Much Buckwheat < frown —Penn-
ylvania farmers not only came back
0 their own as the leading buck
wheat producers of the nation, but
ciipsed all other production records
with the 1918 harvest. The 1918
iroduction is estimated by the Penn
ylvania Department of Agriculture
t 6,191,600 bushels and New York
tate, which captured first honors in
917, is shown to have produced but
,725,000 bushels in 1918. This gives
'ennsylvania a lead of almost a mil
lon and a half bushels over New
'ork and the total production is one
hird of the entire amount ol' buck
wheat grown in the country. In 1917
lew Y'ork, by a margin of about J
00,000 bushels, captured the honors
s the leading buckwheat producing
tate, but in addition to increasing
II crops during the past year the
•ennsylvania farmers made a special
rive in buckwheat. The total pro-|
uction of the United Stales is esti
lated at about 17,000,000 bushels, j

The Enormous Crowds—

Were a revelation to all of us. The store was packed to its utmost-—every
salesman and saleslady doing double duty—vestibule, sidewalk and street crowd
ed with anxious shopers was the situation we met on the first three days of this great sale.
The Crowds Were as Good Natured
As the Bargains Are Real
Those of you who were compelled to wait outside for hours were
amply repaid after getting into the store.
While we regret any inconvenience caused when we were com
pelled to close our doors, we were powerless to do otherwise, as the
entire store was PACKED and JAMMED ALL DAY.
Our stocki are so vast that the assortments are almost as good as
on the opening day of the sale. v
We wish we had time and space enough to enumerate the prices to give you an idea
of the GREAT REDUCTIONS. To do this would require an entire newspaper and a
supplement. The reductions will astonish you, but you can better realize their import
