The Safe Stores To Pin Your Faith to because the goods are invariably ofhigh grade and dependable, because our prices are right. The good service keeps the people coming here. There would not be so many buyers if we did not have “good things” to get. The trade is learning more and more of the benefits to be derived from buying of us. Increasing our business is simply giving our customers what they want. Our immense stocks comprise everything the market affords at prices everybody can afford. Spending and saving are with us synonyms and light pocketbooks are made heavy often times by our “change back” bargains. Small sales as well as large receive and merit courteous attention. Low prices are better arguments to economy's purse than many pages of talk. Our values do their own talking. They appeal with stronger forces to the economical buyer than a paper full of talk with nothing back of it. If you watch your spendings, you should watch our offerings. We consider the goodness of goods more important than the poorness of prices. This business follows its own leadership, none other to follow. We want nothing to leave our stores— dollars or cents worth- that will not be loyal to our earnest endeavor to have satisfied customers.

SENIOR PLAY The School for Scandal -Sheridan. CASTE OF CHARACTERS Sir Peter Teazle Sir Oliver Surface Sir Benjamin Backbite Sir Harry Bumper Joseph Surface Charles Surface Crabtree Rowley Careless Moses Snake Lady Teazle Lady Sneerwell Mrs. Candour Maria Servant Herschel Baker John Biggs Kenneth Wilson Earle Hines Paul Fisher Joe Moore Merton Suffern Beryl Quick Joe Cogdal Joe Wyeth Joe Cogdal Mary Colyer Maude Weatherholt Helen Davis Annie Laurie Suffern Floyd Wildman SYNOPSIS The School for Scandal is a play written during the period when the fashionable society of England was made up largely of people who spent their time creating and circulating small talk and scandal causing no end of mischief and trouble. The purpose of the play was to bring before these people a view of the life they were leading and thus bring to ridicule this work of scan-dalization. Charles Surface, a profligate young gentleman, the ward of Sir Peter Teazle, is in love with Maria, but the union is opposed by Sir Charles because of the character and recklessness of Charles. Joseph Surface, the suave and much admired brother of Charles is also in love with Maria and he, with Lady Sneerwell, an attractive widow with a passion for Charles, is endeavoring to break up the affair between Maria and Charles. Just at this time. Sir Oliver Surface, the wealthy uncle of the young men, returns from India and in disguise tests the character of each of his nephews which, together with the domestic difficulties of Sir Peter and Lady Teazle, disclose the plots of Lady Sneerwell and Joseph. As a result of this revelation Sir Peter and Lady Teazle are reconciled, Charles is vindicated and all objections to his union with Maria are withdrawn.
