bubbles for almost half century-burstng them
one after another-but few of the largest had
10 be left for the perfect organization of this new,
great store. because we wanted to do the work
thoroughly once plans were completed.
We wanted TO make the bursting as impressive
as was the bursting OF the Cut Glass bubble some
years ago. Then folks who couldn't sell Cut
Glass as cheaply as AIacys raised the wolf cry of
Inferior Quaiity'-just as they do to-day in
some other lnes-adn1itting that we DID IN
DERSELL them but allaying the fears OF their
customers by saving that Our Cut Glass was Of
very poor quality. We exploded that bubble by
shipping a lot OF Our "Straus" Cut Glass to the
Chicago Worlds Fair. WHERE IMPARTIAL
JUDGES AWARDED IT FIRST HONORS
Notwithstanding our low prices, our Cut Glass is
very much superior to nine-tenths Of the Cut Glass
sold elsewhere.
There have been scores Of similar instances, but
some Of the latter-day bubble-burstings are par
ticularly good TO refer to as evidences of the

Something Better

System


being able to go into a store and have your pur-
chase charged, paying your bill at your leisure
It is A VERY CONVENIENT vet a VERY
EXPENSIVE system. The merchant loses the
use of the money until the bill is paid, and he
must count also upon certain percentage Of I'M
paid bills that are classed as dad debts" But
he guards against FINAL LOSS from these
sources by requiring YOU to make them up in
the higher prices you pay him for his goods,
Those who take the time to make comparisons
will find at Macy's storefu of proof Of this
assertion.
We have devised plan whereby YOU may en-
Joy the convenience Of credit system without
being fined for its faults. We call it the Depos-
tors Account Department. In this Department
you privileged to deposit any sum you care to-,
make your purchases in the usual way, and have
them charged to the account.
We will send you statement Of the account
once a month and allow you 4 per cent. interest
on your unexpended balance, compromising the
interest every three months There is no more
"red tape" about the system than is necessary to
guard your interests safely and you may with
draw your money at moments notice. We urge
you to give this method trial-rnake one test OF
the advantages that have appealed to thousands.

pany, and extending from the canal
toward the mines. The first expert
mental trip was made by it on the 9Th
Of August, 1929. It was found too
heavy for the track, and its use con-
sequently had to be abandoned. The
first locomotive huilt IN This country,
and the second sver in use in it, was
made OF tho West Point Fouudery
Works in New York in 1880. It was
called The / ,st Friend Of Charleston, T,
having been built for use on che South
Carolino Railroad, then in progress Of
construction. 1t reached Charleston
on October %, 1880, and was placed
on she road November 2, 1880.
The second engine constructed in
this country was by the same parties,
for the same road.
The third, also constructed by the
West Point Company, was placed on
the Mohawk and Hudson, now part
of the New YORK Central Railroad, in
1881, and weighed three tons. 1t was
used on the summit between the two
places, worked by stationary engines,
that near Albany having length Of
2,102 feet; that near Schenectady,
2,046 feet. One of English manufac-
ture, weighing six tons, imported for
its use, was discontinued on account
of it's weight, which was too great for
the track.
It may be here remembered that al
though the experiment on the Stock
ton and Darlington Railway seemed
to be conclusive as to the practioa-
bility of using steam upon railroads,
o commission, composed Of distin-
guished English engineers, appointed
SO late as 1929 to consider the COM
parative merits Of transportation by
locomotive or stationary power, made
report in favor Of the latter, for
which they proposed the erection Of
stationary engines at points within
three miles Of each other-the trains
TO be drawn by en- endless rope OF

Would Hurry When The Lord Came

ut is an awful good thing to obey
the commands Of the Lord" says a
member Of the recent Methodist gen.
eFal conference from Pennsylvania to
a Washington Times man, 'aud when
ever / think Of this I am reminded of
o story related Of pioneer Methodist
named Valentine Cook, who was q
power in his day, and who got off
many odd sayinge.
''Once there was terrible upheav-
al of nature in the shape of an earth
quake, and DR.. Cook woke up, finding
his bed jostling aud turning. He be-
lieved the end Of the world near and
made bee line fer tho door. His
good gife, ir great agitation, called,
Valentine, wait for me! Wait for

No, my dear,' he answered,
When the Lord comes I'll wait for no.

HID to Keep His Word.

at not distant school the other
day grave infraction of discipline
was committed. The teacher was
very angry and called upon the guilty
party to confess. Not one in the
class would tell, however, so the
teacher said he would thrash every
boy in the room and then he would be
sure to find the right one.
This threat was carried out, the
teacher starting with the first boy
and thrashing every boy but one.
Finally ss he reached that last one his
anger had cooled little. Thinking
to be lenient, he said:
'Now, tell me who did this and
won't thrash you"
"All right, sir" was the reply. 81
did it,
And the school master had to keep
his word.-Philadelphia Press.

Tine S5athern7s Tracks.

The double tracking Of the Southern
railway has been completed from
Alexandris, Va, to Orange, Va, o
distance Of S5 miles. This greatly re-
lieves the congestion Of trains on that
end OF the main line and will enable
the road to operate trains TO much
better advantage and with much bet
ter regard for schedule time. While
no definite plans have been made for
che extension Of the double cracking
further South, it is believed to be
only o matter of q comparatively short
time before this will be done and
when it is, Of course, the facilities
Of the road for handling che immense
apd growing traffic will be greatly i'm
proved and there will be much less
cause for complaint than there has
been 10 tbe past. Double tracking
does away with ell necessity for TAX
inE siding to allow train coming
from the opposite direction to pass
and, in fact trains can be run without
regard TO- the movement Of trains in
the opposite direction, the only care
being to avoid running into the rear
Of trains going in the same direc-
tion. It will be ane thing for the
South when IL can have q double track
railway and will greatly facilitate the
movement Of both passengers and
freight traffic. 1t will resc!. ;a g
much quicker handling Of freights
and this, of course, will be much ap-
preciated BY shippers sni consignees

Taking The Farmer Down.

A couple Of individuals were recent
y gazing with admiration at fine fat
beast at cattle show.
II wonder what his weight might
be?" observed one Of them, who, as it
happened, was cockney without any
special knowledge.
Its easy enough to guess pretty
nigh it" said the other man, stall
wart farmer, looking with some con-
tempt at his companion.
ooh, WE'LL" said the cockney, II
think could guess as near as you
cen."
"Could ye now?" roared the farmer.
swell, I'll bet ye a sovereign ye
can't"
"Done!" returned the cockney.
Glow much did you say2"
After o critical survey the farmer
replied:
"a hundred and seventeen stones. 7"
"Well," said the oookney, "I'll say
hundred and seventeen stones, too,
so hand over the money"
"What dye mean2''
"Well, said I'd guess as near as
you and I've done 30. I've guessed
exactly the same.'
And the bystanders taking his part,
the bumptious farmer had to give
him the mouey.-Tid-B Bits.
