It is always doing something new. 3--During the past year it has issued millions of “S, & H.” Green Trading Stamps to its customers, 4--Tire are, 80 complete stores under its mammoth roof, and each is splendidly stocked with seasonable merchandise, superior in character, and yet priced as moderately as trustworthy goods can be marked. 5--The Store is in other respects also one of the wonders of the metropolis, It possesses many unrivalled advantages. It is marvellously spacious; the ceilings are the highest in,the city. The lighting and ventilating arrange- ments are perfect. The aisles are roomy, and shopping, no matter how great the throngs. at all times satisfactorily comfortable. Books. Notions. Stamps as a feature of its business a year ago it did so only after the idea had been ' analytically and exhaustively studied. ; s ‘W é wanted to give our customers the best Trading Stamp and-the best Premiums Wik the Siegel Cooper Company introduced Sperry & Hutchinson Green Trading in existence. We decided,upon-the Sperry & Hutchinson stamp, for it stood every inquiry and test satisfactorily: As we said at that time: if “The Siegel Cooper. Store would certainly not take such a radical step were it not. fully convinced that the idea will be enthusiastically indorsed and patronized by countless numbers of Peopte The Green Trading Stamp plan possesses: many advantages. With no greater expenditure for your needs, perhaps less, you gradually accumulate a great many things, useful and ornamental, which have cost you absolutely nothing, but which you otherwise would not have possessed unless you paid cash for them,” No sooner was this news made'public than the shopping world began to show an extraordinary degree of interest. And this interest was national as well as local. : Thousands upon thousands of people began to collect the Sperry & Hutchinson Green Trading Stamps, not doubtfully, not exrorimentany, but with a strong belief in their, f value, and subsequently an' adequate realization of their worth. These Stamps are not scattered broadcast in any harum-scarum manner. They ¥ are much too valuable for that. They are given judiciously, conservatively; and when, as in this instance, you obtain three dollars’ worth free in addition to the regular numbtr with every dollar’s worth of goods bought at the Siegel Cooper Store (see the Coupon), the occasion becomes an event of dignified importance. j SilK Gloves.
