voULD you pay s3,oOo,oOO for
" phonograph? That's what
" it cost Thomas A. Edison, and !
many. years of labor, to develop the
Official Laboratory Model of the New
Edison, the "Phonograph with
Soul" And as he produced it, per-
feet in every detail, so is 1t sold by
N. Stetson & Co., I'LL Chestnut
street. Nothing has been changed in
it's quality, it re-creates the human
voice and musical instruments SO
marvelously that when demonstrated
in direct comparison with the artists
detection is impossible. Each model
is manufactured at the lowest possi-
BILE cost, and may be had in two diff
ferent cabinet designs, the Chippen-
dale and the William and Mary, the
latter in walnut, executed by IA
nous designer to meet the need of
case that would be in keeping with
any style furniture.
WHENEVER there is the
" slightest doubt. what to give
Z
(and when isn't THEREBY it is always
safe to fall back upon the one thing
he never goes without, but which is
always wearing out-hosiery. At
Jacob Reeds Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut
street, every kind of half hose is to
be had. Fine English and domestic
woolens, plain colors or heather mix
lures, in fiat weaves, fine and coarse
ribbed effects, all full fashioned and
excellent for sports, outdoor work or
wearing with oXfords. In silk half
hose there are attractive plain col
ors. with or without clocks; French
ribbed; high-grade domestic
bright silk two-tone combinations
drown and green, black and white,
two shades of purple), in graduated
stripes and inexpensive overplaid
half hose.
no YOU want to earn the last
ing gratitude of that friend
for whom you are seeking
really distinctive Christmas present :?
IF so, drop in at William Curry's,
1112 Chestnut street, and examine
their fitted bags and suit cases for
men and women. You have no idea
what variety there is in size, shape,
feathers and fittings, and as every
one travels these restless days, if
only to Camden and back, you could
not give a more welcome gift. The
smallest. size Overnight Cases for
women are dainty little affairs,
holding the most necessary toilet ar
ticles, with room for a mighty and
kimono, while the largest are pro-
vided with a most complete outfit in
shell, Partisan ivory or silver. The
bags and cases for men are equally
as attractive and many have ebony
fittings.
-HE term "ideal' should not be
used promiscuously, only to
IL the highest achievement in
any line should it be applied, as in
the Ideal" Fireless Cookstoves sold
at the House Furnishing Store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
street. This embodies all that is
best in freless ocookstoves, and truly
ideal is the cuisine after one has
been installed. No more scorched,
burnt, dried-up or overlooked food;
everything is cooked so that the food
value, flavor and nutriment are pre-
served, and with absolutely no atten-
ton from the housewife during the
process of cooking. There are three
size cookers, those in oak cases
being much the best. Any one can
use them, the only differences in
cooking the "Ideal" way are lighter
work, better food and smaller fuel
and food bills. ...
VYTHAT is so rare as-not a day
wv in June-but a good cigar?
w Walk down the street, pass
through hotel exchange, go into
any Office and what pursues you
The odor of veritable tweed" Per-
haps these have all been gifts from
poor deluded women, who fancied
they We're buying the best. You
know they are woefully cheated
when purchasing tobacco, principally
because they go to the wrong shop
When you get that box of cigars for
his Christmas present be sure to
choose it from the stock of the E.
Bradford Clarke Company, 1920
4 Chestnut street. They keep the

ing tobacco, among them the "Hor.

made of the choicest Havana leaf OBJ,
tainable, and the Bradford" less
