NEW YORK, February 23.—An- nouncement was made today that the Henry Clay Frick reference. library, designed as a supplement to the art collection the financler left to the city, is fast nearing completion at the: Frick mansion, in 5th avenue, and will soon be ready for presenta- tion. More than 15,000 items have been collected, classified and filed by a force of trained librarians, research workers and assistants, who have thelr headquarters in the Frick home. - The library is being modeled after that of Sir Robert Witt, in London, said to be the only other art refer- ence library of the kind in the world. It will ultimately contain a photo- and drawings of western artists as distinguished from oriental and, for the present, only works produced after the twelfth century will be in- cluded. Representaifons of the plastic rians and research workers, a corps of workers is in London and Paris collecting material, photographs and data of public and private collections. In both this country and in Europe photographs are being made of paint- ings and drawings that have never before been so recorded. Much labor is involved in the collection of au- thentic infoymation on the “adven- tures” of various works. The library, when presented to the city by Mrs. Frick, will be of as- sistance to art students, connoisseurs, collectors, critics, writers and stu- dents of costumes, manners, archi- tecture and decoration of periods. —_ ISSUES CALL TO PRUSSIA. “Where every stone speaks we dare not remain silent.

The story - ‘of the sale ’Most every merchant and manufac- turer aims to close out all goods in sea- son, regardless of cost. : But this business hasn’t grown by sticking to a groove—we’ve broken new trails in merchandising; found our growth in unoccupied territory. You want to see these overcbats; they have the substance of fine woolens and the skill of fine tailoring; they have the character of their class. You’ll find everything you want here—a com- plete representation from three of our best makers. —Snappy new ulsters and ulsterettes. —Swagger great coats; and auto coats. —Dignified Chesterfields, and everything else. Plain coats; full and half-belted coats. Solid color materials; double-faced fabrics; rich mix- tures; handsome tweeds. The time to buy is when some one else wants to sell, and in season or out of sea- son we will back our judgment with cold cash to benefit ourselves and customers. Identical coats sold here all season long at $35 to $55; identical coats must sell next winter at the . That’s the story behind these over- A e 2% coats at $25. We dared to buy 1,283 of these coats—all our makers had—be- cause our judgment is that these over- coats represent the biggest saving that can come to you or to us in years, . For our makers produce no coats to sell for less, and quality woolens and workmanship can never go below a certain cost. All regular sizes from 33 to 46, with a fair assortment of stout and long sizes. 2 The coats are here for you to see, to examine, to try on.
