THE EXCLUSIVE WOMENS' SHOP
FOR DISTINCTIVE OUTERGARMENTS
Five years ago we opened our doors to the Philadel-
phia Public — the only women's shop devoting energy to
the exclusive production of distinctive outergarments. *
Our policy and principle inevitably right — Our ex-
pectations exceeded; prompted the further opening of
stores in Buffalo and Brooklyn in addition to our large
New York establishment that women of discerning taste
bid welcome eight years ago-
The predominating factor in our progress has been
the concentration of purchasing power, the economies due
to specializing; and the largest distributors in America.
Every conceivable pronouncement of fashion from
Paris and European Centres is embodied in the Oppen-
heim, Collins & Co. garments for the appreciative women
of style.
A notable showing in each Department of models
from the foremost fashion designers and manufacturers
in their respective lines. The embodiment of ail that is
refined and beautiful and all characterized by their mod-

THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
Seventh Graduation at the National
Farm School
May 31, 1908
Over five hundred friends of The National Farm School trav-
eled in a special train from Philadelphia to Farm School, Pa., to
participate in the graduating exercises of the Seventh Class of The
National Farm School and to consecrate memorial trees in memory
of deceased benefactors of the school, on the school grounds.
Two sessions were held over which Congressman J. Hampton
Aloore, of Pennsylvania, presided. After the invocation by Rabbi
J, Stern, of New York, father of one of the graduating class. Dr.
Jos. Krauskopf, President of the School, introduced the Chairman
of the day. Congressman J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania.
In taking the chair. Congressman Moore said that this was
distinctly a farmer's occasion. The farmer\was strong by reason
of his cultivation of the soil. When the millworker is idle the
farmer goes into his cellar for the smoked meats he has stored
away for the dull season. The farmer and the manufacturer are
the two great bread-winning factors upon which our 85,000,000
people must rely. The Congressman declared that the farmer was
the mainstay of modern civilization. "The lawyer may deal with,
his legal controversies ; the soldier may march out to battle, and
the sailor may take his place on the high seas, but they are not
producers."
Mr. Moore then introduced the speaker of the day. State
Treasurer, John O. Sheatz, Mr. Sheatz said that the State of
Pennsylvania, instead of being interested in one such worthy in-
stitution as The National Farm School, should' have, at least, six
such schools, located in different sections of the State, and should
appropriate sufficient funds to enable them to be carried on in a
progressive, successful and satisfactory manner.
"While the people of our State," he continued, "feel proud of
their industries and her great manufacturing plants and the de-
velopment of her natural resources — which are greater than those
of any other State in the Union — still, when you look for the posi-
tive, dependable and continuous revenue producing industry, we
must turn to the farm, for the farming industry, established
at the very beginning of the development of our magnificent coun-
try, will continue when our natural resources are exhausted and
6 SEVENTH GRADUATION AT THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
when every stick of timl:)cr has been cut from tlic timbcrlands and
forests of our country.""
Deputy Commissioner of Forestry, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Irvin
C. Williams, spoke of the work of The National Farm School in
training young' men in a practical knowledge of tree culture.
Practical education of this nature would not only provide a career
for the graduates of the school, but would prove of vast benefit
to the State, as the forestry question was to-day of the liveliest
interest to the Commonwealth and the Nation. !Mr. Williams
made a plea for forest preserves as an aid to the inland waterway
movement, and explained the efforts being made by the Pennsyl-
vania Forestry Commission. Young men who are to be graduated
from competent agricultural schools, where they are taught the
correct principles and practices of scientific agriculture, have be-
fore them boundless opportunities, and one of these principles is
the rapid restoration of the State to a tree-covered condition on
non-agricultural lands.
j\lr. Adolph Eichholz, a member of the Board of Directors,
since the founding of the school, then delivered an eloquent tribute
to the departed friends and benefactors of the School, in whose
memory trees were consecrated at the conclusion of the morning
meeting. "Many phases of life," said Mr- Eichholz, "are represented
by these friends whom I hav.e mentioned ; widely different were
the environments in which they were born and reared, varied were
their personal traits. And yet, there was one thing they had in
common — for it may be truly said of all of them — wdthout excep-
tion they were possessed with a kindly, and generous interest in
their fellow beings."
The Rev. Mr. William Armhold then recited ''The Kaddish,"
after which an excellent luncheon was served in a tent. The long
tables were charmingly set, under the direction of the Ladies'
Auxiliary Board, and were laden with the good things from the
farm.
At the afternoon session Prof. Morris Loeb, a member of the
Board of the Jewish Agricultural Aid Society, of New York, was
the first speaker. He addressed himself to both the audience, and
the graduates and students seated upon the platform. He spoke
of The National Farm School's purpose in endeavoring to culti-
vate a tendency toward farming among the Jews. Prof, Loeb
said in part:
The promise that the school makes to these young men is, not ex-
cessive wealth, not immunity from care and toil, not even Israel's undy-
ing gratitude to them, as restorers of her agricultural fame. But j^ou
SEVENTH GRADUATION AT THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
can assure them that with a fair degree of industry tliey are likely to
become their own masters at a comparatively early period; that their
annual income will be less subject to violent fluctuations and their ex-
penses more readily controlled; that they ai^e less liable to use up their
health and strength in confining and nerve-i'acking occupations, and be-
come old and worn-out at fifty; that when they marry, their home will
be their own and their children will grow up healthy and free from the
danger of the streets; and they themselves, in their daily occupations, will
have the opportunity of developing their own individuality, instead of be-
coming mere cogs in the wheels of commerce and industry. There can
be no doubt, too, that the average farmer plays a more important role in
citizenship than the average city-dweller; that his opportunity for making
himself i^espected is gi'eater.
All these are no mean ai'guments. It is the duty of the Farm School
to confirm those who have accepted them; first by properly instructing
its students in the methods of husbandry; secondly, by sharpening their
appreciation of the enjoyments to be obtained by the contact with nature;
thirdly, by strengthening their character against the unsettling tendencies
of our age the nervous scramble, the hurry to get money quickly and to
<?pend it flashily, that fear of quiet wnicli almost parallels the child s scare
in the dark. The Jewish people, rich and poor, with profit largely by a
return of a larger percentage to the wholesome restraint of real country life.
The future is for the farmer who is content to make a fair annual
income, while building up the land as a permanent inheritance to his
descendants for many generations. If I interpret the land-hunger of the
Jew aright, this is the very spirit in which he acts, and the idea of the
family, as interpreted by Jewish tradition, may yet be the salvation of
American farming. Once let it be understood that the farm is to be a
precious inheritance of unborn generations, and timber will no longer be
ruthlessly cut down and the soil robbed, as if it were an orange to be
thrown away, after it has been squeezed out. Let schools, such as yours,
teach how the land can be rationally cultivated. Let the community en-
courage its graduates and let us all do our proportionate duty in building
up the prosperity of the future American.
The diplomas and certificates to the eleven graduates were
presented by Mr. Francis J. Torrance, President of the, Pennsyl-
vania State Board of Charities. In his baccalaureate address, Mr.
Torrance, turning to the graduates, said :
Now consider the importance of your calling, from the point of view
that you do your work scientifically, not in a haphazard way, having the
co-operation of the brain and muscle, putting into actual practice the
theories you have acquired, not in an experimental way and watching foi
results, but knowilig absolutely from past experience what those results
will be. Consider for a moment that $3,500,000,000 represents the agri-
cultural capital of the United States and then consider that you are a
part of it. It may be but a small part of it, an insignificant part, that you
occupy. Nevertheless, your importance in it is largely left to your own
effort. Take advantage of the knowledge you have acquired here. Be
something. Have an object in life. Be busy. Be employed. Work. I
8 SEVENTH GRADUATION AT THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
don't mean to be a drudge or to labor, ignoi'ing every other element in
life, but be something in life. Make yourself felt and your reward of
self satisfaction which, when rightly and honestly acquired, is the best
reward one can have.
Turning- to the audience and the officers of the School, Mr.
Torrance, spoke of the many millions which the State of Pennsyl-
vania contributes to its charities and penal institutions. "But how
much better we would be,"" he continued, "if a larger appropriation
went to the homes and teaching institutions, rather than to the
prisons and asylums, where w.e find the results of idleness and
crime. The National Farm School is performing a noble function,
is, rendering a great service to the Commonwealth, in teaching in-
dustry, making that class of citizens, whom we know to be desir-
able."
After the distribution of the the diplomas. Dr. Krauskopf an-
nounced the following gifts to the School :
Miss Eleanore Samuel, one-fourth of an estate, valued at from
$80,000 to $100,000, will go into effect after death of brother;
Mr. Isaac Sailer $500.00
Mr. Solomon Blumenthal 250.00
Mrs. Louis Eliel, in memory of Jos. Louchheim, for
Prizes 250.00
Mrs. Leah Bernheimer, Mobile, Ala 100.00
Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Cohen, of Pittsburg, Prizes for gen-
eral excellence, annually 20.00
Dr. John H. Washburn, Director of the School, then distrib-
uted the prizes. Mr. Gustav Bacharach paid a tribute to the mem-
ory of Samuel Strauss, Jn, when the senior prizes for general
scholarships were presented. Isaac Stern then delivered the vale-
dictory in behalf of the graduating class after which the Buildings
and Farms were inspected.

