Merchants in the vicinity have com- plained lately of apparent attempts to | rob their stores, and Capt. O'Brien has | had a squad of plain clothes men watching the precinct. Detectives Car- mody, Scheffler and Birmingham were on watch, They saw a man driving away from in front of Miller's with a load of goods, They chased the man to Walker Street, where they forced him to surren- @@r at the point of revolvers. Mr. Miller {entitied Herman as a man who applied to him recently for a job as an em-/ olderer. He thinks the man came to ny where the yaluable goods were that he might get at them more easily at night.

Activity accelerates the circulation medium of the store, and special prices make the trade-nerves tingle. Testi- mony to these statements spreads over this page. It is an Occasion Extraordinaire. Never- theless, store relations are so ad- justed that deliberate selection of regular goods may be made in any of the great stocks with perfect ease and comfort. Spe- cial bargains are offered either in the Under-Price Store or in the ample spaces of usual depart- ments. Bargain tables are not in the main aisles. Points In We fees ® sympathy _ wit! Our Policy either sensation or stagnation. We are not ashamed to own good bargains in goods nor to offe: them. The stupid dilettantism that “would*make the absence of true cheap- ness the hall-mark of respectable retai! ing has no place in our theories, Stich notions are archaic, It is too late in aus trade history of the world for good ains to be a reprogel wey, are a he it, aglory. We havea good, honest pride in the statements that are printed in our parallel columns, It is the lively, not the “deadly parallel.” Perspective of In round fig- ures the stocks Today's Bargains ol coodeowisd by this store to-day are worth Five Mil- lions of Dollars. Our Philadelphia store holds a larger amount. Every dollar's worth of goods in both stores is intend- ed for retatl sales. We think that state- ment cannot be matched. So much for thy perspective. pproximately the bargain offerings of t a lay are worth a quarter of a million -dollars, five per cent. of the total or two er cent. of the grand total. That’s the round, fferings sensational! Not a bit. The statements are strong, but they are sensible and sound, reasonable and ra- tional, correct and creditable.

Before Spring you will be paying more for things, Why bargains now? » Because of exceptions. Because we need room. Because we love activity.
