The alcove is a facsimile of the ''Brick Certificate" for the new Talmud
Torah building on the corner of Kirby and Antoine streets. The United
Hebrew Schools of Detroit announce that these certificates are to be placed
on sale among all Detroit Jews, in order to give each an opportunity to
share in the construction of the new building. Robert Loewenberg is chair-
man of the committee in charge of the sale of these certificates. Each
"brick" is to sell at $5.
The certificate carries the inscription: "Out of the mouths of babes
and sucklings host Thou founded Thy might." The reverse side of the
certificate reads: "And when thy child shall ask thee, in time to come:
'What doth this mean?' thou shalt say unto him: 'This is to testify that I
have nut failed to respond to the call of duty, and I have added a brick to
the structure of a noble institution.'"
E, the Officers and Direc-
tors of the Robinson-
Cohen Company, extend
to you our most cordial
wishes for a Happy and
Prosperous New Year.
Our sincere desire is that
the coming winter
months will surpass
your fondest hopes of
achievement.

Fire is a bad foe but sometimes it proves a good
friend. It often forces us to act where postpone-
ment has been our practice.
Fire, although it served us ill, has served our friends
well, because it has brought into existence in Detroit
a shoe shop of an advanced type in which it will be
a pleasure to purchase shoes.
You are cordially invited to call at an early date and
see for yourself the improvements that have come
out of the ashes.
One of the features of which we are justly enthusi-
astic is the new line of Stetson shoes for which we
have arranged exclusive sale in Detroit.
We are prepared to offer Stetson shoes for men and
women in new and correct models in a large variety
of styles and leathers.
A special Stetson offering of exceptional merit is the
Healdarch, a scientifically constructed shoe that in-
sures comfort without sacrificing desirable style.
Call at your convenience.
Try Stetson's on. Buy only
if you feel you have at last
found the most desirable
shoe that can be procured.
