NEW KELLY STORES
OPENED TO PUBLIC
Rapid Advancement of These Popular
Stores Due Largely to Advertising.

Compelled by the demands OF a
steadily increasing business to find a
larger and more satisfactory business
place, The George Kelly Department
Stores, on Saturday, threw open to the
public the doors of their new and
handsomely appointed store at 1916
1818-1820 Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic
City, stocked with probably the great
est and best display of goods ever
presented to the people of Atlantic
County.
The opening celebration was attend
ed by musical concerts in the after
noon and evening rendered by a dou-
BILE orchestra. Several thousand per-
sons visited the store and inspected
the handsome array of holiday stocks.
The celebration vas continued all this
week, with musical concerts in the
afternoons and evenings. The store
is deliberately decorated both inside
and out.
For several years past the firm of
George Kelly, situated at 624-26-28
Market Street, Philadelphia, has been
serving the public of Atlantic City
and vicinity. Last spring the firms
South Jersey business had become so
extensive that it was necessary to
open a branch in this locality. A

INTERESTING MEETING OF
FORTNIGHTLY BIBLE CLASS

"The Fortnightly Bible Class met
at the home of Mrs. J. H. North, 20 S.
Main street, Thursday afternoon, with
an attendance of twenty-nine, the fol-
lowing ladies being present: Mrs.
North, Mrs. McClelland, Mrs. Simp-
son, Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Large, Mrs.
Sharp, Mrs. Munro, Mrs. Harley, Mrs.
Herr, Mrs. Winch, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
R. Ireland, Mrs. %Ingersoll, Mrs. STRAIT
ton, Mrs. MacClain, Mrs. Burns, Mrs.
Sommers, Mrs. Bourneman. Mrs.
Bates, Mrs. J. Race, Mrs. Circan, Mrs.
Buchanan, Mrs. Crist, Miss Marjorie
North.
The class was opened with prayer
followed by a short business session.
The class then read in concert por-
tions of the 26th chapter of Second
Chronicles, from which the lesson was
taken. The subject of the lesson was
"Uzziah's pride and punishment" and
Mrs. Simpson, the teacher, drew a
word picture of the lesson so clear and
so interesting that one felt it had in
deed been good to be there. Mrs. Nc
Clelland had charge of the question
box, and answered all questions in a
very pleasing tanner. The class was
then dismissed with the Mizpah bene-
diction, to meet Thursday afternoon,
Dec. 16, at the home of Mrs. Simpson,
e. Verona avenue. The subject of the
lesson will be "The song of the An
GELS" taken from the second chapter
of Luke.

store was selected at 1880 Atlantic
Avenue. Immediately the success of
the new venture was assured by the
hearty response to the opening an
nouncements. Within a few months
it was found that the accommodations
were not sufficient to take care OF the
ever-growing trade.
Last July Richard T. Kelly, general
of the Kelly Stores, took IL
tie to the property at 1816-1S-20 At
lantic Avenue. 1t was turned over to
builders who have now erected the
most modern and u~p-to-date depart
ment store in this section of the State.
Every convenience and appliance has
been installed for displaying the goods
and providing for the safety of pat
rons. The entire front is encased in
glass for window displays, and the
new holiday stock is attracting the
attention of the whole county.
The management of the Atlantic
City Kelly Store resides in the person
of Richard E. Boyle, a resident of At
lantic City for the past ten years, and
during that time engaged in similar
business there. His familiarity with
the needs of the Atlantic City public,
his business acumen, and the opportu-
nifty given him of presenting to the
local public an unexcelled quality of
merchandise made him certain of sue
cess, and to him is due in a great mea-
sure the success of the local store.
Mr.. Boyle has recognized the value
of newspaper publicity, and since he
became connected with the Kelly
Store that has been one of the most
persistent and consistent newspaper

methods Of seed selection have been

Since lettuce is seldom sold by weight

more Importance. The formation OF

USE OF THE ROLLER

The capillary water that rises from

mark in soils that are ne-grained.
and consequently We find that in the
dry part Of the summer. when plants
are dependent upon "apillarity for their
water supply, coarse grained sands be-
come very dry. If these soils could be
pressed together, SO that the air space
between the separate grains would be-