Eleventh Pilgrimage and Annual Meeting
at the National Farm School
Farm School, Bucks Co., Pa.,
Odober 11, 1908
Surrounded by a bounteous supply of farm products of the very
best quality as a demonstration of what the pupils are doing in a
practical way and in a Succah especially erected and decorated with
cornstalks taken from fields cultivated by boy farmers, the Eleventh
Annual Meeting of the National Farm School and the Succoth
Pilgrimage was held, at the School, on Sunday, October ii, 1908.
Senator Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania, in the course of an
introductory address, pledged th.e School his influence to aid in se-
curing a substantial appropriation from the next session of the
Legislature. He declared that the purposes of the farm school were
most commendable and that any movement which sought to re-
lieve the over-crowded and demoralizing condition of the ghettos
and to induce the younger Jewish generation to take up scientific
agriculture should have the substantial support of the State. The
pilgrims, numbering over 500 and including men, women and chil-
dren, arrived at the Farm School station shortly before noon,
having left the Reading Terminal station, in Philadelphia,
at 10 A. M. Many came in automoibles and by trolley. They
were met by Senator Penrose and ex-Speaker of the House of
10 ELEVENTH PILGRIMAGE AND ANNUAL MEETING
Representatives Henry K. Walton.
j\Ir. Adolpli iCichholz, an honorary member of the Local
Board, presided. Hon. Henry M. Walton, ex-Speaker of the Legis-
lature of Pennsylvania, introduced U. S. Senator Penrose, the
senior Senator of Pennsylvania. Mr. W'^alton, in his introductory
address, said that he had aided the School to obtain an appropria-
tion, when he was in the Legislature, and that his chief regret was
that the amount had not been larger. He said in part:
This school is worthy of a much more liberal support. No doubt, with
the united influence of men like our senior United States Senator, Rabbi
Krauskopf and the Blums, you should find the next Legislature far more
liberal. I shall certainly do all I can to help you, as I consider it the
duty of the State to assist an institution of this nature.
Farming is the noblest work a man can pursue. President
Roosevelt b.elieves the farmer should be educated, and should pro-
gress faster and should rise higher than the sphere in which he
lives. I hope that before he gets out of office he may accomplish
something along this line. I do not feel that the State appropriated
money to The National Farm School it is giving money to charity,
but t othe upbuilding and uplifting of the manhood of our State.
It is the duty of the State to see that it receives a large amount of
money so that this great work can be carried on.
Senator Penrose began by congratulating the School upon its
successful career. He said that the development of manual and
agricultural training marked the most important advances in latter
day education, and that in the large cities institutions established
for the former branches were becoming more crowded than in
colleges. He continued :
We all recognize the fact that the prejudices of politics have limited
the Jews of Europe to but few occupations, and that the holding of land
has been held from them and other denominations. They have only natur-
ally centred in the large cities and followed those occupations with which
they are familiar. But in this great State, founded by William Penn as the
land of religious liberty, we have different conditions than those abroad,
and it is only fitting that the Legislature of Pennsylvania should encourage
an institution of this nature, which adds to the agricultural interests of
the State.
Whatever influence I may possess at Harrisburg will always be exerted
for liberal treatment to this institution. It does not conflict with any similar
institution in the: State. No finer site for it could be secured and no more
capable or zealous management could be in control.
Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, the President of the School, then read
his annual message, printed in full on pages 13 to 20 of this
ELEVENTH PILGRIMAGE AND ANNUAL MEETING 11
issue of the Y.ear Book. Dr. Krauskopf was followed by Mr.
Arthur K. Kuhu, of New York City, who, in the absence of Mr.
Isidore Strauss on account of illness, read his address on "Rural
Happiness and. th.e Jewish Problem," also printed in full on
pages 27 to 30.
The audience was then addressed by Miss Lilliam Wald, head
of the Henry Street Settlement, of New York City, who empha-
sized th.e necessity for the removal of immigrants from the con-
gested sections of large cities. Miss Wald paid a glowing tribute
to the work that was being accomplished at The National Farm
School. "Not enough emphasis," said Miss Wald, "lias been
placed upon th.e great social obligations under which we lie to
the farmer. The State is only doing its duty when it helps to
dignify and enrich the work of making scientific and able farmers."
After luncheon, served in a tent, under the direction of the
Ladies' Auxiliary Committee, the students of the School drove the
visitors over the four farms; of the institution, comprising nearly
400 acres, 300 of which are in a state of cultivation.
The afternoon session was held in Segal Hall. Here, the Di-
rector, Dr. John H. Washburn, and the Treasurer, Mr. Isaac H.
Silverman, submitted their reports, given in full on pages 21 to 26
and 33 to 35.
The following telegram from Judge Harry M. Goldfogel, who
was to have been one of the speakers, was read by the Chairman :
Conditions, suddenly arising during my campaign, imperatively require
my presence in New Yoi^k to-morrow, Sunday. This, to my great regret,
precludes me from' the pleasure of attending" the Farm School festival. I
feel keenly disappointed in not being able to addi'ess the gathering. The
practical study of agriculture ought to be encouraged. It serves to solve,
In a large measure, the problem involved in the immigration question. Our
great country holds out immense possibilities to those toiling to pursue
farming and agricultural industries. I appreciate greatly your excellent
work and the immense services the School renders to our immigrant co-
religionists. I wish your institution continued success.
At the election of officers, which followed. Rev. Dr. Joseph
Krauskopf was re-elected presid,ent. Mr. Harry B. Hirsh was
elected vice-president, succeeding Mr. Morris A. Kaufman, who,
because of his ten years' continuous service on th.e Board of the
School, became an honorary member of the Board. Two new mem-
bers, Mr. Bernard Binswanger and Mr. Benjamin Finberg, were
elected. Messrs. Harry Felix, Simon E. Friedberger, Harry B.
Hirch and Leon Merz were re-elected for a term of three years.
The pilgrims returned to Philadelphia on the special train at 4.30.
THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 13
The President's Message.
To the Members and Friends of the Natio^ial Farm School:
Ladies and Gentlemen :
Before presenting my Annual Report to you, the eleventh in
the history of our institution, I desire to turn first, with feelings of
profound gratitude, to Him from whom all our blessings flow, and
Who has favored this institution with His kindness, more especially
during the past year of our great financial and industrial depression.
I must confess that we entered upon the eleventh year with
considerable misgivings. Members began to fall off, support from
sources which hitherto had never failed us, began to be
rr 1 • 1 • -1 ' o A year of
cut oft, and it looked as if we might never be able to financial
weather the storm that threatened us. 277 members, hardships.
pa3-ing from $5 to $25 yearly, their dues amounting in the aggre-
gate to nearly $1500, declined to pay their subscriptions. Notwith-
standing frequent appeals to them, we could elicit either no answer
at all, or their regret that hard times necessitated their non-pay-
ment. Our efforts to try to find others to take their place proved not
onty an utter failure but of considerable expense besides.
To make matters still worse, perhaps owing to the financial and
industrial depression, applications for admission to our school poured
in upon us as they had never before. Many of these
were of a nature so urgent and so deserving that, not- crease in
withstanding the crowded condition of our dormitory, students.
notwithstanding decreased income, we were obliged to admit the
largest number of students in the history of our institution, sixty-
three in all; obliged to turn two of the farmhouses of the Schoenfeld
Annex Farms into temporary dormitories ; obliged to take financial
obligations upon us to meet which w^e have struggled hard, and the
strain of which, we trust, may become easier with a return of pros-
perity to our country. This anticipated prosperity may make it
possible for us to admit the scores of others, whose applications we
have been unable to act upon, and whose frequently repeated peti-
tions for favorable consideration we are forced to decline, by reason
of lack of funds in our treasury, and want of room in our dormitory.
I am, however, happy to be able to report that, while the man-
agers of this institution were obliged to wrestle with the financial
problem, the faculty and students were in no wise permitted to be
14 THE PRESIDEXT'S MESSAGE
disturbed by it. The good work went on even more efficiently than
usual, and the result to-day is more gratifying than ever. The report,
which the Director of our school will submit to you, will acquaint
you in detail with our achievements during the past year in school-
room, on the fields, in the dairy, greenhouses, and in the manage-
ment of the Schoenfeld Annex Farms.
Some of our growth during the year you may see for yourselves
in the Xew Green House, which the labor of our students has built,
-ru o L. 1 aiid toward the erection of which Mr. Ferdinand Loeb
The School
continues to has contributed, in memory of his wife, the sum of
grow. $1000, and all the cement used in the construction
thereof. Unfortunately, we will not be able to make use of this
beautiful structure this winter, because there are no means at our
command to supply it with the necessary heating plant. Experts
have strongly advised us to install one heating plant large enough
to supply our three greenhouses with the requisite heat. This will
involve an expenditure of a little more than $iooo, an expense which
our empty treasury will not enable us to incur.
Another sign of our growth during the past year is the lake,
now in course of construction, and which, when completed, will not
only realize a long-felt need, but will also, with its tree-
A new Lake planted esplanade encircling it, greatly enhance the
beauty of our plant. It is to be dedicated during our
Graduation next spring, and is the donation of Mr. Henry Rosen-
thal, in memory of his recently deceased brother, Anshel Rosenthal.
The large wagon-shed, opposite our barn, now in course of
construction, is another of the past year's additions to our plant, of
Teach the which not only all its labor is that of our students, but
iversi led ^^jg^ -^.g i^j^-^i^g,- jg largely from our own grove. It is
needs of .
farm life. thus that we give our boys opportunity for acquiring
diversified knowledge in modern practical agriculture, acquainting
them with all the needs of farm life, teaching them not only the
theory and practice of raising crops, but also how to build their own
greenhouses, construct their own barn and stable and do a certain
amount of carpentry, masonry and cement-work. The upper half
story of this shed could be used as a repair shop, if some friend of
the institution were kindly to supply us with the necessary outfit.
It is by reason of the practical side of farming given at our
school that most of our graduates have given excellent account of
themselves, either as managers of their own farms, or as employees
on other men's farms, or when doing expert work in the Agricultural
Department at Washington, or as instructors in State institutions or
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE 15
in agTicnltnral schools.
Speaking- of other handicrafts in which we are, to some extent,
initiating- our students, the time has come for giving this matter
larger attention than has hitherto been given to it. The „ , , .^
° ° Rural Life
main object of our institution is somewhat to relieve the and the
congestion of our overcrowded and demoralizing- ghet- Handicrafts,
toes, to induce more and more, especially of the younger generation,
to take up the pursuit of agriculture, to train leaders of future agri-
cultural colonies. But we must not leave out of sight that a colony
needs mechanics as well as farmers, and that it is as much our duty
to train the former as the latter. We need a mechanical building, in
which young men might be trained, in the country, in handicrafts
to be followed in country places. To train young men in handicrafts
in the city is apt to attach them to the city, and keep them there. To
have mechanics in the country, we must train them there, and since
of country mechanics there is a great need, this institution would
take a decided step forward if, besides giving to some students an
agricultural training, it would give to others a training in the other
handicrafts. These two callings are complementary to each other,
and to provide the training for them would truly fulfil the mission of
this institution.
There is here a noble opportunity for a noble benefaction. The
erection of such a building, and the endowing it with a sufficient
fund for its maintenance, would mean a new epoch in ., , ,

