A sincere effort to make our service worth while to you
is making us a host of friends.
If our idea of service had been restricted to the ex-
change of so much ice for so much money, we could have
never kept pace with Sherman.
If our service to you is not satisfactory, tell us about it;
give us a chance to eliminate the trouble. We will thank you.

And now come the new Wirthmor Waists
for Fall until values even more ‘
remarkable than in the past.
1
Of the many virtues of Wirthmor Waists the one that
endears them to their numberless wearers perhaps more
than any other is their newness of style. In fact, the Wirth-
mor label is an assurance always, not only of the new, but
the newest style. They are always designed just previous
to their shipment to us—they come so frequently and sell so
rapidly that there’s never anything old among them. And
now the early fall models are here—in styles that forecast
the coming mode.
Come in and buy a new Wirth-
mor tomorrow, ’they'll likely
not be here the day after......

Wirthmor Waists are sold in just one good store in every city.

One of the funniest of the funniest
tills week Is Mr. Chaplin's latest The
Count, which Is tat the old business of
wholesale laugh-making. It has story,
speed and spontaneity. The fun Is
not forced—it just bubbles out. A
good deal of originality prevails and
utter respectability. Some squeamish
folks may take exception to Mr. Chap-
lin holding his nose while eating
strong cheese, scratching his head with
his fork and washing his oars in
watermelon juk'e nt the table, But
these vulgarities pass quickly and can
be forgotten In the stress of the high
comedy of the soup and the dance.
Miss Purvlanoe, all dressed up, Is or-
namentally among those present, as are
many other folk, making it a symph-
ony affair instead of a solo. Mr.
Chaplin has his capacity for serious
playing, but he Is foremost as a clown
and here lie clowns superbly. s25-lt
