M. 1*1.. , There's Christmas day and . a Christms wedk, and in | keeping up the swing and ] shine oT Christmas throughout . the store until New Year's , Eve we have in4 mind the , thousands whose work and in- | dinations hold them fast and , keep them away from the city until after Christmas day. , Greetings to you all, good j friends ! The high compli- ( ments of the season to the ( busy thinkers and toilers upon whom so much depended in making it a jolly Christmas time. What would be Christ- " mas be but for those first cousins of Santa Claus who hinted to the generous old fellow the very things we were wanting ? Now, then, when all others have been happificd, come along yourselves for a rest. A day or two in the city wjll put new life in you. A little change from the everyday work is a f better tonic than quinine. • When you come to the cityaccept freely whatever of comfort and convenience our store affords. Five minutes after you reach Broad Street Station you are at our door, i It is not necessary to buy something to be welcome. It is a good time to come to the store. All the anxiety I of weeks of preparation and I die strain of the doubly busiest days of the yor are oft and over. F;verybody has had a slee^, and a holiday, an^ *** are all cheerier and {?*\uer to begin anew. It is ,ike the rest at midday under the trees in harvest time ; we are refreshed, and at it again with a will. There's a plenty to see. The store is like a river at die footof a" mountain down whose sides a score die ocean of people, the daily

inletting keeps everything full and fresh. To be sure, after the jostling and hurrying of the last week before Christmas, there's a lot of things dusty and clipped and soiled. There are also things that were broken in the deliveries and returned -by customers . .But then these are put by themselves and sold at seldom more than half price. Whatever the sacrifice, we cannot keep anything but perfect goods for sale. , Whoever buys of us shall depend oo three things —three P's worth remembering: a Perfect goods b Proper Values c Privilege of return The surge and sweep of the Christmas throngs cannot do dtist-damage and make breakages somewhere. - To give an idea of how it take the night before we write, when the crowd was not so large as any one of the two or three nights beOut of curiosity we counted the people that passed a single point in five minutes near the centre entrance on Chestnut street, and there was a full thousand - of them, good humored and happy. To verily the count we repeated the experiment. J and proved the thousand ovef again. A thousand in five minutes ! and six other Targe entrances through which the people were coming ! Would they come if therewas nothing at least worth seeing? If a few goods are hurt in the crowd, we will not grumble. They are for sale soon as Christmas is over fpr what they'll fetch, and the prices put on them bring the customers quickly soon as the gets around. ... They are principally Books _ and Fancy Goods and Handkerchiefs, and the goods used in the windows and other disThere are remnants of 1 Dress Goods to. The accumulation is something enorYou see there's no time in the rush to watch i against remnant making. • Every piece is, cut, and the is stuffed away. Now. comes the overhauling. Out | with the remnants. Sell them, j The lot is immense, and off they must go. The week between Christmas day and the New Year is the harvest time for remnant buyers. While the ''righting up" , in cdrtain holiday departments goes on with all possible zeal, the larger part of the store is in its usual well prepared condition, offering a full stock of the well-tried, accepted makes of merchandise. It is worth knowing that the fundamen- I tal principles of the store are never lost sight of; W e will sprinkle -the best bargains that can be had over all the but without fail we ! shall maintain at all times with all vigilance, the most Efect stock of whatever the t manufacturers of the | world produce. The Star Course of Merchandise is the uninterrupted performance from one year's end to another in this Ameri- " can Academy of Trade.
