Gentlemen Some months ago I purchased an
American Manual Training outfit for my boy. We
are much pleased with It. Mr. Beardsley method
Is admirable. I believe heartily in manual training,
for it Is my onvlctfon that when a boy has
learned to hit a nail squarely It will be easier to do
the same thing when It comes to intellectual and
moral things. Very sincerely,

"Peculiarities"
A Portland (Or.) man tells a good story in a leading
Eastern publication that forms a good application for
a store "editorial.' It runs thusly: "A gentleman
who was in the habit of stuttering was asked why he
Everybody h-h-h-has his p-p-p-peculiarities,' replied
did so. 'Th-th-th-that's my p-p-peculiarity.
the gentleman.
" 'I have no peculiarities,1 said the inquirer.
" 'D-d-d-don't you s-s-s-stir your t-t-tea with your right hand?' 'Yes.
" 'Well, t-t-that's your p-p-p-p-p-peculiarity. Most p-p-p-p-people u-u-use a spoon.' "
Yes we all have our peculiarities stores have theirs. It's a peculiarity of ours that we want
to give our patrons best service. Most intelligent service. We aim to employ the most skilled
helpers, the most pleasing salespeople. We aim to instruct them in the. art of being pleasing to
you; of 'building a character and good health for themselves; of never misrepresenting, even tho'
they lose a sale by telling the TEUTH. We aim t0 make them cheerful, that theymay spread a
cheerful atmosphere about them. In short, we aim to help every person in our employ to better
himself or herself physically, financially and morally. We endeavor to show them their own pos
sibilities, to help them to HELP THEMSELVES; to elevate the" profession they are engaged in.
Wouldn't you prefer to be waited on by INTELLIGENCE rather than by STUPIDITY? Wouldn't
you rather look up to the clerk who serves you and admire his or her CHARACTER that refused
to deceive you, tho' a one-time Bale might depend on his doing so rather than feel a distrust and
abhorrence of the person whom you know to be wholly without PRINCIPLE, who comes forward to
wait on you when you enter a store? The former means BUSINESS BUILDING, the latter pre
historic storekeeping. The former is "Scientific Salesmanship," made up of TRUTHFULNESS
and APPLIED KNOWLEDGE. Which do YOU prefer reader? To associate with Intelligence or
Ignorance when shopping? We prefer to surround you with the former. Some stores don't care
or prefer the latter. That's their "PECULIARITY."

Every hat has the chic and
smart effect of an Imported
Parisian pattern hat that
leaves tne ODDS, WORTMAN

many instances we copy Paris

well established Is our reputation for exclusive
models that no woman Is satisfied to select an
