Memphis flung wide her doors Mon
day morning in cordial welcome to the
thousands Of visitors who had arrived
as the advance throngs of the other
thousands who are expected to join
her own citizens during the week in
celebrating the hundredth anniversary
Of the founding Of the city.
Flags and bunting fluttered from
every building in the downtown dis
trict, festoons of vari-colored bunting
were hung from every available spot
and the crashing Of music from half
dozen bands emphasized the fact that
the beginning of week of entertain-
ment, as well as one of historic interest
rad begun. The overcast skies did not
dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds
which assembled early on the streets,
Eor the patriotism of those who took
part in the ceremonies of the opening
day of the centenary celebration.
1t is evident from the throngs which
poured into the city on every railroad
train, and who came from nearby cities
and communities In automobiles, that
in point of attendance, the celebration
, will probably break number of records.
The history of Memphis and her
growth from little river hamlet to
great metropolis, the center of an
industrial and agricultural empire
which rivals any in the world, will be
told in addresses and depicted in his
torlcal pageantS during the week.

MAKE WAY
FOR
THE LIVE STORE

THE LIVE STORE
This is the age of speed plus
service This is a day when men
Plus Method are doing over
night what our forefatherS were
contented to do in months or
years.
This is day of action toward
satisfaction. This is the day
when the store that looks be-
yond the dollar mark is passing
the shop Of bunk and bargains
at express train speed.
This is why the Stein Store
leads and is increasing it's bust
ness by leaps and bounds.
First we look beyond the al
might dollar in serving our
customers. Everything we sell
must have quality. We never
ask a manufacturer how cheap
his article is, we want to know
how good it is made.
This is another big FEATURE
we get the new things and we
get them first. We do not try
to put anything over on the
trade by telling how desirable
a style is after it has been worn
to death for the last year. Our
suits are worth the price we
ask, all the time, year in and
year out. We guarantee our
prices are the same everyday.
The one big feature of our en-
tire organization is that we have
the stock from which you may
make your selections.
We are not doing business on
the swish I could style" We
have the stock and lots of it and
getting new things every day.
In this store you get quality
style--assortme - servlces-- ana
the right price. The price is
governed by quality. The quail
ity is not governed by price as
in other stores.
For this reason our store is the
most reasonable place to trade
