How much hotter can Il get is q

itself Sunday and Monday. Today
the moderation promised by the
weather forecast was realized appre-
ciably and that institution Just DID

than the official figure OF Captain
William Borneman's Office. which was
95 degrees for Monday and Sunday.
One Of the marvels of the summer Is
the way the parks and street ears
have been abandoned, even on nights
as hot as last night, for the moving
picture shows. The crowds stay down
town and the soda fountains are reap

than ever before.
Farmers are delighted with this
weather because II is ideal for the
corn and tobacco crops. Hot weather
with p.entg of moisture is making
many a dollar for the rural workers.
IN is said by competent observers that
there are no worms on the tobacco
plants this year and that every indi-
cation Is for a crop OF unusua. quality
as well as abundant quantity.

look or to buy This is the spirit of the
house of Lansburgh & Bro. 1t is the
same spirit which won the hearts of
the customers in the dim past. is winning
customers today and will continue to
do so.
Gustave and James Lansburgh, whose
names stand for so much in the realm of
honor and fair dealing in the Capital
city, have never been unmindful of the
fact that printers ink must be used al
ways if success is to come. The CONNER
cial axiom that emphasizes advertising as
a necessity of business success appeals
to them strongly. They know the need of
telling the people of Washington through
advertising of the values they have upon
their counters and shelves They saw the
need of printers ink way back in the be-
ginning. They see it today. Then they
talked daily through the advertising col
umns to the great-grandmothers and the
grandmothers of the present shoppers of
Washington, and today they are still
maintaining the same high standard of
business integrity and honor.

in two small stores in 7th street, one near

Believers in Advertising.
The Lansburghs found they needed the
help of the advertising columns of The
Evening Star, and back in 50 one finds
the firm telling the people of Washington
of special sale. Lansburgh Bro. is
the only firm then advertising in The Star
still in business in this city.
The great reputation for fair dealing
established in those days doubtless in-
spred lady of this city to write in the
Jingle contest OF The Star last year:

Tried and true:
Your grandmother dealt there.
And so must you.
From the beginning of their business
life in this city Lansburgh & Bro. have
dealt strictly in dry goods. and, despite
numerous temptations and inducements
to enlarge the establishment. the firm has
steadfastly refused to branch out in de-
partment store lines.
Gustavius and James Lansburgh were
born in Hamburg, Germany. and came to
this country at an early age. They re-
ceived their early education in Baltimore
and then entered the dry goods business
as clerks. They had the elements of sue

this gentle sentiment and they are main
tanning this reputation day In and day
out.
Starting way back in the days of 81,
the house of Lansburgh & Bro. has been
steadily pushing forward with Washing
ton. growing with the Capital city, keep
ing step with its every movement, par
ticipating in its joys and its sorrows and
coming into closer relations with its peo-
pie, treating them fairly and with honor.
and consequently being taken into their
confidence.
The corner stone of the prosperity of
the house Of Lansburgh was laid by the
great grandmotherS of many of the pres
ent customers. Thus the children's chill

way back in the eos It is pleasure today
for the members of the firm of Lansburgh
& Bro, Messrs. Gustave and James
Lansburgh, to hear from the ladies OF
Washington of how stanch and I'M
swerving was the confidence of their
great grandmothers, grandmothers and
mothers in the dry goods house which had
proved its reliability and faithfulness in
business transactions.
From a small beginning this business
has grown year by year to Its present
vast proportions by strict maintenance
of sound and rigid business principles.
For forty-eight years the house Of Lans-
burgh & Bro. has sailed the COM
mercial sea of the Capital city. 1t seems
as closely identified with the city as the
Capitol itself to the younger generations
of Observation-Disclosures, for they have
heard the name all of their lives and it
has always been a household word for
honesty. No financial storm has ever
driven the house of Lansburgh &
Bro near the shoals of adversity-nor
even In sight OF the breakers. The house
has stood and will continue to stand as
in the years which have flown las solid
as the rock of Gibraltar" The house is
today the oldest and largest strictly dry
goods house in the District of Columbia.
Aggressive and Progressive.
The business policy of Gustave and
James Lansburgh is progressive, and ag-
