Sr Curd Normall On. MrOurdu Normell Du. The Buglight Store. It's a Great Bargain Story We Tell To-day Senator Depew recently warned young men not to pursue wealth, but "higher and nobler ideals," which evoked the retort that a "man would look well going to do his family marketing with a bunch of high and noble ideals as collateral." Look well he might, but how he would fare, we can easily imagine. In making many of the offerings hereunder listed, we are certainly not pursuing weath.

Possibly some of those "higher and nobler ideals" are the ends in view. In any event, it calls for mighty little "collateral" to close with opportunities such as these: Silk Bargains Who Can Match Them?
