The Poetry Of Motion
tAAt&tttk

Physicians differ somewhat as
to the advisability Of girls in
dulging in the practice of roller
skating, but they are a unit in
the opinion that for boys it is a
most healthful exercise. Be-
sides, skating being the "poe-
try OF motion" 1t teaches
them grace and ease of
movement. Now, to encourage
this amusement, and at the same
time to bring our house moro
prominently before the public as
the LEADING BOYs' IND Chill
DREN'S CLOTHING HOUSE in the
District, we shall present to
every purchaser Of Boys or Chill
dren's Clothing to the amount of
$3.50 and upward a pair Of fine
roller skates.
Our spring stock is now COM
plete to nioety, and it Is safe to
say that never before in tho his
tory of the clothing business h rs
such high grade clothing for man,
youth, boy, and child been offered
for the uniformly low prices we
name. Never before has such a
variety of kinds and styles been
exhibited in one house in Wash
ington as we are prepared to
show you this season.
We do not stack UP mountains
high of ONE KIND, but we always
keep our sizes full in the great
many kinds we keep, having so
arranged that we can duplicate
our sizes every day If necessary,
thereby keeping our stock fresh,
bright, and new.
This is the place where mothers
hearts will be gladdened, fathers
pocketbooks touched lightly, and
the boys made supremely happy.
You cannot, in justice to your
selves, ignore our claim to selling
fine clothing at popular prices.
The matter is easily settled. Ex-
anime our goods and prices, and
then determine whether or not
our claim is a good one.
