From the U. s. Glass Co.,, of Pittsburg, a
 Big Purchase.

For the sake of getting small price for the sake of saving you 23c a dozen on Tumblers, we bought I7,45o from the United States Glass Co., These Tumblers will be sold by the dozed at I7c.
 There's an interesting inside story to this deal The tumblers were sent to a big south ern wholesale house. There were too many. They couldn't pay. It looked to the United States Glass Go. as if they would have to send the glass back to Pittsburg- -the fac tory. They figured out the cost of packing and freight -$I84.5o Then there were big chances of damage-glass is worse than eggs to ship. The only possible relief was Il. J. & L., the only store in the south that could buy and sell so big a lot. Result: They offered us the I7,45o at regular price less likely damage, packing expense and what it would cost them to send the ware back to Pittsburg. We, thinking of you, accepted the offer.
 We. deducted freight rates etc., saved from regular retail price That's why they're here at I7c dozen instead of 4oc dozen.

 Every paper of importance in the South praises the May Book worm-read it today. All news dealers: Be-
 The first bound volume of the Bookworm is ready. The price is S2. I'll venture it'll be at prem- ium inside of year for there's only small number.
 Mr. Man pull or that broad last years belt you're wearinl-theyre out of style. Nothing wider than an inch will do now-anu to add insult to injury, belts are no longer fancy in design but perfectly plain.
 Do you know, sir, that tour-in- hands are not to be worn any longer1 They're long enough.
 The Summer man who wears his suspenders over his dress shirt will now have to go away back and sit down;-The "out of sight" sus- bender attachment will occ upy a front seat and they cost only twenty-five cents. See them to appreciate them.
 Skirts made free brought crowd Friday, the 9th, is the last call.
 The Store Reporter is glad his few lines last week about the "Pasteur" filtered water here, has taken seed so to speak-it's good thing, drink it along.
 Isn't that Library" window scene artistic. Even the pink wall paper doesn't mar the matchless attractiveneSS.
 Summers near and you'll soor I've living in trunk again. Get 3 = qg enough one and a strong one Some new ones here, and others making the voyage from New York and will be here in a few days.
 Isn't that an odd artistic go-carr booklet1 It's for the asking.
 Your kind observation and ob servance-With every purchase i: enclosed check" enumeratine the goods. One of the rules of the store is, that all goods, to be ex changed, or refunded, must be ac companied by the purchase check we ask that you do not request exchange of goods, or your money back, unless you present this check This is rule politely put.
 The May Bookworm is out-at all news stands, special 5c. Get it today, it's good Sunday reading.
 Constantly it crops out that Birmingham could hardly do with out "L. J. & L.,' if it is to be abreast with the retail prog ress. The latest link in the chain of evidence is, that we are the only store in the city where you are able to get that new and best selling book of the day, Dorothy Vernon, by Charles Major, the au- thor of When Knighthood Was in Flower"
 The science of retailing is not ir getting as big profit as possible The purchase from U. s. Glass Co.,. told of on this page illustrates that fact, for instead of getting regular prices for glass purchased, the say ing |. J. & L." made was deduct ing from regular retail price and so saved for the customer Isn't that the acme of retailing science; after all, the store that counts itself the mere agent of the people comes pretty near hitting the nail on the head: The retail store is a public trust.

its Chenango & Waikiki Valley
branches; and the Boston G. Albany
railroad.
Over all of the above roads the tick
cts are good in the hands of the bearer
for one person or a dozen. and good
until used, there being no limit to the
ticket. They are also accepted for pas
sage, subject to the local rules and
regulations, on the following lines:
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg rail
way; Central Railroad of Pennsylva-
mia; Pittsburg, Johnstown, Ebensburg
& Eastern railroad; Philadelphia &
Reading railway, and Atlantic City
railroad.
These tickets are sold at the fiat rate
of 2 cents per mile, and that they are
a great convenience to the public is
proven by the fact that thousands of
them are in the hands of not only reg
ular travellers, but of many families
that travel only occasionally, as they
are always ready for use and enable
their holders to travel on all the New
York Central lines east of Buffalo at
2 cents per mile without waiting for re-
bates or proof of ownership.
