we have no doubt but what all records

ing
1t Is extraordinary that we should have
any Linens at all. But more extraor-
binary to have so many at such low
prices.
In the history of linens there has never
been a situation like that now confront
ing manufacturers. dealers and con-
sumers. Linens have doubled and
rebled in price. and even at these high
prices they are not obtainable In salts
factory quantities. Under the circum-
stances we think ourselves extremely
fortunate to be able to offer during this
Thanksgiving Event The Finest Grades
Of Table and Art Linens IN Unlimited
Quantities and al Hardly Anp Ad-
pances Over the Prices of Year Ago.
We hope that every woman wanting
linens. whether for the Thanksgiving
table, for year-round use, or for Christ
mas gift presentation. will make herself
realize that this offer is both timely
and unusual. 1t will not be made again
as we cannot obtain future supplies in
quantities or at prices anywhere like
what we now offer. Make the most
of this opportunity then by coming
this week and buying freely.

annual salary said to be in excess OF
Herzogs stipend in the same position
bringing the amount somewhere in
the neighborhood of $4,000 In all
more than $4,000 was involved in
the deal, although the shifting of
contracts makes the actual outlay of
money less than this amount.
Weeghman of Chicago and Ebbets

each for the privilege of doing bust
ness with HerZog without success
The former then proceeded to pur-

an expense reported to be in excess
