» 4 The Quality Store 99 L
♦ • Twenty years ago this store began business. Onr aim from the
. beginning has been to serve the public conscientiously. To try in u
▼ every instance to give the best values possible in return for the r
LA customer's money. It has never been a question with us how we JA
|» could, best sell cheap merchandise, but how we could sell good r
reliable goods at lower prices than our competitors. U
L. We are glad to know that our ideals have been realized. We L
|j< know that we have established a reputation for goods of quality jf
. and for strict integrity. P
f Many people who were among our first customers are among our p
most valued patrons to-day. Goods we sold years ago have proved u
4 their worth with time and that every sale has proved satisfactory p
to the customer. L
A f««l that we have proved that we are worthy of your confi- r
~ dence. At this time when everybody desires to exchange the com- [4
1( A pliments of the season with some token of esteem, it is essential j
; * that the presents exchanged should be good, or offense.will be given M
[4 where compliment is intended. 1
Goods in our line make ideal presents. The great difficulty for M
|jf those who are not expert is to distinguish the genuine from the I I
;! inferior. You must depend to a great extent on the reputation of M
Jjf the dealer. If yon come to us you get not only what you intend to L
|I.I buy. but yon get a thoroughly reliable article, as we give you the P
▼ fullest benefit of our long experience. B
« With such stores as Claster's at your command there is no ex- P
£ cuse for buying any article that will prove a disappointment to you p
jfe or the one to whom you give. You can get a first-class article here H
I as low or perhaps at a lower price than a "trashy - * one bought tp
W indiscriminately.
No matter whether yon have little or much to spend, you can P
Wbuy to advantage here, as our very large stock has been selected |
to meet the financial conditions of everyone. N
We invite you and your friends to visit our store, where polite B
T and willing sales people will give you courteous attention without M
U any disposition to have you buy unless you are disposed to do so.

In Time of National Peril
•'Let us remind ourselves, there
fore. of the only thing we can do or
will io. We must U- end in evi y time
of national per l, in the future a< in the
past, uot upon a standing army, nor yet
upon a reserve arm*, but upon a
eitironry of trained and acvustomed
to arms. !t will be right enough, right
Aneri -an |>o!i ■> . based UJHMI our no
customed principles an 1 practices. to
provide a system by which every citizen
who will volnnteer for the training may
be made familiar with the use of mod
ern arms, the rudiments of drill and
! maneuver, and the maintenai e and
; sanitation of camps. We should en
j coura.ge sveh training and make it a
means of discipline whi.-h oar young
, men will learn to value. It is right that
I we should pro\ de it not only,-bat that
' we should make it as attractive as j>o»
i sible. and so induce o.ir young men to
undergo it a" such times as they can
j command a little freedom and can seek
rhe physical development they need, for
mere health's sake, if for nothing more.

Should Develop National Guard

•neans which is not i it ousistt ut with
j our obligations to our own people or

ernntent. And tins. also, not because
the time or cv -asion specially calls for
such measures, hut because it should
j i>e our constant policy to make taese
provisions for our national peace and
| safety.
"More than this carries with it a
, reversal of the whole history and char
acter of our policy. More than this,
proposed at this time, permit me to
say. would mean merely that we ha-1
rost our self-possession, that we had
been thrown off our bal mce by a war
with which we have nothing to do.
whose causes cannot touch us. whose
very existence affords us opportunities
of friendship and disinterested service
which should make us ashamed of any
! thought of hostility or feirful prepara
-1 tion for trouble. This is assuredly the
! opportunity for which a people and a
government like ours were raised up,
the opportunity not only to speak but
actually to embody and exemplify the
counsels of poir e and amity and the
lasting concord which is based on jus-
I tice and fair and generous dealing.
Depend on a Powerful Navy
"A powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means of defense; and it has always
i i>een of defense that we have thought.
ue\er of aggression or of conquest.
But who shall tell us now what sort i
of navy to bi*ild? We shall take leave j
,to be strong upon the seas, in the 1
; future as in the past; and there wiil be
i no thought of offense or of provocation
■in that. Our ships are our natural
bulwarks. When will the experts tell
us jnst what kind we should construct 1
—and when will they be ri-ghrt for ten
years together, if the relative efficiency i

No Further Need for Discussion
"Bot 1 tnrn away from the snb- j
,iect. It is not new. there is no need

' attitude toward it because gome
amongst ik are nervous and excited. i
We -hall easily ami sensibly agree
upon ii policy of defense. The question
• has not changed its aspects because
the times are not uoninl. Our policy
will not be for an occasion. It will
be couceived as a permanent and set
tled thin,;, which we will pursue at til J
seasons, without haste and after a
fashion perfectly consistent with the
peace of the world, the abiding friend- !
ship of states, and the unhampered l
freedom of all with whom we deal, j
there he no misconception. The
( country has been misinformed. Wei

defense. We are not unmindful of the
great responsibility resting upon us.
We shail learn and profit by the lesson j
of every experience and everv new I
circumstance; and what is needed will ;
be adequately done.''
