Hastening to Bring Up Heavy
Forces Between Breslau and
Cracow For Advance on the
Vistula River.
London, S:O7 a.m.-—The Petrofd’ad cor
respondent of The Times sends this com
ment on the operations in the Eastern
war theatre:
“Colonel Rhumsky, the milltnry critic,
says that the Germans are hastening to
concentrate a mass of troops between
Hreslau and Cracow in order to advance
on the fight hank of the Vistula anl»
thus compel the Russians to either
evacuate Galicia or to accept a decisive
battle.
"The Germans are displaying an Inor
dinate appetite. Not content with un
dertaking a decisive engagement in Sile
sia they are trying a siege at Ossowetz
at the other end of the strategic front.
"Evidently they are confident of suc
cess at tlie battle in Silesia as they «r*
preparing a route across the River Nie
men. In any case their attempts to
carry out this new and Grandiose,
scheme will lead to a swift denouement."

THIS STORE IS FOR “LOOKERS” AS WELL
AS FOR MEN WHO BUY
We do not expect any man will become interested enough to buy in this store without first looking over
things at his leisure, and perhaps—by comparison—making careful tests of our values. And so we extend
a cordial invitation to “lookers as well as buyers”—glad to see both classes—pleased to show them about and
answer questions or just let them “Mosey around by themselves.”
We believe our furnishings “talk” and that the prospective purchaser can decide for himself quite as well
as if we tried to decide for him by talking ourselves. “Confidence begets confidence”, and that is why we say
“the looker is very welcome here.”

“Dress Does Not Make a Man ,
But It Often Makes a
Successful One."
The great English statesman, Disraeli, is credited with
that quotation. His shrewd insight might easily have seen
the very important part dress was to play in this world.
By this is not meant expensive, but correct dress —clothes
that are faultlessly cut and tailored.
Modern methods make it possible to build clothes and
sell them much more cheaply than ever. Under present
conditions there is no reason why a man of modest income
should not be as well dressed as his wealthy neighbor. A
little care in the selection of the house from which he
shall buy and the trick is turned !

THE SIGN FOR SAVING
Long ago, the coat of arms of a family of money
lenders bore on one of its quarterings the three balls
which pawn brokers use today. Those halls are the
sign of money lenders. So are Surety Coupons the sign
for saving money, and no one knows it better than
those who have been profiting by the opportunity.
Surety Coupons can save you 5 per cent. Make them
