ONLY THREE
DAYS
ARE LEFT
Next week when you have decided to buy one of
PHILLIPS & CREW CO.’S Pianos at the Special
Prices it will be too late—other wiser people will
have captured all of them.
One customer who looked last week at a piano
costing $275.00 was surprised yesterday to find the
same instrument marked down to $225.00, and she
promptly bought it. Next week the same piano will
be $275.00—the usual lowest price.
Two splendid bargains were added today — A
FISHER PIANO IN OAK, fine upright piano for
which we regularly get $375.00. Marked special
this week $200.00. A STERLING COLONIAL Up
right Piano in beautiful Mahogany—regular price
$400, marked this week $250.00.
The wonder is that at such prices we have any of
them left, but the terrible storm of wind and rain
kept many ladies from coming to buy. Out-of-town
people are sending in money with their orders—
trusting to get the piano of their selection or an
other just as good.
We will sell every one of these Pianos this week,
for the prices talk.
Only Three Days Remain.

IIRTHPLACE OF OLD GLORY
GIVES HONOR TO THE FLAG.
By Private Leaned Wire.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 14.—Proba
bly In no other city of the country la
Hag (lay no generally obaerved aa In
Philadelphia, and quite naturally, for It
»«* In thla city that the flag waa given
birth. Congreaa, aaaembled at Inde
pendence hall Iff yeara ago, reaolved:
"That the flag of the thirteen Unltfd
State*-be thirteen atripea, alternate red
•nd white: that the Union be thirteen
•<»", white In a blue Held, repreaent-
Ihg the new conatellatlon.”
At the beginning of the revolutionary
*ar. and with the formal repudiation
Of the flag of St. George and the
> ntor Jack of England, there waa no
American flag under which the Im
pending battlea were to be fought.
There were conglomerate colonial flag,
and here and there a private banner
or some great landed proprietor, but no
recognized American flag.
..There wag no little worrlment over
oils fact, and the. Continental or Con-
rederate congreaa aet about agreeing
“pon the form, character and general
Purport of one. Congreaa accordingly
appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomaa
i-ynrh and Benjamin Horriaon aa a
committee to agree upon and formally
report a flag design.
A ear the ctoae of the year 1775 they
reported In favor of adopting the Brit'
lah Union Jack, plua thlrtcei
Washington wanted a flva-polnted atar
added; others were Inclined to adopt a
modified fortn of the Dutch flag, with
Its broad red atripea.
Finally, on June 14, 1777, congrees
agreed upon a flag of thirteen atripea
with thlrtsen atara on a blue Bela, thus
appropriating a little here and a little
there until the atar and the etripe and
the colors, red,white and blua, apepared
upon the banner, and the “Stars and
Stripes" became the Insignia of the re
public. Of course, every one recalls
the work of Betsy Rosa, who no doubt
suggested much aa well as did the sew>
Ing of the flrat flag.
At the Betsy Roaa house, ZM Arch
street, the national anthem waa sung
today by school chldren and addresses
appropriate to the day made by rep
resentative. of varloue patriotic socie
ties. The house has been turned over
to the Federal government by the
American Flag House and Betty Boas
.Memorial Association, and will be
maintained aa a fiubllc memorial and
museum of colonial and revolutionary
relics.
