ING down the efforts of others ont of spite

here is one. who, while differing from some
others as to methods. is willing to work
side by side with all. We quote from Il
letter from prominent member the New

The Methodist Episcopal church has
always been right ON the rum question and
SO have we ministers. The backsliders and
sinners who have sacrificed the principles of
righteousness and truth. because the st

disease of Prohibition even skin deep

with rum, and as | see the best method
from my standpoint, I mean 30 strike

Very little carpet trade in
the city yet, except in the
wake of our three-quarter
prices. All the carpets we
have OF patterns not new this
Spring are still at three-quar-
ters or thereabout; and we
have hundreds of patterns
of Tapestry, Velvet, Brussels,
Moquette and Wilton.
Spring patterns also we have
put below the prices current
hitherto and so the trade of
the city is here.
We meant to do this very
thing. These carpets had
got to be sold. They bur
dened the market. Why
shouldn't you have them ?
Why shouldn'twe sell them?
Price would do it; and did.
New carpets and old are

Muslin underwear has
been going out of homework
into factory-work for a gene
ration. With busy women
in cities the change may be
said to have been accom-
plishcd. The advantage is SO
much with the factory that
homework has come to be
eXtravagant; and then, if one
wants to be extravagant, she
can be SO to any length,
avoid the drudgery of family
sewing, and gain by the shift
in every way.
Country women haven't
learned how yet, cxcepta few.
They haven't learned how to
do any part of their shopping

are accustomed to the ways
Of country stores, or at best
of the stores ofcountry cities.
They haven't found out how
far behind those rural ner.
chants are in the modern sci
cnce of trade. They would
do we'll to inquire where the
people who live in these
country cities shop. Shop
ping is not a city privilege;
but city women learn it first.
It is getting to be the fact
that country-city merchants
live on country trade. 1t is
going to be the fact that local
merchants everywhere viii!
have to open their eyes, or
lose the country trade as
well.
Muslin underwear is an
excellent test of a store
There are thousands of wo-
men in Philadelphia itself

You remember how in
January we sold a hundred
and-hfty thousand yards OF a
splendid unknown muslin by
putting il two cents a ward

hit. Everybody knows

makers of another splendid
muslin are disposed to profit
by an equal liberality.
Madapolam, a fine muslin
made BY the Berkeley Com
pany OF Providence, X. T., is
almost exactly the same in
quality, weight and fineness
as Pride Of the West which
everybody knows the virtues
and value of. Pride of the
West is Il cents.a yard. So
IS Madapolam; but we are
going to sell it for 10. The
reason-as hinted at-the
