OFFICE OF Steasseege'4 GloteeI eights and market 8t8., Philadelphia, September sjth, 1885. TO THE PUBLIC: "1 Especially of the States of Pennsylvania; f New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware J Wc have the pleasure to announce that our arrangements for the business of the present season, long considered and most carefully made, are now complete, and wc respectfully invite the people from far and near to call on us, and inspect our enlarged facilities for doing business and the superb Stock wc arc prepared to exhibit in every department." The increase in our business, which has been large and constant for ycats, has been greater than ever during the past twelve months, and wc have, therefore, felt*" justified in making extraordinary and unprecedented preparations for the coming sea- •' ■-. son, not in the magnitude of the stock, but in the facilities for its distribution, as well as arrangements for the most prompt and careful service of our patrons in every way. During thp Summer we have added another building on lvighlh street to our storerooms. and this alteration, just completed, while' it adds considerably, though not largely to our space, enables us to make certain changes in the disposition of stocks, which economizes room and in other ways adds largely to the comfort and convenience of our patrons. All our buildings have been renovated and freshened during the Suifitncr, and now, with the above alterations completed and our arrangements consummated, including the receipt of the most magnificent stock it has ever been our privilege to gather, we invite the public to call and inspect the jiuildings and examine the stock, which in the aggregate and detail will, wc believe, compare favorably with anv that has ever been placed on sale under one roof in America. This huge stock approximating TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in value in DRY GOODS ALONE, has bj.cn most carefully selected by a large corps of skiHful buyers, in the best markets of "the world, and it is needless to add has been purchased EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASH Every advantage that experience, skill and abundant capital can secure has, we believe, been secured for our patrons this season and coupled with these advantages is a dctcr- ■ initiation to serve them in such a way as to receive their constant and abiding patronage. It is our aim, as it is the aim of all business mcfci Myiake money, and yet sot so much to make mosev as to do business in the best wa* to be successful in the highest sense; to render the most efficient service to the largest number ; to adhere rigidly tQAfld lead iu our specu*%»usincss ; to do the largest and the best and ther most 'gentrously conducted retail dry goods business in the United States; to lay the foundation of that business broad and deep and sure. Here, in Philadelphia, the city of homes, with its million of population, surrounded by a country unsurpassed, if equalled anywhere for fertility and culivation, and populated by other millions of thrifty and intelligent people, here wc conceive is the place to build up such a business — a business that truly serves the people and with every increase in its size and facilitates only more widely and efficiently renders that service to a greater number. Wc believe no large and permanent success can be achieved on any other basis than that \tc have indicated, of rendering better service than can be had elsewhere; of deservinj success by reason of rendering this service faithfully; of making it a cardinal principle to give at least as much %s is received ; to ensure and to be satisfied with nothing less than a mutuality of benefit between the house and its-great constituency the country over. This is our aim and purpose. Wc ask the people to join with us in establishing such a business, and wc ask for patronage on no other grounds.

I - Respectfully submitting our claims to a discerning public, wc hereby extend a general invitation to call on us from this date, to view the buildings and inspect the business methods of i8sj. (Signed :) STRAWBRIDGE & CLOTHIER.
