made an investigation and discovered
that an old and sadly-worn couch, soaked
with petroleum, had been placed against
the clap-boarding Of the house. This
had been ignited.
Only the activities OF the volunteers

shovels Of earth hurled at the blaze by

loss to about SIS

TAILORING TALKS.
By J. FRED GATCHELL,
928 Fourteenth Street

Opposite Franklin Park.

This SPECIAL SALE that l
am running really deserves your
attention. I say that am saving
you 25% on the usual price of
Suit. Suppose you drop in and
let me give you some samples of
these goods; then you can take
the matter under advisement
knowingly. The special prices
range from $25 to $40. THE
ACTUAL VALUE is AT
LEAST $50 MORE. If that is
not a good proposition from your
standpoint, l do not know what
would be.
These Suits will be made up
consistently with the worth of the
fabrics; or in other words,
THEY ARE HIGH-GRADE,
and SO IS GATCHELL TAI
LORING. We cut them any way
you want them cut, or if you have
The Washington herald., 1911-05-13

no preference, we will design
them according to Our ideas.
My Fit or No Pay" is the
broadest guarantee that I know
how to give. 1t literally means if
you are not satisfied with the
Suit after it is completed, for any
reason whatever, you don't have
to take it-and that there shall
be no possible embarrassment in
this regard, l don't take any de-
posit in advance.
There will be nothing to argue
over. If we have succeeded in
satisfying you, you take the Suit.
II we do not, you not only don't
have to take it, but will not per-
init it to leave the shop. Every
man who wears Gatcheil Clothes
has got to be satisfied with them.
This, together with the $3.50
saving, seems to me to be an un-
answerable argument.

Critical Condition of Dowager Queen May Result in
Postponement of Coronation and
Loss to Business

OF British patriots are rushing In a panic
to Lloyds to obtain insurance against
the financial loss that would ensue should
Queen Alexandra's death make necessary
postponement Of this coronation.
The truth about Alexandra is that she
has never recovered her bereavement
following King Edwards death. and
the consequent loss Of her position as
the leading lady of the land.
The private anniversary service at
Windsor in memory of King Edward
proved altogether too much for her.
