THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS has

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS has
won the foremost place among Pennsyl-
vania newspapers by the liberality, enter
prise. and fair ness with which it conducts
its business, reports great events, and the
completeness with which it records, day
by day, the life Of the city, State and
country.
Its field is worldwide, and its staff, its
special correspondents, so many and so
we'll organized, its source of news so nu-
merous, that it appeals to a wider cOnstit-
uency than any other newspaper ever pub
lished in Pennsylvania.
THE PRESS said one of the manag-
ers of the Western Union Telegraph Com
ny, "nOw receives more telegraphic news
than all the other PHILADELPHIA newspapers
combined" This statement is authoritative
and conclusive, and THE PRESS presents
asdaily witnesses to its truth, its twelve to
twenty-four bright and interesting pages.
But it is not only by its news enterprise
by the zeal, energy and integrity of It
reporters and correspondents that THE
PRESS has won and held the confidence
of its many thousands of readers, repre-
senting every age and every condition OF
life, every trade and every profession,
every faith and every political opinion.
It is the excellence and varied interest of
THE PRESS as a general family journal.
appealing to women as well as to men,
which have made for it so many friends at
home, and extended its reputation through
| out the country. 1t prints every import
ant event of the worlds progress.
The printing of news is always its first
| business, but its columns are also enriched
/ bv contributions from the most gifted spe-
| cial writers, the most famous novelsts, and
some of the most eminent public men OF
the time The literary engagements
already made for 1901, probably surpass IN
number and variety, and nearly equal in
| cost. any contemporary magazine, for the
field and resources of such a newspaper as
/ THE PLESS make it not only a daily his
torian, but a daily forum and daily
tribune.
Its steadily growing profits and its stead
fast constituency not only demand, but IN
sure progress. The greatest authors, as
we'll as the brightest news correspondents
find their largest profits derived from any
PENNSYLVANIA newspaper, as well as thel
hest Pennsylvania audiences, in DAILY
SUNDAY and WEEKLY PRESS.
In politics THE PRESS is Republican
but it knows no other master than tn
people whose rights, aspirations, and need
Il always defends. 1t has no enemies t
punish. no individual political ambition
to foster or promote. and is subservient I
, no politician or clique Faithful to tn
: great body of readers and voters, whom
truly represents, it promotes its own inhu
ence and interest by faithfully upholdin
theirs. It's editorial opinions are fearles
and frank-never captious. Its news
always impartial. In its page. tn
D | workingmen find as ready audience
d os the capitalist. To all CON
mercal and industrial progress, to the be
I thought and best action in every sphere
e human enterprise, it accOrds a generol
e and enlightened hospitality. In the GO GO

Embr0iderIeS

Those Manufacturers Rem
nants in Embroideries have lost
none of their interest, or rather
they have gained new interest
from new arrivals. Yesterday
was the heaviest day yet in the
sales of them.
46-inch Embroidered Swiss Flouncings Some
with Tucks and some with Plaits at 49c. per
yard These are exceedingly large values.
None of them cost less than 81 and some Sl.3S to

The noticeable part of this

made entirely of new, fresh

getting them at such low figures
is one which is not likely to Oc-
