The Passing of Autumn.

Gray Autumn strolls 10 the russell fields
And forests bare and wild;
And amid the pale, dead flowers doth
wall
And moan, as a motherless child.
His haunting voice runs along
The chill November wind,
Like voice Of one that weeps, undone,
A dear departed friend.
His sober mantle loosely hangs
And rustles to his tread;
His locks OF snow are waving slow
Around his pensive head.
He wears soft benignant smile,
As if to hide his woe;
A tender grace lights up his face,
Like after-sunset glow.
The birds have heard his lonesome voice
And hid as i. in fright;
No more ring out their wiIdish shout;
As in the springtime bright.
His chilly breath has snatched away
The flowers maiden bloom,
And the verdure from the forest leaves
And robed them for the tomb.
But Autumn, thee we will not chide;
For golden harvest thou
Hast round us spread, and apples red
Hung on the bending bough,
And shaken down the nuts so brown,
The children gather in glee-
No, FOR all these gains OF fruits and grains,
We render thanks to thee.
Nor win we blame VOC for the change
You've wrought upon the earth;
Sweet quietness, our homes to bless,
You've brought, and Preside mirth.
and when, old friend, your stay shall
end,
And cold dark days are here,
Alb, kindly We viii remember thee,
For all thy blessings dear.
We wish that you might longer stay,

Hallmark Store.

In the United States there are 0,O00
retail jewelers.. OF these at least 1000,
whether in large or small cities or towns,
conduct their business on the same plan.
They are generally referred to as the
best jewelers.. Their success is the
result OF honest representation and fair
dealing. In january 1914, forty-two
of these jewelers. met in Chicago to con-
slider plan for cooperative movement
that would unite the power and prestige
OF these $500 stores. They formed the
United Jewellers, Inc. incorporated I'M
der the laws OF the State Of New York
with an authorized capital OF vi boo, 900.
The list OF jewelers. who were invited to
buy stock and become partners in this
company was carefully prepared and
approved by board OF directors who
are themselves retail jewellers. Each
individual was approved not only for
the financial responsibility but for his
integrity and standing as citizen.
The purpose OF the company is to
produce general line OF merchandise
for every department OF the retail jew
elry store under special trademark.
In other words, the retailer becomes
his own manufacturer. Selling cost and
manufacturing cost are reduced TO
minimum and he has direct super
vision OF quality and workmanship.
The natural result is highest quality
merchandise at no more cost than lower
grades distributed in the ordinary way.
The United Jewellers, Inc, have adopt
ed as their trademark the word Hall
mark and the stores OF the stock
holders are known as Hallmark stores.
There is but one Hallmark store in any
city or town and Hallmark merchan-
disc is for sale only in the stores OF the
stockholders. The company's main
Office is in New York City where COM
petent hands study the market for new
ideas and improved manufacturing facil-
tiles.
It will not be long before there will
be Hallmark store in every city and
town ia the United States. Already the
leading jewelers. in several hundred cities
have joined this great Incorporating move
ment. The volume OF business done by
the jewellers already enrolled amounts
to many millions OF dollars. The total
sales OF the 2, 500 stores amount to over
$50 OOO. 900 annually. This will give
YOU some idea Of the producing power
OF this company.
Look for the trademark Hallmark,
II stands for honor and economical serv-
ice. 1t means the lowest cost Of pro-
duction possible. IT means lower
price or better quality.