opportunities which, in course of time, would open a ^"''ding.
yet wider path from the demoralizing, congested cities to the healthy
and ennobling country.
The hope that such a benefactor might arise in our midst brings
vividly before us him who has proven himself our greatest bene-
factor hitherto, Mr. Max Schoenfeld. In hearty sym- The Bene-

and doubters there were many, and of friends few, and gave us
$10,000 with which to buy two farms adjoining our school farm,
now known as Schoenfeld Annex Farms Nos. i and 2, and on
which he desired graduates of our school to be given an opportunity
to try independent farming, under the eye of our faculty, for a year
or two, before going out into the world to engage in larger enter-
prises of their own, or as managers for others. This gift he followed
up, a year or two later, with an additional $1000, for the purchase
of implements, and for the erection of our Silos. And to this princely

munificence he added last 3'ear a third farm, of 163 acres, Hkewise
adjoining our school, for which he paid the sum of $15,000. The
Farm School entered upon the possession of that farm last March,
equipped it at its own expense, with the necessary stock and imple-
ments, made the absolutely necessary repairs on the buildings, in-
volving an expenditure of $4251.19, which sum we were, of course,
obliged to borrow. Some of this debt will be paid off this year
from the sale of products raised on its grounds, after an allowance
shall have been made for some more necessary repairs on the build-
ings, and for additional farm equipments.
Of our financial standing you will be fully informed by our
Treasurer. But I cannot refrain from making special mention of the
Mrs. Bertha splendid addition that was made to our Sinking Fund
Rayner
Frank's gift during the past year, by the gift of $10,000 by Mrs.
ment Fund. Bertha Rayner Frank, in memory of her husband, Dr.
Samuel L. Frank, and her father Wm. S.' Rayner, the former hav-
ing been a member of the National Auxiliary Board of the Farm
School from its beginning to the day of his death. This handsome
donation is not only a noble tribute on the part of Mrs. Frank to
the affection her lamented husband and father cherished for our
institution, in the success of which they were deeply concerned, but
it is also a splendid demonstration of her own appreciation of the

We must make special mention of the personal interest taken
in our school, during the past year, by Mr. S. Lubin. This gentle-
man not only gave the school a new piano, and a mov- j^^ ^ |_^,fj.
ing-picture machine for the entertainment of our stu- in's special
dents, but has furnished monthly entertainments for the ^'^*^'
boys during the winter season. In addition Mr. Lubin has taken a
series of pictures exhibiting the daily life and work at the school
and in the fields, which he has presented to the school, and which
are to be used for propaganda purposes during the coming winter.
The appreciation of the State of Pennsylvania of the work done
by our school was shown not alone by the appropriation of $7500
for maintenance, but by making the orchards of the National

We have planted, for State experimental purposes as well as for the
increase of our own efficiency in fruit culture, 1150 peach and 480
apple trees on a fourteen acre stretch of land on Schoenfeld Farm

The State has held four institutes in Segal Hall for the purpose
of giving the farmers of Bucks and ^Montgomery Counties the bene-

work, will, at the coming assembly of the Legislature, appropriate
the means for the much needed dormitory, a dining-hall to accom-
modate the larger number of pupils, and a larger sum for mainte-
nance.
One of the aims of the school being the transferring of our
people from the congested districts of the large cities to the country,
^, ^ , it is natural for us to have a large enrollment from the

our books also show the meagre financial support we receive from
that metropolis. It is to be hoped that, with the return of prosperity,
New York City will take upon itself the share that it should carry in
the maintenance of our school.
While the city of New York is not doing its duty by our school,
we are pleased to be able to report that the Jewish Agricultural and
Industrial Aid Society of New York has been of in-

our graduates to locate on independent farms, in differ-
ent parts of our country. We are very grateful to this Society for
its co-operation. We trust that the zeal and energy wath which
our graduates enter upon their own farms, and the results they
achieve, may constitute the Industrial Aid Society's truest reward,
and warrant a continuance of its helpful aid to graduates of our
school.
It is painful to be obliged to turn from this pleasant incident
in last year's history of our institution, to the great loss it has sus-
. , tained in the sudden death of Mr. Isaac Herzberg. The
Isaac deceased was a member of our Board of Managers for
Herzberg. ^ number of years, and during a part of that time he
served as Chairman of the Schoenfeld Alemorial Annex Farms, and
devoted himself to that task with an earnestness and helpfulness that

will be difficult to equal. Besides his efficient services, he endeared
himself to the fellow members of the Board by his kindly disposition,
and ever since his untimely death, his presence has been sadly missed
at every meeting.
In a measure, however, his loss has been compensated by the
devoted services of his successor, as Chairman of the Schoenfeld
Farms, Mr. Harry Felix, whose devoted manaeement .. ,,

in that capacity for a number of years, he has acquired a mastery
of the position which will be difficult for others to attain.
In compliance with the by-laws, however, a new active Board
Member must be elected by you, to-day.
In our faculty, a change was made during the past year in the
appointment of Mr. Walter F. Fancourt as horticulturist, succeeding
Mr. W. B. Brierly. Mr. Fancourt has won for himself
an enviable reputation as a thoroughly skilled and emi- Ciiange in

may therefore look forward to great progress in its department of
horticulture, fruit-raising and truck-gardening.
We have also added to the faculty Dr. Michael L. Landman,
who is to give alternate courses in Bacteria of the Soil and Hygiene.
Dr. Landman is to make special experiments in the cul- n . ^
tivation of nitrogen-producing bacteria and practical man added
demonstrations of their influence on the growth of *° *^ staff,

