F-B Values Unriualed

No clothing house in the Northwest has ever
successfully competed with F-B Values.
That isn't in the cards. To compete with
F-B Values competitors would have to prac-
tice F-B Economies. They would have to
high rents and top-heavy overheads. They
would have to increase their buying power
and turn their stock every 60 days. Because
they cannot do these things we know they
cannot equal FB Values-even approach
them within ten dollars. And thousands of
men know that just as we'll as we do

The Plain Truth

Fahey-Brockman Values are not ap-
preached within ten dollars by competition
for the simple reason that competition is not
organized and operated the F-B way. We
concentrate on rental economies to the tune
of $4,000 year. We concentrate on plain
utilities instead of costly fixtures: We con-
centrate our buying and we buy often in
huge quantities Our 60-day turnover al
lows us to concentrate on permanently low
prices-prices that would break the ordi-
nary merchant We concentrate on a cash
business. We concentrate on intensive sell
ing-not for week or a season but for
every business day in the year.

Duke of Essex Street Becomes
Too Stylish and ReuoIt Bre,us
Riverside Drive, Racing Car and Itchy the Valet
Forgiven, but Now, Would You Believe IT, It's
White Pants, Long Beach House and Society

A rumor which had spread beyond
the marches Of Essex Street to Norfolk
and Ludlow, but was incredulously re-
ceived even by the outlanders of Second
Avenue, was verified yesterday.
Josef Madinski, the most veracious
of all the Madinskis that ever came out
Of Ireland, started the rumor last Sun
day. The Duke OF Essex Street. who
retained his title and his Essex Market
Court practice even after he acquired
ducal suite on Riverside Drive year
or SO ago, was moving in society and
a Palm Beach suit, Josef said, and had
q summer home at Long Beach
Josers comment was brief and bitter.
Nor could the sages of Essex Street
draw from him corroboratory details
which would have satisfied them that
his story was not q mere Irish folk
tale. The Dukes Riverside Drive home
they could swallow, the sages argued
seen it: likewise his Japanese valet,
known to Essex Street as Itchy, for
they had seen him too.
Also they had seen the big automo-
bile with the Yiddish name, and they
could believe that All those things
Joe Levy had and the sages Of Essex
Street knew it. but Palm Beach suit,
Long Beach cottage and society as
pirations--not for Joe Levy; they knew
tEeir Duke.
Would You Believe 1t II 1t Amt
And then, Just as the court attend
ants in Essex Market police court were
bawling Hats off! Order in the
COURT" yesterday morning. the Duke
arrived, vision Of splendor which
completely dumfounded the elders
His big racing car snorted contemp-
tuously as the ignition was switched
off, Itchy leaped nimbly to the curb
and flung open a highly polished door,
and out stepped the Duke, all in white
from toe to crown save for the conven-
tional diamond. White buckskin shoes,
white silk socks, Palm Beach suit and
Panama hat--if it hadn't been for the
$4,000 diamond onlookers scarcely
would have believed it was the Duke
Of Essex Street.
A crowd surrounded him, convinced
Immediately of the reality Of the Long
Beach estate and craning their necks
to see whether some Astor or Wander
bilt was not accompanying the Duke.
Mothers came running with their chill
dren held high in their arms to glimpse
the marvel. Hucksters left their
pushcarts and small boys were too en-
tranced even to notice the opportunity
thus afforded.

his retainers from the running board

Bedtime Stories
The Astonishing Story Told by Tracks
BY Thornton W. Burgess
For sUords there often is no need
To tell the story Of a deed.
Farmer Browns Bow.

Farmer Browns Boy has had many
surprises, but never a greater one
than when he looked for the tracks
OF Billy Mink in the soft earth at
the foot of the tree in the Green
Forest from. which had been stolen a
trout which no had hung there. There
was no doubt in the mind of Farmer
Browns Boy as to who the thief was
He was sure that it was Diliy Mink.
Billy Is very fond Of fish. Billv can
climb tree Billy is veYy clever
and smart. When Farmer Browns
Boy found only the head os his trout
left hanging on the tree he was sure
that Billy Mink had been there.
So when ne looked for tracks at
the foot Of the tree he fully ex-
pected to hnd in The soft. damp
earth the footprints of Silly Mink.
Just as he expected he did find foot
prints. But they were not the foot
prints OF Billy Mink. No, sir, they
were not the footprints of Billy
Mink. They were big footprints,
many. many times larger than Billy
Mink's footprints. They were pointed
and they. were cut quite deeply into
the earth. Only hoofs could have
made such tracks as those.
At first Farmer Browns Boy was
too sstonished 20 even speak. He
stood there and stared with such
a foolish look on his freckled face.
Finally he found his tongue.
'Lightfoot the Deer" he ex-
claimed. "It was Lightfoot the Deer
who stole my trout! Yes, sir, that
is who it was. But who ever heard of
Deer eating fish,"
Farmer Browns Boy began to
study those tracks. He followed them
back short distance. From those
tracks he could read the whole story
of what had happened. Lightfoot
had been wandering about and had
CHANGED to discover Farmer Browns
Boy fishing. Farmer Browns Bow
found the place where Lightfoot had
stood watching him. Probably Light
foot had seen him catch that trout
and hang it on the tree. Then he
had watched him GO off down the
Laughing Brook.
AS soon as he thought it safe to
do so Lightfoot had stolen out of
his hiding place and curiosity had
led him over to see what Farmer
Browns Boy had been doing. The
tracks in the sof... damp earth told
the whole story. He had walked
back and forth in a hesitating way
several times. Finally he had come
close to the tree where the trout

Damage Causes Olympic
To Cancel Two Sailings
White Star Line Finds Fracture
in Sternpost; Passengers To
BE Transferred

The White Star Line yesterday con-
firmed cable reports that two sailings
of the Olympic, on August 2 and %,
have been cancelled because of repairs
necessary to the sternpost, which will
require five or six weeks to complete.
The liner will resume her place in
service with the sailing Of September
13 from Southampton. She will sail
next from New York on September %.
The cancellation, it was said, is due
to the fact that when the ship was
placed in drydock for her usual mid
summer overhaul, fracture was dis
covered in her sternpost. Passengers
for the vessel in August will be trans
ferred to the Majestic, Homeric or
other White Star liners.
