TN THE past I wondered why men
became auctioneers, but since
frequently the Philadelphia Art
and Auction Rooms, S. E. cor. 18th
and Chestnut street, I have discov-
cred the secret, though perhaps few
handle as great number and va
riety of valuable articles as does
Mr.. Reed H. Walmer. He has just
finished disposing of a fine collec-
ton of paintings, and now comes
another large consignment of U. S.
Government property: household ap-
pointments. etc, which will be sold
in April. Then at 10 a. m. today the
regular Monday auction of mex
pensive miscellaneous articles takes
place on the third floor. The bal
ance of the week will be spent in
preparing for later sale in the Art
Rooms of the effects of a prominent
estate: art objects, furniture and
particularly fine Oriental rugs.
IF YOU go down town today do
not forget to examine the win
- dow of E. Bradford Clarke Com
pany, 1920 Chestnut street. They
have it filled with canned vegetables,
not just the tin cans stacked in piles
and pyramids, but so cleverly and
appetizingly arranged that you can
not fail to be attracted. On plates
repose samples of each variety. and
by taking a good look you will see
exactly what you are getting before
ordering. You should be glad to
stock up at the special prices they
are being offered. for there is no
predicting from present conditions
how long the country's supply will
last, so much is going abroad, and
it would be deprivation to forego
delicious Tomatoes, big and little
Peas, String Beans, extra thick tip
and full-length Asparagus, and the
young, tender Corn that made Maine
famous.
WHEN you find that the moths
" have dined on the family
woolens, and have made
their dessert on your most elegant
furs. it is too late to wish you had
protected them properly against at
tacks of these pests by packing them
away in the Tarine Garment Bags,
sold at the Housefurnishing Store of
]. Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
street. Made of strong paper. they
come from muff to auto coat size,
30x5x64 inches, and may be used
year after year. After thoroughly
brushing and shaking the garment,
hang it on the hook provided inside
each Tarine Bag. Then slide the
r1n f,h ha -,
pend the bag in the closet by the
outside hook. and you have a moth
and dust proof protection for your
best clothes, and for the others YOU
can buy Tar Balls at the same shop.
PORTFOLIOS have multiplied
and multiplied until they now
meet all requirements, and
those who have grown accustomed
to them would be greatly incon-
venienced were the supply to be sud
denly cut off. Luckily, just the con-
trary is being done. A. Pomerantz
Co., 1926 Chestnut street, having
recently installed an entirely new
line, which comes in various sizes,
from 151ax10 inches to 17x1Oh
inches, and are suited TO the needs
of doctors, lawyers, accountants,
secretaries, students, professors,
musicians, etc. Constructed of the
best quality russell brown or black
hand treated Bride Leather, they
are soft and pliable, yet extra strong
and durable, and contain one to five
pockets, each sewed individually to
its gusset' allowing full play TO the
| same in supporting the contents.
