Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart
Mill and Factory Sale Will
Begin Tomorrow Morning

Tomorrow morning the doors OF
the big Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart
store will swing open upon the semi
annual Mill and Factory Sale, a
merchandising event that is always
marked by unusual effort and pre-
paration.
The present occasion has been nc
exception. Buyers in every depart
ment of the store have been active
in the markets for weeks past, pur-
chasing mill end stocks that would
help make this event outstrip any of
the successes of past similar events
For days big cases containing the
merchandise that was picked up by
buyers have been arriving at the
store, and now the contents are ar
ranged in the various departments IN
readiness for the opening of the big
sale tomorrow morning.
To give a clear idea of all that has
been provided would involve columns
of space. A hint, however, is given
in the two pages of advertising of the
Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart store on
pages six and fourteen of this paper
Full particulars regarding prices and
merchandise may be had by refer
ence thereto.

Penn School Works Hard
For American Red Cross

The Penn school these days is con-
centrating upon the task of Ameri-
canizing foreigners and the work has
proceeded so successfully that sever
al of the patches on the huge Red
Cross blanket have been knit in by a
German boy who has four uncles in
the German army. The blanket is so
attractive that crowds were linger-
ing in front of the William Strouse
store all day and evening. 1t is ex-
hibited there in the window.
In the center of the blanket is a
large red cross, knit by Alice Co
hen, little girl born in Russia.
Most of the patches were made by
children born in Russia, Rumania,
Austria-Hungary, Italy and Ger
many. These youngsters are only
too anxious to do everything they
can for America. The knitting on
this blanket is so clever that every
one comments on the workmanship.
Besides the blanket, the Penn
building has sent to the Red Cross
seven scarfs, seven sweaters, four
pairs of wristlets and one pair of
socks, and other articles.

AND NEARBY TOWNS
METHODIST CONGREGATION
TO CELEBRATE FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY Y

The First Methodist congregation,
the oldest in the borough, will cele-
Drate the fiftieth anniversary of its
organization with special services in
the church at Fourth and Pine
streets. Sunday, February IT. The
congregation was organized in 1868,
with a membership of about thirty,
and a year later a church was built
where the electric light plant of the
steel plant now stands in Locust
street.
Sometime later the steel company
needed the land where the church
stood for improvements and the con-
gregation was compelled to get an
other location. The building was
removed and rebuilt in 1876 at Front
and Pine streets, in which the con-
gregation worshiped until 1918 when
the present edif1ce at Fourth and
Pine streets was erected and dedi-
Gated in 1914.
Church Had % Pastors
Twenty-Five ministers served past
orates for this congregation since It's
organization. OF this number seven
