Now York. April 7.—The smallest
ains in church membership in the j
Iresent century were made in the j

olleeted by Dr. H. K. Carroll fori
he Christian Herald. Only 284,599 |
ew communicants were gained by j

he cause.
At the present time there are in !
he United Htates 41,565,908 mom
ers of churches, so that less than j

How Well You Remember I
The days when you could buy a good suit of clothes for
twenty-five dollars, thirty dollars was occasionally paid for clothes that were
a bit out of the ordinary. Even today a good suit can be bought for $35 and S4O and seems like
extravagance—And yet a clever clothing manufacturer put "fifty dollar" suits on the market
which has made the whole country sit up and take notice.
$50.00 Suits 11
One day he had an idea that I wonder if I'm wrong, he
started him thinking, you know the great- thought, I'll try it out; here's where the

Last fall this clothing manufacturer marketed thousands
and thousands of these good suits and this "Live Store" had the pleasure of
distributing hundreds of them in this section of the country—They were the best suits that
were ever sold in Harrisburg or anywhere else—so we placed a big order for these wonderful
suits in every new spring model and they are certainly being carried away—"fifty dollar
suits" why it's a cinch to sell the kind we are talking about because they're "better suits than
anyone else can afford to make for more money."

Quality and service are the things that count—Rich and
poor all like good quality, the best they can afford to buy, whether it's clothes
or anything else—Give them the best and you'll get as much business as you can do. We are
proving it every day in this ever busy store—Build up your quality and service, keep the
price fair, that's the game.
