Interesting to Tenants

The courts at one time were disposed to
construe the law as between tenants and
owners in favor of the latter, but recently
their decisions have been mu ch more lib
cral to the tenant. Once it was under
stood that whatever Improvement was
added to property by a tenant could not
be removed. There has been decided
modification of decisions on this subject of
late. AS general rule, whatever ten
art puts into dwelling or erects on the
premises for his own comfort, without the
intention to permanently annex it, he may
remove at any time before the expiration
of his lease. This would include such
things as cupboards, Shelves coal bins,
and even stairway has been held to be
within the rule. All trade fixtures and
temporary structures, whether frame or
brick, and without regard to their size,
may be taken down and carried off by the
tenant who erected them. Even dwell
ing house is not part of the reality if the
right to remove it is reserved. All the
landlord can legitimately demand is to
have his property restored TO his possession
in as good condition us it was received by the
tenant, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Whatever the tenant puts in of Il movable
nature he may take away, but his carpen-
ter work must not injure or permanently
alter the property. All these decisions
concur that these removals of fixtures
hn IA of thn
lease. All that is on the land after the
lease has expired rcverts to the landlord -

place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-

as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made SO by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts Of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
refrcshmcnt of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that YOU can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well that most
Of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why

attention, when you come to

But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very we'll; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into

ever you want, suppose you