To the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia we desire
to express our appreciation for its appropriation of $6400 to our

appear at all on the list of contributors to the Federation. It is to
be hoped that a recognition of the goodly work it is helping to ac-
complish on these grounds, and which is but an illustration of the
kind of work it is doing in a dozen other institutions, will induce the
public at large to be more mindful of its obligation to that noble
organization.
We also desire to express our gratitude to the Federation of
Jewish Charities of the cities of Indianapolis, Toledo, Chattanooga,
and Memphis for their annual contributions to our
^^'^ ^^^^^ funds. It gives us great pleasure to express our thanks
to the Director and the faculty for their efficient labors ;
to the matron whose devoted management to the household is every-
where manifest; to the secretary; to the Board of Managers, and
especially to the Budget Committee, whose painstaking work has
made it possible for us to weather the financial stress of the past
year; to the members of the National Auxiliary Board; to the La-
dies' Committee, who ably assisted the matron in the management of
the household of the school ; to the Farm School Sewing Circle, that
has contributed a large number of useful articles to the linen room;
to our donors of implements and goods (tabulated account of which
will be given in our Year Book) ; to the lecturers and speakers who
have contributed to the intellectual progress of our faculty and stu-
dents ; to the entertainers who have assisted in bringing cheerful
evenings to the students during the winter months, and during the
trying days of the summer months, and to all others who have held
out an encouraging hand, and have given a cheering word.
A number of times, appeals made at these annual meetings have
been answered by those interested in our institution. Segal Hall, the
A Consum- Laboratory, our dairy, the lake, are the results of such
vout'lVwish- ^PP^^ls. To-day we ask for a heating-plant for our
ed for. three greenhouses, for an additional dormitory, for a
dining-hall, for larger means for the maintenance of the many stu-
dents who are eager to enter our school, but to whom we are forced
to refuse admission because of a lack of accommodations, and a
want of means for their support. We hope, when we meet again,
we will be able to report that some of the needs, for which we are
appealing to-day, have been filled.

The Diredor's Report
In reporting- the progress of our School, I beg to state that
there were eleven graduates last June. These, with one or two
exceptions, received very satisfactory positions and
have made good use of the training received at the Progress of
Institution, in their positions, up to the present the School.
time. In June we hope to graduate nine more men.
Seventy-nine students received instruction during the past year;
thirteen left the School after having received a partial course.
The work done in the class-room is becoming more satisfac-
tory each year. The class in Agricultural Mechanics made un-
usual progress in their exercises in computing the amount of lum-
ber necessary for certain buildings, and in the knowledge and care
of farm tools, gasoline, steam and hot air engines, and other de-
vices for lightening the work of the farmer.
The new shed which is being built for the housing of our
wagons will have, under the roof, a space for the making of a
good shop, thirty by seventy feet, wdiich may be divided so that
we can give instruction both in carpentering and in painting and
repairing farm implements. I hope this practical course may be
added to the instruction already given and be equipped with proper
facilities.
Another form of instruction which has been very popular dur-
ing the past year, and which has been of mutual benefit to both our
students and the community, is being given in the demonstration
orchards under the care of Prof. H. A. Surface who has charge
of the Entomological Division in the Department of Agriculture,
at Harrisburg. This work has been under the immediate super-
vision of Prof. E. L. Loux who has given public demonstrations
at the Institution. He has also given addresses in evenings to our
classes concerning the best methods of spraying and pruning, the
making of fungicides and insecticides, and has taken the pupils
of the Institution into the orchards to give them practical' demon-
strations.
At a public meeting, held on the afternoon of September 25th,
Prof. Surface was here and gave to a goodly number of farmers
demonstrations and explanations of the results of the year's spray-
ing", and in the evening lectured to an appreciative audiei-^^e of

neighboring- farmers and students. I feel that this is an eminently
practical and useful department of our instruction. Four of our
orchards have been used as demonstration orchards by the State, —
the large apple orchard near the station, the old peach orchard
opposite, the new peach and apple orchard of fourteen acres which
has just been set out this year, and the apple and pear orchard
of th.e Schoenfeld Farm Number Three.
^ ^ ;Jc
The work of the farm and dairy during this last year has
been very much the same as in the past with a
slight addition in the amount of crops raised. The
raised on , , i i .1 r 1 ^ 1
crops harvested by the farm department for the
year is as follows :
133 tons of hay. 96 bushels of rye.
160 bushels of oats. 100 bushels of mangles.
260 bushels of turnips. 10 tons of sorgum.
75 bushels of onions. 8 bushels of onion sets.
20 bushels of pears. 150 bushels of apples.
250 baskets of peaches. 450 bushels of potatoes.
200 tons of silage. 856 bushels of corn.
1700 bushels of tomatoes.
We have in our poultry department about 300 chickens.
Our swine have increased over fifty in number.
Our Dairy has furnished the Boarding Department :
15,550 quarts of milk. ' 592 quarts of cream.
1,160 pounds of butter.
10,113 pounds of skim milk, amounting in value to $1282.00.
This department has sold for cash :
3874 quarts of milk. 424 pounds of butter.
777 quarts of cream.
1589 pounds of skim milk, amounting to $487.06.
The farm has furnished the Boarding Department :
40 bushels of onions. 150 bushels of apples.
600 bushels of potatoes. 194 pounds of chicken.
143 pounds of fowl.
423 dozen eggs, aggregating in value to $681.57.
The Horticultural Department has also contributed a large
share of its energies to the raising of material for our table. It
has delivered from its kitchen gardens to the Boarding Department :
222 pounds of rhubarb. 59 bunches of asparagus.
165 bunches of radishes. 142 bunches of parsley.
100 bunches of onions. 474 bunches of celery.
24 egg plants. 10 bushels of salsify.
10 bushels of parsnips. 37% bushels of carrots.
1% bushels of peas. 29 1^ bushels of beet greens.
THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT 23
69% bushels of beets. 27% bushels of string beans.
28 bushels of lima beans. 4 barrels of summer squash.
2% bushels of spinach. 9^/^ bushels of pickling cucumbers
131/^ bushels of turnips. 80 bushels of tomatoes.
30 baskets of peaches. 125 bushels of apples.
14,313 ears of sweet corn, aggregating in value to $635.54.
The facilities for instruction in both raising vegetables under
glass for market and for giving object lessons in disposing of
green-house produce has been materially increased with the mag-
nificent new green-house which will now soon be completed.
No branch of agriculture is giving to the farmer such rich
pecuniary returns as that of orcharding and the raising of small
fruits. In co-operation w'ith the Agricultural De-
partment, at Harrisburg, we have increased our
facilities for instruction in orcharding and feel that
we are teaching to our students the very best
methods that are known and practiced at the present time.
Another feature of our instruction is that of the individual
gardens where each student for two successive years must have
his own little garden and raise over sixty different kinds of vege-
tables and greens, learning thereby when, what and how to plant
and care for a garden. The special advantage of the individual
garden is that each student tills the whole of it from early Spring
until late in Fall, learning every part of the care of the garden and
its produce in a way that w^ould be impossible if he only helps in
the care of our larger gardens.
The crops that will be raised by our students for market dur-
ing the coming winter are tomatoes, radishes and lettuce, together
with carnations.
We have already secured a donation for the starting of a
nursery which will be a most helpful addition to our many branches
of instruction and enable us to raise much of the material which
we shall use in very large quantities in the next year or two in
further beautifying our grounds, ,and for the landscape gardening
around the new lake and that portion of the farm between the
lake and the railroad.

