Closed Saturdays at p. m.

Our modern methods of
merchandising can meet and

winter or the lowering blaze
of a bloom of holiness in Mid
Summer tax our powers.
Therefore, while the dissolv-
ing temperature lasts, we will
not print very much store

much to-day the story would
have a chapter each on
Dress Goods in patterns,

To these many other things

Remember this: Once you

cool and restful. The sun
smites not, all things are calm.
You can rest when and where
