C[CKLE pears, the first of the Sea
- son, have Just arrived at Henry
~ R. Hallowell & Son, Broad
reminded that autumn is not far off,
for these most delicious of all pears
are among the first fall arrivals.
They are grown each year by Mrs.
Sol Runyon, in the Runyon Valley,
California, for Hallowell's, and
those who have enjoyed them in the
past will recall their delightful
flavor. Among other luscious fruits
Hallowell's now have Japanese
plums. Large and juicy, they make
an unusually pleasing dessert that's
bound to find favor with the par
ticular hostess. They are greenish
yellow, suffused with red where the
sun has touched them, and while they
are beautiful to look upon, they are
even more pleasing to the palate.
Pronounced by every one "the best
of all plums!'
TEWS travels fast these days,
~ and in the case of Thommen's
4 sticky CHM bun it has been
good news. Orders have come from
as far south as Texas and as far
west as California. Travellers from
various states have tasted and gone
away singing the praises of the Won
derful cinnamon bun obtainable in
Philadelphia and of the especially
delicious sticky CHM bun obtanable
only at Thommen's. Visitors to the
- tLn Nnunntinn &c
the Knights Templars will be glad
to know that while staying in Phila-
delphia they can have a breakfast,
luncheon or dinner at Thommen's,
which they will pronounce salts
flying meal. Thommen's restaurants
at 1920 Market Street and 100
Chestnut Street, are located con-
veniently near to Broad Street
Station.
rOSEPH G. DARLINGTON & CO.,
Inc, 1126-2s Chestnut Street,
~ reports that the furniture sale is
SURPRISING even the most sanguine
expectations. Sales are double those
of last years sale, due in part, no
doubt, to the fact that the public
generally has come to the realization
that prices are rising all the time.
There is an especially beautiful
hutch or cupboard in the sale, which
YOU really must see. 1t shows the
Gothic influence in it's design and
would look well with either Gothic or
Renaissance furniture. Besides the
larger pieces of furniture there are a
number of smaller things, such as
candlesicks, book-ends, ETC., which
would make acceptable gifts, and as
there will not be another furniture
sale before Christmas and prices are
constantly advancing, you would do
we'll to buy now.
-OR the girl anticipating happy
II wear at college, Oppenheim, Col
L. Inns & Co., of Chestnut and
