“The Man On The Box,” a Stirring Military
Romance, the Paramount Program
at the Grand on Friday
“The Man on the Box,” which comes
to the Grand Friday (not Thursday,
on account of the engagement of "To
day,” on that day) is another one of
Jesse. L Lasky’s feature photo-dramas
in which Lolita Robertson and Max
Figman are seen in a rollicking, mil
itary romance.
The picture, a Paramount Program,
will be shown in three acts at the
matinee, at 3:30 o’clock, and night, at
8:30. Reserved seat sale goes on at
10 o’clock a day in advance of the
picture, as is the case for Paramount
productions.

“Everything is Marked So
Reasonably"
Never a day passes but we sell many people who
“shop” over the entire city and come back more than satis
fied here.
The difference in price, which is most apparent, when
our goods are compared with others, is real, and due to two
reasons.
1st —We are marking our goods lower this year than
usual, and
2nd—Because, due to our unequaled opportunities for
buying in connection with our affiliated stores, we secure
prices impossible for the single dealer, buying in small
quantities.
All we ask is that you see our goods before you buy.
Look elsewhere if you like, but we know you will make your
purchase here if you only do yourself the justice of seeing
what we have to offer.
