quality Talks

Never in the history of any store,
or establishment, has quality been
given so much attention as at the Big
Store this year Throughout the en-
tire store quality reigns supreme. In
each department quality seems To
speak to you-from the basement TO
the furniture department quality occll-
pies a prominent space. The Cloak
and Suit department is ripe with It.
The wonderful display of Wooltex and
Renwick Suits for spring wear are
truly beauties, and the quality can be
seen at the first glance. In the Mill.
merry department no expense has been
spared-the best of everything pre-.
walls. 1t is sufficient to say of this
department that here can be purchas-
ed the finest output of the Gage PEG,
ple-the most noted and deservedly
so, makers of women's hats in the
country. The name Gage" is a stamp
of superiority, recognized as standard
in style, material and workmanship
In the Shoe, Furniture AM all other
departments can be found the same
tone of quality, until the whole estab.
lishment fairly teens with it. Buying
at the Phillips Big Store Co.'S now,
more so than at any other time, means
that you are getting the absolute best
your money can buy.
This does not mean that there is To
be any advance in price in connection
with this high standard of quality. 1t
is the result Of wise buying, of buying
In immense lots. standard merchan.
disc, of the first quality, and can there.
fore be offered at a much lower price
than when buying in small lots and
at the regular market value.

The credit has come to me, to the

you whom 1 would have given much

wasn't room enough; and so 1 have
brought you here partly for your own

thousands Of other workers. as repre-
senting all good, faithful, fearless pub

do what the public need demands, and
who, in the last analysis, stand all on
the same level, when judged by that
