PHILADELPHIA. Tuesday, April Q, 1889.
Easter as coming. there as
SOMETHING to tell

10 kelt.
Humanity is engaged in an
effort to combine busi-
ness with pleasure. Usually !
they won't mix. Happiness
IS cumpatable with business
an unhappy business is pitt
full. Pleasure and happiness
in 07w business life belong to
spheres.
1t would be arrant nonsense,
far fetched absurdity, hardly |
less than impertinence, for the
average advertiser to speak
to sensible readers upon this
sort of question. Not SO with
US. Our relations to the COM
munity and the public are
such that nonsense or absur-
dity for others is often sense
and reason with us.
Hence we may properly say
that here we are combining
business with pleasure, and so
constantly and variously max
ing the effort that unless you
pass often through the store
you are certain to be the loser.
To please is a pleasure. Last
week we showed you various
decorations of Linens. They
were beautiful, and the artistic
sense of many was gratihed by
the display. That was ycu5-
pleasure, ours to count the
growing sales. From different
sides of the same event come
divers experiences, but alike
combining business with
pleasure.
Yesterday the Linens were
gone, scme to the buyers,
others to the shelves, and the
broad aisle with its marble
tiles was unobstructed. But
you need to remember the
Linen lesson. They are all
here, the choice, dainty aris-
tocatic towel for 81, the plain
huck for IoH cents, and all
the wide range between, and
so of all Linens. In barracks
just as brave as on parade.
On dark days the sun is OBJ
scured, but all the same it
shines. The stocks out Of
sight are just as real as those
on show.
To-day a bit of color salutes
you as you enter at Chestnut
street. It's Upholstery color
telling of a big stock looking
down from second floor, north
Of Transept. Elsewhere you
catch the Hamburg Edging
hints of Muslin Underwear
Cambria Muslin. They are
sort Of dry-goods tulips and
crocuses- Spring messengers.
But you are the losers if
you omit a walk through the
store many days in succession.
One Of the biggest money
saving spots is where Muslin
Underwear is heaped. Here's
