before moving to Our New Quarters at the corner oM 6th and Douglas streets (Opposite Brandeis' Store) we have resolved to conduct a big and eventful
AUCTION SAIL IE
At Our Store, 115 South Sixteenth Street
This is our last effort' to close out the large, up-to-date
Jewelry stock, .wiiiqh we had on hand when both the necessity
and opportunity for a greater store became pressing and evi
dent. Much of our spring display already had arrived, but it
must all be sacrificed now on account of the Important change,
which we are about'.to make.
Thus we are in a position to offer' our many friends AN
UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOB BABE AND
RIDICULOUSLY LOW BABGAIT PUBCHASES, compris
ing an absolutely unsurpassed and high class selection of lead
ing makes in Watches and beautiful Jewelry designs, also the
best established manufacturers in Silverware known to the
world, and in fact every article in our old and well established
store.
In our case the auction is brought about by the desire to
escape the expensive and ruinous labor generally connected
with moving a valuable and intricate display.
ANY ABTICLE IN THE CASES OB ON THE SHELVES
WILL BE BROUGHT OUT FOB AUCTION DURING THE
COMING WEEK. YOU MAY SELECT ANY ARTICLE YOU
DESIBE OFFERED AT ANY TIME.
REMEMBER: The Auction Sale Commences Monday at 10 O'clock

In literature the Uly holds a queenly
placeT la days of old romance, when
minstrels and troubadours wandered up
and dowm.tne land, they sang the praises
of the faire ladyeand her hand of lily
white. We are made to realise that she
was a "condescending mistress," aad they
lli;ed the Idea of her fragility, her dainty
helpieasne?. I am glad the days have
by whew womss "wrung their lily
white hand" It la much better to have
her work with her "bonny brown hands."
English poetry la toll at the Illy, from
dear San Chaucer tn his "Canterbury
Tales" down te Dante Gabriel Rossettt
In "The Blessed Daraoxel." Spencer clings
gallantly to the "lily hand." In -The
Falrie Queen" we have the "rompln?
lion" and fas with helpless lily bands.
And the mystical newer was a part ef
his far-en fairy anrdesv Sfaaktpeare
often mentions the Illy, and from him
we have the Immortal expression, "Te
gild refined geld, to paint the Uly."
Strange how the poets always use the
Illy and the rose as complementary
flowers. Both are the symbols of the
Virgin Mary, and together seem to round
out their Ideas of earthly beauty. Milton
speaks of
The Illy and the rose.

The lilies and langoura of virtue
And roses snd raptures ot vice.

verses. No English poet would be left

perfect flower. But Tennyson Is beyond
all others the poet of the flowers. It

Thorean Is poet laureate of the pond
Uly. and he says: "How translty the
beauty of the Uly and the rose! The
highest, Intensest color belongs to the
land flower, the purest, perchance, to
the water. It Is the emblem of purity,
the resurrection ot virtue!" A modern
writer gives us a rare word picture of
the Madonna Uly: "It Is the sacred
flower of the mystlo orient; Its suave,
haunting odors set me dreaming. Frag
rance aa of jasmine, honeysuckle and
gardenia; redolences as of cascaiilla and
clove carnation; spices ss of bessoin and

and float all around the garden. Then
the perfect poise of Its flower cluster,
nodding from the tapering stslk, the re
finement and beauty ot Its spotless
bloom. Individual, yet romantic among
flowers memories of old gardens of our
childhood, thoughts of warm summer
days, pictures of dreams ladles pacing
the garden alleys, echoes of a whlppor

If Other things be
ing equal, the tire
that is mo easily
and mo cheaply
repaired is the
mo& economical
tire to buy.'
AS a matter of fact other things are
i not equal. Diamond Tires not
only give greatest mileage, but they
are as much superior lnJRepair
ability as they are in Mileage.
C Any repair man will tell you that a re
pair put in a Diamond Tire will stick but
that he cannot guarantee a patch on any
other tire, that even should you cut or
smash a Diamond Tire hard enough to
break the fabric, the injury is only local
and can be repaired. The same accident
would ruin any other tire beyond repair.
T. Diamond Tires suffer less severe in
juries than any other tire, and when they
are injured it costs less to repair them.
C The most important point about a tire is quality,
the type is secondary. Diamond Tires are made
in oil types, all sixes, and to tit every style of rim.
You can fet in Diamond Tires any type that you
want, and in any Diamond Tire that you choose
you will get what no other tire can give you-..
the Greatest Mileage and the best service that can
je built into a tire of that type.
In addition to depenaame dealers every,

more than merely sellini tiresit means