Mr. W. G. Brierley, who for two years has been our Horticul-

turist, resigned early in August. His place has been filled by
Mr. W. F. Fancourt who brings with him a rip.e knowledge and
experience in care of green-houses, gardens, nurseries, and also
much experience in practical landscape gardening.
One of the most valuable additions in our instruction this
year has been in Mrs. Charles Nightingale's department. She
gives the young men a thorough drill in elementary English, gram-
mar, composition, rhetoric, and .letter writing.
The instruction in Veterinary was ably begun in the June
Semester by Dr. J. C. Michen.er. He will finish his course of
lectures during the winter.
A course of lectures on horticultural subjects has been, ar-
ranged for the next year to be given by th.e following men promi-
nent in agricultural work : Prof. Surface, of the

for Bucks County ; Mr. Grove, one of Pennsyl-

Schoenfeld Farm Number One has been occupied dur-
ing the past year by a graduate of this year's class and a present
Senior. They have been .farming to halves. They
^ °®" ® have raised 200 bushels of potatoes, 2150 bushels of
Farm Number
Q tomatoes, 500 bushels of corn, 10 tons of hay, 10
tons of corn-fodder, 20 tons of silage, 10 swine, and
have delivered 7,000 quarts of milk. Their pecuniary success has
been perfectly satisfactory and the additional instruction which
they have received in being able to conduct and plan a farm for
themselves will be of invaluable use to them. They both leave
this next year to take a farm for themselves. No better proof of
the immense value of the Schoenfeld Farms to our students crai
be had than the fact that all the boys, with one exception, who
have had charge of these farms are successfully conducting farms
for themselves.
When we received Schoenfeld Farm No. 2 a few years ago it
was a very unproductive piece of land; but, by plowing in green

on this farm 1150 peach trees, 480 apple trees, and
7,000 aspargus plants. All of them are doing well. We have also
raised ten acres of excellent crimson clover and have a very promis-
ing corn crop on ten acres. Thirty young quince trees are doing
well. These young fruit trees very greatly add to the value of
the property.
* * *
Schoenfeld Farm Number Three was bought at an expense of
$15,000. We took possession of it March first and had absolutely
no funds with which to buy tools, hors.es, carts
and machinery. Money had to be borrowed for Schoenfeld
stocking the farm. For that reason the stock put ^,

on the place, while not as high priced and as good
quality as we hope to own in a little while, was the best we could
get for the money we felt it would be wise to spend at that time.
Sixteen cows were bought for the place and they were very or-
dinary cows, rather poor. They have made; good money for what
has been expended on them.
Mr. Howard Young has been foreman of the farm and . has
shown himself to be an unusually careful and patient worker as-
sisting, teaching and helping the young men who have been sent
to him in a very careful and kindly manner.
The first year on every farm is always a precarious one.
The man who makes a farm pay for the first year can make it
pay richly during the second one. It was the middle of August
before we had anything to sell from this farm. We have sent a
team to market most every week since that time. The cash re-
ceipts have amounted to $1280.00. W.e feel that this is an excel-
lent showing under the conditions for seven months. It is un-
derstood that the money we make on the farm will be used for'
the improvement of its livestock and for the general betterment
of the farm until we have a modern productive plant conducted in
accordance with the best modern methods.
We need books for our Library. The larger the School the
more books we need. We need twenty elementary sets of carpen-

we can make tlie thousands of gallons of the lime-sulphur

also cook the apple butter. All of this work is very objectionable
around the dairy and should be removed from that building. We
need $500.00 for the moving of the swine and poultry into proper
quarters. We need $60.00 for putting up telephone poles and wire
that w'e may take advantage of a very reasonable offer of the
Telephone Company to connect up all of our outlying farms with
the home farm, the railroad station and Doylestown on an inde-
pendent line. We need an ice house that will store three hundred
tons of ice; the increased use of ice being necessitated by our
extended production of milk and its products.

who is interested in the Jewish question. Ignore it as we may,
there is a Jewish question, yes, a Jewish problem.
The Jew has for thousands of years been persecuted and has
been driven from pillar to post. He could not feel secure for any

Necessity, said to be the mother of invention, is a stern task-

for his livelihood upon his wits, developed his brain
instead of his brawn. This in turn tended to drift depended upon

to blame a bird for using its wings more than its legs as to con-

the exercise of brain than of muscle.

consisted only in the results of productive labor, and that the
results from those otherwise employed added noth-

engaged in concretely productive labor to be re-

most convincing arguments. Those anti-immigrationists have for
a number of years been striving to shut out from our gates the
oppressed and persecuted who fiee from countries that in this
tW'Cntieth century are still living in the benighted atmosphere of
the middle ages.
New York City, the great gateway of this Western Hemi-
sphere, harbors to-day within the borders of its five boroughs from
eight hundred thousand to a million Jews. It is
Congestion m certain that within a radius of twenty-five miles
from City Hall, including Jersey City, Hoboken,
Newark, Elizabeth, Rahway and Patterson, there
are more than one million Jews. Prior to the 8o's, before the tre-

countries started, this same district did not contain over 100,000
Jews.
We cannot ignore the fact that this rapid influx has created
a Jewish problem which nothing but distribution and diversifying

there has never been felt any need of trades unions, high tarifTs,
or any artificial stimuli, or protection. It is at once the most self-

The successful cultivators of the soil occupy a position of free-

honorable and distinctive class of the population
which represents the best type of citizenship, the
most reliable and most dependable reserve force, the
real foundation on which the prosperity of a nation ultimately rests.
Therefore, let me urge you to apply the knowledge which you
here obtain by spreading the gospel of rural happiness : to instil
into the minds of those with whom you come into
contact an appreciation of the independence and
freedom of thought and action which a farm life
insures ; finally, by force of your example, to aid
in establishing Jewish settlements throughout the length and
breadth of the United States.
The foundation
of a nation's
prosperity.
Preacii tlie
gospel of Rural
Happiness.

THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 33
Report of the Treasurer of the National
Farm School
For the Year ending September 30, 1 908
It will be noted in the Treasurer's Report that, whil.e our re-
ceipts have remained practically the same, our expenditures have
increased $1655.56. This increase is due to the fact that, whereas
last year we had fifty students, we have this year sixty-three. No
doubt that during the coming year, with improvement in the in-
dustrial and commercial world, the school will find a proportionate
increase in its income.
Further, the report shows an increase of $14,199.84 in the
endowment fund. It is practically an axiom that no institution is
thoroughly grounded without a sinking fund. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that by the end of next year, our endowment fund will
have mounted to the hundred thousand dollar mark. A detailed
statement is hereby attached.
The Treasurer's report of Schoenfeld Farm No. 3, properly
audited and approved, will be foun with the Schoenfeld Farms
Committee Report.
Respectfully submitted,
ISAAC SILVERMAN, Treasurer.

Report of the Flora Schoenfeld Memorial
Farms Committee
To Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, President, and the Board of Managers
of The National Farm School. Gentlemen :
Below, herewith, find appended an account cov.ering the Flora
Schoenfeld Memorial Farms Nos. i, 2, and 3-
As you will notice, the returns, as given us from the Flora
Schoenfeld Memorial Farm No. i, more than exceed the expecta-
tions of any person who has had anything whatso-
ever to do with the farming industry. This farm Farm
has been rented by The National Farm School to Number 1
the tenants, William Lauchman, a 1908 graduate
of our School,, and Israel Wallman, a s.enior in the school. We
rent them the farm, in return for which we get one-half of the
product. Naturally, we would ordinarily not expect a big return,
especially from the fact that these boys have had absolutely no
business experience; but it is, nevertheless, gratifying to see that,
notwithstanding this fact, I believe it would be impossible for any
experienced farmer to produce more satisfactory results, than have
been produced by these two young men.
FARM PRODUCTS FROM FARM NO. 1 TURNED OVER TO THE SCHOOL
8 tons of Hay at $10 per Ton $ SO.OO
34 bushels of Wheat, at $1.00 per bushel 34.00
35 bushels of Oats, at 56c. a bushel 22.75

100 bushels of Tomatoes, at 20c. a bushel 20.00
100 bushels of Potatoes, at 50c. a bushel 50.00
100 bushels of Corn, at 70c. a bushel 70.00
?276.75
As to the Florg, Schoen£eld Memorial Farm No. 2, you will
notice the crop return has been exceptionally good. Further than
this, 1,150 peach trees, 450 apple trees and a five-
Farm Number acre asparagus bed have been planted, which will
Two give us a splendid return, for the money invested,
within the next three years. It has b.een
deemed necessary to treat the Flora Schoenfeld Memorial Farm
No. 2 in this manner, since there was quite a little ground, which
it was inadvisable to use except for orchard purposes, and it was
necessary that some definite result should be obtained therefrom
in addition to the land we use for farming purposes,
CROPS RAISED ON SCHOENFELD NO. 2
6% tons of Clover Hay, at $10.00 per ton $ 65.00
20 tons of Silage, at $3.00 per ton 60.00

35 hens, value 30.00
$472.00
Regarding the Flora Schoenfeld Memorial Farm No. 3: It
gives me great pleasure to report to you, that, not-
Farm Number withstanding the fact that we did not enter upon
Three th.e tenancy of this farm until March ist, yet, by
September 30th, we had sold $1,206.28 worth of
products.
I wish, at this time, to report to you the somewhat difficult
position your chairman found himself in at the commencement of
our incumbency of the farm. At the time when
Its imperative -^^^ Schoenfeld turned the farm over to us the
needs when buildings were not in a very good condition and
acquired * . ^^ ^o iTtn
absolutely necessary repairs cost us $568.51. When
I say absolutely necessary repairs, I mean that such repairs as
were necessary for the proper housing of our cattle and the proper
housing of the manager of this farm. There was no live stock on
the place; $1,640.10 was expended for this purpose. The improve-
ments on the farm cost us $904.71 more. In the fields there were
shocks of corn stalks, which ordinarily would have gone to waste,
there being no silo. The erection of a silo cost us $325.
REPORT OF SCHOENFELD MEMORIAL FARMS COMMITTEE 37
You will see, therefore, in order to stock this farm, purchase
the necessary improvements and make the necessary repairs, the
expenditure of $3,438.32 was essential. Of course,
with live stock on the farm, it was necessary to ^ '°^" ^°^
spend money for feed. Grain had to be purchased
. needs.
and implements were an imperative demand. In
fact, on every hand, money had to be expended. Through the
Chairman of the Finance Committee of The National Farm School,
by permission of the Board, $5,000 was borrowed. The report ap-
pended, however, shows that $5,265.08 has b.een expended ; but
against this a return of $1,206.28, as before mentioned, has been
made.
By carefully perusing this report, therefore, you will note that
the current expense has only been $1,626.76, while during the six
weeks since harvest time and during which time we
have had an opportunity to harvest some of our jhe products
product, the return has already been made to us raised and sold
of the above-mentioned sum, showing at the present
time, that with all our products still on hand and natural increase
of stock, it will still only be necessary for us to sell, approximately,
$420 worth in order that this deficit can be wiped out, and we have
another six months for selling, during which time, there is not the
slightest doubt, that a very material and profitable increase will be
shown.
To give you an idea as to how much work/ has been accom-
plished and what the future will show on this farm, I might say
that we have, at this time :
PRODUCTS ON HAND AT SCOENFELD FARM NO. 3
60 tons of Hay, at $10.00 per ton $ 60.00
35 tons of Corn Fodder, at $9.00 a ton 315.00
90 tons of Silage, at $3.00 a ton 270.00
1800 bushels of Corn, at 70c. a bushel 1,260.00
200 bushels of Turnips,at 10c. a bushel 20.00
8D0 bushels of Tomatoes, 20c. a bushel 160.00
100 Geese, Hens, Chickens, at 75c. a piece 75.00
$2,160.00
It can, therefore, b.e seen that the first six months on this
farm have shown us that it is possible to run a farm in conjunction
with The National Farm School and produce results
which can be compared favorably with the best Possibilities of
farms in the country. "Of course, your chairman the future.
feels, in this matter, that the exact condition of
things can only be given at the end of February, 1909, when we
38 REPORT OP SCHOENFELD MEMORIAL FARMS COMMITTEE
shall have occupied this farm for twelve months; but, in the mean
time, he has every reason to feel proud of the showing that has
been made. With thankfulness for the past and with hope for
"the future, this report is most respectfully submitted.
HARRY FELIX, Chairman.

