I do not propose to discuss this question in any of itn phases at thin time, but the purpose of thin loiter Is to emphasize the importance of the issue, ant to ch!1 upon the pro hibitionists to appoint a day for n meeting at the court h o use in Canv den thut they may organize into an effective working force. We esn not expect the best results without effort, organized etfoit, ?r.d we should not list' content until the fight for freedom from the thraldom of liquor is carried into every pre cinct of the county. 1 suggest, Mr. Kditor, that Sat urday, May 15th, be appointed fori the prohibition mass meeting tn Camden, and that eleven o'clock a. id. be the hour for convening If this dale for any reason should not bo desirable, then sug gest a suitable day in the near fu ture, and lei us get to work.

'?Cheapness," says a noted writer, 4iis a little better tban passing counterfeit money, ? but only a little. It robs your customers of the value they have been lead to expect they would receive from their purchase, and it usualty ends by rob bing you ot customers. Quality is really the only foundation upon which to build a business, because it gives customers their money's worth, lull value, cent for cent, and it brings them back season after season." THAT IS WHY WE TALK QUALITY AND SELL QUALITY I Take our showing of High Art Clothing, for instance, tor Kail and Winter: go through our immense stock, pick out any suit containing the High Art label, and you can feel as sure of your money's worth as with a government bond, for High Art Clorhing is "quality" clothing made inequality" shops, by "quality" tailors, sold, by ' quality" stores, and worn by men of quality. There is eubstancial worth in High Art frabrics There is correct fashion in High Art styles There is lasting shape in High Art workmanship There is a guarantee with the High Art label There is money's worth in High Art prices These prices send a hufry-call to all value-seeking buyersl HIRSCH BROS & CO THE BIG STORE.
