McHENRY, You can see for yourself that the clothes we make have a distinc­ tion in style and tailoring, which is quite unusual. There is an­ other fact about our goods which gives them a unique position among clothes. We use'none but all wool fabrics, and that means in these days when cotton adul­ terations are the common, al­ most universal, rule in clothes makes a quality distinction which is very significant.

"!*o lire that when thy summona comes to join Tne lnuumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take II Is chamber In the sileut halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, St'ourKwl to his dungeon, but, sustained ana soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like out* who wraps the drapery of his couch A bout him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." This quotation has certainly a beanti fill charm. Jnst as beautiful thoughts may be gleamed from the writings of Bryant, so may they be gleamed from the writings of our other great Aineri can poets as Longfellow, Lowell and Holmes. Who but may consider this a jewel to adorn a thoughtful mind: '•"Not what we give but what we share, For the gift without the giver Is bare, Who gives himself with his alms feeds three Himself, bis hungering neighbor and me." also: "Tell me not, in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream! . For the soul is dead that slumbers And things are not what they seem. Life Is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul." We learn from Franklin to be in­ dustrious and to be self-supporting, and not to be dependent upon others, but to always be ready to help others. There are also very, very good jewels that can be gleaned from American literature because they have to do with every day life. They are expressed in many of Franklin's proverbs as: "God helps them that help them selves." "What we call time enough always proves little enough." "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." "One today is worth tvfo tomorrow." The beet treasures of all are gathered from the Bible. The Bible, also known as the Word of God, tells us about the life and teachings of Christ, and to know about the life and teachings of Christ is the greatest treasure one can glean from any kind of literature. A treasure reaped from the Bible may be compared with a diamond, the most precious gem of all. For as the beauty of a diamond is seen in its sparkling, so may the beauty of a treasure, gathered from the Bible, be seen in the beautiful thoughts gleaming from it. "Yea, tho I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fe4r no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me," "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." "Lay np for yourselves treasure* in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break thru nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be al­ so." "Blessed are the pnre in heart, for they shall see God." "Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God." "Blessed are they which are persecut­ ed for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The best treasure is, as I have tried to express, the meaning one obtains from the quotation. It is not the committing of extracts, but it is the understanding of the thoughts which the}' contain. Thus when one gathers such stores from the great fields of literature, he will have something that will always be with him and something that he will never regret.