40 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
The Ladies' Auxiliary Committee's Report
The Ladies' Auxiliary Committee of the National Farm School
was organized for the purpose of looking into the management of
the household, and has assisted the Executive Board materially,
during the past two years, in running this important branch of
the Farm School work.
During the past season the committee has held regular monthly
meetings. At least four ladies hav.e made it their duty to visit and
inspect the school each month month and to bring in to the meet-
ings criticisms, good or bad, of things as they found them. In this
way a number of evils existing at the school have been corrected
and a number of improvements made.
The Ladies' Committee is sub-divided; into an Advisory Com-
mittee, which investigates the household; a Domestic Committee,
to furnish servants to the school ; a Purchasing Committee which
does the buying of groceries for the kitchen and table; a Diet
Committee for the purpose of regulating th.e menus furnished to
the students ; a Sewing Committee, which manages the Farm
School Sewing Circle, and keeps the linen room supplied with all
its necessities.
The entire Committee is composed of eighteen ladies, who are
experienced in household matters, and are doing good work in
giving the benefit of their experience to the matron and manage-
ment of the Farm School.
The Treasurer's report and report of Sewing Committee are appended.

Abstt'ad frotn Dr. Krauskopf s Message^ Oct. nth, igo8 :
To the Federation of Jewish Charities of Philadelphia
we desire to express our appreciation for its appropriation
of $6400 to our funds, during the past year. That associa-
tion is doing excellent work, and it would gladly be more
liberal in its distribution of funds among the various so-
cieties constituting it, if the people at large were more gen-
erous in their support of it. There are still far too many
in our midst who are not contributing their proportionate
share toward the charities of Philadelphia, and quite a
goodly number whose names do not yet appear at all on
the list of contributors to the Federation. It is to be hoped
that a recognition of the goodly work it is helping to ac-
complish on these grounds, and which is but an illustra-
tion of the kind of work it is doing in a dozen other insti-
tutions, will induce the public at large to be more mindful
of its obligation to that noble organization.

AN APPRECIATION
The following letters, entirely unsolicited, attest the high
character of all our work:
"My Dear Mr. Gutekunst:
"Please accept my sincere thanks for the photographs you
have made of me, and which have just reached me. They are
certainly magnificent likenesses, and well attest the fact that
the hand that has delighted Philadelphia with its art for the
past half century has not yet lost its cunning.
"Trusting that kind Providence may spare you to us and
to your art yet many a year in health and good cheer, I am
Very appreciatively yours, "JOS. KRAUSKOPF."
F. Gutekunst. Seattle, Washington, Jan. 27, 1907.
Mv Dear Sir: — Your letter has reached me here — you may
surely use my sainted wife's letter to you about my picture, if you
wish, for I know how she loved it. It hung opposite her bed, and
almost the last thing she did in life was to smile and wave her
hand at it. You gave her such pleasure by sending the picture
that there is nothing I can do in return which I would not most
galdly do. Faithfully yours, JACOB A. RIIS.

AND
I am a candle, whose
splut'ring head, fur-
nished the Hght to go
to bed in the olden
days, when my sickly
rays would almost
convince that darkness
pays. Those were the
times of long ago,
back a hundred years
or so, when the maids
would spark in the
semi - dark and say
that gloom was a merry lark.
But now there comes to take
my place, the light of
a hundred candles'
grace. A cheering sight
on a darksome night, are the
rays of the wonderful Welsbach
Light. Cheapness and goodness
both combined— a master light from a master mind. From coast to
coast and from sea to sea, a million candles a man might see— but
nothing on earth is half so bright as the rays from a gf """>« ^^.7
bach Light. On mantle box and on burner, too, is the Shield
of Quality stamped for you— in case the dealer attempts a
few of the tricks he really ought not do— and an imi-
tation tries to sell, thinking it serves you just as well.
All genuine Welsbach mantles have the Shield of Quality stamped
onX box. Five kinds- 1 5. 20. 25. 30and 35 cents l""tatons.

WHILE we are somewhat diffident
about patting ourselves on the
back, we can not help but tell
you that the manner in which Philadel-
phians have grasped the idea, the pur-
pose and the advantages of the Store of
Famous Shoes, has literally carried us
off our feet.
We have sold thousands of pairs of
shoes already, and hundreds of new cus-
tomers are coming in every day. Each
one a permanent patron, too — because
that's tlie kind of shoes we sell.
Do you know the Store of Famous
Shoes? Do you know that the best
products of ELEVEN famous makers
are shown here? Think of the assort-
ments, the qualities, the fit and the
values that means!

"My What a Beautiful New
Enameled Bathtub
You Have!"
That was the admiring exclama-
tion of an observing lady visiting
a friend's house.
But it wasn't a new tub at all.
Really, it was an old one — had
been placed in the house some
years ago.
But it looked like new.
Just as white as snow and with
that perfect polish which only true
enamel can give.
The lady was soon informed why
the bathtub looked so beautiful.
Kleenatub
had made the enamel look likenew.
It will do the same thing for your
enameled tub; for your kitchen
sink; for your cut glass (no matter
how fine;) for your mirrors; for
your enameled or brass bed — for
any metal you may have in the
house.

A HINGED FEATHER MATTRESS
This is distinctly a new departure in the construction of a bed.
Its advantages are:
It dresses the bed perfectly level and does away with the bulky appear-
ance of a feather bed.
The feathers being confined in their respective sections; they do no^
slip away from under you when in use.
It does not require the exertion of beating up.
It never spreads and becomes larger than the bed.
It never wears into the uneveness which is oftimes the case with a
mattress.
It is softer than anything that can be produced.
Though they are made entirely new, they can be made from a feather
bed you no doubt have put away for the above reasons.

Qaid the wife to her husband after dining with friends —
^ "Did you notice the bread ? That was Mary's home
made." "Yet good as it was it wasn't nearly so good
as Kolh's
PAN-DANDY
It lacked that delicious bread flavor — it didn't have that
creamy richness — and I don't believe that it would keep fresh
and good-to-eat nearly so long."
PAN-DANDY is made from a special recipe that calls
for the very be^ flour — rich creamy milk and extra careful
making.
Most folks say it's the be^ bread they ever ta^ed.
5/ the loaf at any grocer's. Be sure the Kolb's label
is on it.
The Reputation of a City
The Kghter and brighter a city looks after dark, the
more up-to-date it becomes — the greater its trade — the
higher its reputation.
The same thing is true of a store.
There is just one artificial illuimnant which will
successfully fulfill any and every lighting condition, which
is both a lighting medium and an advertisement — ELEC'
TRIG LIGHT.
The economy of the new Tungsten and Nemsl
Electric Lamps places Electricity within the reach of the
smallest retail shop in Philadelphia. These lamps are
today being used in the very largest and most representative
stores of the city.
