Buying in the Basement
By JOHN ". LAIRD
Director of Research
THE PALAIS ROYAL, Inc.


BUYING IN THE BASEMENT has it's
distinct advantages to the purchaser.
First of all, the BASEMENT is accessi-
bic. Wide stairways leading from the
main floor and the running of all the ele-
vators to the BASEMENT during the An
niversary Sale will give an accessibility
to the BASEMENT that will make it posi-
BILE for our patrons to do their purchasing
with the least possible effort.
Moreover, the BASEMENT has become
one of the most popular sections of the
store. Some of our most conservative
patrons have found it altogether to their
advantage to buy BASEMENT merchan-
disc because of the unusual values that
are offered constantly, and especially dur
ing the sales The Ninth Anniversary
Sale will find the BASEMENT more popu-
lar than ever.
Furthermore the BASEMENT as an in
tegral part of the Palais Royal is emf
nently successful. We all prefer to patron
nine years that the BASEMENT has Offer
ed sales, there has been steady progress
in every department Again, the reason
for this is the phenomenal values that the
BASEMENT offers.
Another reason for the increasing de-
mand for BASEMENT merchandise is the
newness and freshness of the BASEMENT
stock. This will be especially true in the
Anniversary Sale which begins tomorrow.
Every BASEMENT buyer has come back
from the New York and New England
markets with a line of merchandise that
will surprise the buying public. Nothing
shoddy, nothing cast-of, nothing old will
be offered at any time during the sale.
The Anniversary purchases will be new,
up -to-the-minute merchandise at the low
est possible price.
The Director of Research has person
ally seen and inspected the merchandise
that the BASEMENT buyers have bought
for the Anniversary Sale, and he marvels
at the quality, style, freshness and price
ofitall. The public is to be congratulated.
Whatever may be weather conditions or
the possible embarrassment of current
economic pressure, the Palais Royal ex-
poets that the Ninth Anniversary Sale will
be the greatest BASEMENT sale in the
history of the store.

DYNAMITE
To TAKE HIS
OWN LIFE
Bachelor, Long in Poor
Health, Blows Himself to
Bits on Mountain Top.

DENVER, Sept. 17.--Bringing to
horrible reality his prediction
that it will not be necessary to
bury me; I'll blow myself to pieces"
zebulon Montgomery Pike, fifty.
one. of Morrison, Colo. committed
suicide by holding a charge Of
dynamite in his hand.
Pike, a bachelor and long a vic
tim of poor health, stood on the
summit of Mount Glennon, over
looking Morrison, his home for
many years, as he touched off the
fuse to a stick of dynamite that
blew one arm off and badly mutt
lated his body.
With a clear view to the south
of Pixies Peak, the towering noun
tain of the Rockies that bears the
name of the suicide and which was
discovered by and named for his
granduncle, Brigadier General Zubu-
lon Montgomery Pike, the sick man
met his death in manner some
what similar to his famous fore
bear, who was killed during the
war of 1912 between the United
States and Great Britain, when a
powder magazine exploded at the
siege Of York now Toronto.)
Residents Of Morrison heard the
dull boom of dynamite charge late
one afternoon, but attributed it to
road construction crews, or quarry.
