A Triumph in Glove SETTING,

a lHunpn IN OloVe GeIung.
For twenty years we have been
trying to get perfect kid glove to
sell at One Dollar. 1t was easy
enough to get better gloves than
were sold generally at that price.
But they were far short of our ideal
of quality or finish. Paris has al
ways beaten us at glove selling.
We had to look to France for the
kid, for the peIt of animals as their
wool is effected by climate. Then
the turning Of the skins to glove
leather had to be done in Southern
France, because the water is best
suited to the process-as Philade1-
phia water is best suited to tanning
shoe leather. That done, we COM
misSioned the best glove maker in
the world to make the gloves, and
gave orders great enough to make
surest economy of price.

the result. Paris charges 4 francs

Homer or Hesoid ever conceive of gar

turesque and lovely surroundings. Here
the rose entwines the orange, and the snow

golden glow of the evening twilight.

E,,~,;4u~a FEBRUARY Furniture
- AAlIuAN nriceS- One of orr

- Aii1 prices. One of our
ardent copiers has taken the cue.
You'd think February made the
prices. Why in the world don't
people exercise common sense1 We
could sell Bedroom Furniture as
cheap in April as in February. We
don't, unless it be of belated lots
bought for February selling. .
We sell bedroom furniture cheap
in February because we put the
buying power of the store on that
particular spot of the business-we
simply watch opportunities to place
great orders for February delivery
at prices less than the normal. AS
a rule you save a third to half.
February doesn't make the prices
we make the prices for February.
They are the same in early March
while lots remain.
That's all. It's simple. But the
plan is not adaptable to many stores
so borrowing the idea with no
chance of living up to it doesn't
amount to much. Now, does it?
