In western Pennsylvania heavv snows on Monday paralyzed traffic and it took more than twenty-four hours to dig out trains climbing over the Allegheny mountains. "Pennsylvania and entral Western blast furnaces and steel works are operating at from 50 to 75 per cent, of capacity and there is little pros pect of real relief while winter lasts. Blast furnaces got little coke and what, is delivered is so poor that more off iron than standard grades is made At onnellsvllle coke ovens thtrtv.flvd per cent, car supply is about the aver age."
