BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS
It takes years to build a reputation of this character and, we feel very proud of it. Our stock for the present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to

Choosing tbe Men to Root
Out Vice.
New York, Nov 28 ?Organization
of th* citizens' committee of 15 for
tbe suppression of vice will not be
completed before Fridsy or Saturday.
This delay is occasioned by the great
amount of good material rather than
tbe ecsrcity Charles Stcwsrt 8mitb,
to whom was left the appointment of
tbe committee, insists that tbe men
who accept places on the committee
of 15 shall be willing to contribute
liberally of their time. Funds
will be forthcoming in plenty, but
there will be much work to be done,
and this will fall upon tbe com
mitttee members
It is understood that one exception
will be made Former Mayor Abram
S. Hewitt hai declined to serve as a
member of tbe committee for the ret*
son thst he cannot give to the work
the time it deserves Yet so keenly
is it felt that Mr Hewitt's advice
will be almost indispensable that he
will probably be persuaded to re
consider bis refusal
It is possible that tbe committee
will increase in membership to 2f> so
as to take in 10 who may act as ad
visors
