A Cake Story
 Read Ii!

A woman of refinement and education seeking not long since to increase her income, stumbled on a gold mine, so to speak. Being the personifica- tion of domesticity she revolted at the idea of office or business work. Saying so to q friend, the latter, who had recently been presented at court, re- piled: Well, if you were in England you'd surely be ap- pointed .'cake maker to the King.'' In another moment she continued seriously, And why not2 True, you can't be 'cake maker to the King but you can make cakes for Bir- mingham people who demand the best. Why, I'll get you plenty of orders.
 But Drennen's, hearing of the lady's decision, arranged at once to secure all the cakes she baked. (The lady is not court ing publicity, so please don't expect us to tell you who she is) Besides the cakes on sale, we will take special orders for all kinds of cakes, with special at tention to Birthday, Anniver- sary and Wedding Cakes.
 The prices began at z5c- The cakes ,Dill be on sale Monday.

Our $500 Hats They're the Best!

Madam, at five dollars-to be specifie-we have the best hats for the money. The explana- tion of this lies in the fact that instead of depending largely upon manufacturers we main tain a large millinery work room and make pretty nearly all the hats we sell, using inn ported hats, and hats from Joseph $, New York, for our in spirations. In this way we ire quently are able to impart a great deal of style and distinc- tion to a hat without making it cost any more in dollars and cents.

The Store Editor Plays Store Reporter and Also Paragraph Writer

 sasj ssj I'll stick one on tool The work of this store reporter may be likened to that of a city editor for a daily paper. He must exact care to see that the store news is first, accurate; second, timely; and third, clear and concise-snappy maybe but absolutely free from eXag. geration, and with every state ment carefully verified before publication.
 Walking into the Bargain Basement hunting "news,' found the buyer ticketing some merchandise sent down by va rious departments:
 The China. Department had sent
 about 800 plates of patterns that had been dropped. Originally they
 were marked 25c. The Basement
 man was putting 10c prices on
 them.
 From the Corset Department were
 a pile of corsets, only small and
 large sizes, that were originally
 75c, being remarked 39c.
 From the Underwear Department
 a pile of Ladies Comt ination Suits
 beautiful new goods trimmed with
 lace and embroidery. glanced at
 the tag. It read S5c. I was even
 surprised myself when the buyer
 put 39c ticket on them
 From the Mems Furnishing Depart-
 ment came bundles of sox tied mp
 in lots of five. Marked for the entire
 five 25c.
 The buyer said they were only 10c
 sox-"but even that" I thought.
 Then some Childrens Gingham
 Dresses in good colors, sizes up to
 IA years, that were S9c were
 marked 49c.
 "Say," said the Basement buyer: lf
 Just look at all these prices in
 here. There ain't store in the
 south, let alone Birmingham, that
 can match these prices. Hand 'em
 a line of talk, whoop 'em upl Get punch to your stuff. for there ain't bunch of bargains anywhere
 that'll touch these"
 And as I left with this inele- gant but accurate truth ring ing in my ears, 1 thought, .sWell, for an English purist that buyer is sure cutting some cheese" :"
 You know how you buttonhole a friend when you want to hold him and his attention on a matter very close to your heart-well, we are a "button- holing" you to say:
 If anything goes wrong with our store service don't go off offended; even in quiet dignity. Tell ns about if. Maybe a package is sent to the wrong address-or the wrong pack age to the right address.

We set all employ ees an example of courtesy and good cheer and 1t is pretty gen orally reflected by them in the usual courteous treatment you receive here. But some things go awry; sometimes it'll be ssblue Monday" even in the middle of the week.
