Bringing
on the Great Wanamaker Summer Sale
A Great Sapphire Ceiling
Luminous With Light
is high above our heads after the stormy night.
Just below the level of the winding path where
we walk is a rippling stream gamboling along
over its rocky bed with a song it has been sing
ing for thousands of years.
The ancient families of the oaks, maples,
beech, hickory, linden, tulips and pines are all in
possession of the mountain top and sides by
right of centuries of eminent domain. Proudly
and beautifully they are glistening like jewels
with the dew drops or summer showers of the
night.
Come, walk with us and drink with your
ears, eyes and mouth the clean air of the early
morning and be glad you are alive.
' It is not a gold brick you have the offer of,
nor are there any "gold bricks" to be disposed of
in all this big, wholesome, useful building. Take
our unmatched collection of beautiful, well
made, reasonably priced furniture as an
example.

A Roomful of Pictures
At Half Price
I
ALSO REDUCED
The new picture store on the Fifth Floor, Market, which, by
the way, is a very charming place, announces a most attractive
offering of oil paintings, water colors and carbon photographs at
exactly half the original prices.
A number of mirrors are also in the event, most of them
at half price.
One whole room has been given over to the collection so that
selection is as easy as it is advantageous. The collection is one
of the most unusual we have had at the prices in a long time and
includes many things that homekeepers and homefurnishers will
surely be glad of the opportunity to buy at so much less than the
regular value.
. The Oil Paintings are now marked $4 to $125 landscapes and
figure subjects in fine, gold-leaf frames.
The Water Colors are now marked $9 to $45 chiefly land
scape scenes, in fine gold-leaf frames.

of Shoes
$201,200 WORTH TO BE
SOLD FOR $124,465
High and low shoes for men, women and
boys, and some advance Fall high shoes at
savings of $76,745.
This is a sale comprising nearly 30,000
pairs of good, sound, reliable low shoes and
high shoes at savings that range from $2 to
$3.60 a pair.
On every pair of shoes in this list the reduc
tion in price is at least $2, and in most cases $3
or more.
The great Wanamaker Summer Sale of
Shoes is brought forward ahead of time.
It comes a little in advance of the applica
tion of the Government's War Industries Board
order limiting the styles of shoes, hereafter to
be made to three kinds black, white and two
shades of tan.
The Government's order will effect a great
economy in man power and some in leather,
but it will not bring cheaper shoes.
In advance of the going into effect of the
Government's order it is desired by the authori
ties that stores holding shoes in great variety
of styles and colors should reduce these stocks
to make ready to co-operate .with the Govern
ment in the matter of style reduction.
The Wanamaker Shoe Store, having the
largest business, has naturally the largest
stock of shoes found anywhere in the market.
The number of shoes necessary to have on
hand to supply every demand for size and style
is enormous.
But now the great variety is to be cut down
to the narrowest measure consistent with
utility and popular comfort.
In advance of it we make this great clear
away of our Summer stocks in order to co-oper-rate
with the Government's requirements.
Apart from the war fashion feature, the
sale offers tremendous advantages. Shoes are
holding steadily at high prices. We have kept
them down as low as it was possible for us to do
in regular stock, and now we have taken fully
30,000 pairs and reduced them from $2 to $3 a
pair. We certainly cannot replace these shoes
nor their equals in the newly restricted va
rieties at the prices we sell them for.
We won't be able to quote prices like these
again for Summer shoes for at least another
year, possibly never. Buy now. buy two or
three pairs for every man, woman and boy in
the family, if you want to make real cash sav
ings. Shoes listed here are in ample varieties,
and there will be plenty of extra trained sales
people to serve you.

PUTTEN0 m SALE OUR ENTIRE
STOCK F MEH'S FANCY
SUMMER SUITS AT
REDUCED PRICES
A most important clearaway in our Men's
Clothing Store of our entire stock of men's fine
worsteds, cashmeres and all other 3-piece suits,
except staple blues and blacks, will come on sale
tomorrow at 4 prices
$20 $25 $30 $35
Now, here are the facts about the prices and
their savings: In no, instance is the saving less
than $5 on a suit ; in most instances it is as much
as $8, and in some instances it is as much as $15.
So much for the savings as they stand against
our regular prices.
And now about the values all our inquiries
in the clothing market indicate that there isn't a
suit in this collection that won't be worth next
Spring at least $15 more than we are selling it
for now.
In this sale we suggest to our customers, and
our very best judgment is that the wise man will
buy two suits at least, one to finish out this sea
son with and one for next Summer.
No man, certainly, can get better suits for
the money now; none so good that we know of.
But what on earth we will do to get suits as good
as these to start our next season with we do not
know. We shall do all that it is possible for any
store to do. War needs must be met first, and
will be met first. Our best suggestion is that
every man in Philadelphia
Look on the Clothing Market the Same
Way He Would Look on the Coal Market
and Get His Supply Now
Remember, Every Fancy Suit in Our
Entire Clothing Store, $20 to $35
Every suit a good suit and an unbroken
range of sizes from 34 to 46 in regulars as well
as a fine selection of suits for stout men.

A FURNITURE SALE OF UNRIV MB S1LECTS0MS, UNQIIES
QUAimES AND TRUE PICE REDUCnONS MUST IE
SOMEIHING TO YOU HOME
TTONANJ
AM
It is the most reasonable thing in the world to choose your
furniture where choosing is best.
It is equally reasonable to choose furniture the quality of
which has been proved beyond yea or nay.
How much furniture you may nepd at this moment you your
self can best judge.
But when it comes to choosing it we are absolutely convinced
that you would naturally be inclined to give the preference to the
sale that fulfills both of the conditions stated above ; that is, to
the sale which presents unparalleled choice of furniture of un
questionable quality.
We want to tell you AGAIN THAT THERE IS ONLY
ONE SALE THAT absolutely fulfills both of those conditions,
and this is the sale.
THIS IS THE SALE OF UNPARALLELED CHOICE
AND THIS IS THE
FURNITURE OF UNQUESTIONABLE QUALITY
Is there .anybody who knows anything about the furniture
I situation in Philadelphia who doubts this? We don't ,believe

P'or the unrivaled scope and helpfulness of this sale are too
manifest for anybody not to recognize that it is in reality the one
event of its kind.
Anybody with eyes to see can find the proof of this in a
thousand different forms on three floors of this building.
There is here an assemblage of furniture the like of which
can probably not be found in any other retail store in the world.
Here is a selected stock of furniture, sound to the heart in
quality, desirable as the heart of anybody can wish, and priced
at reductions that ring true.
Please bear in mind that it is a selected stock, chosen with a
view to meeting the requirements of all the kinds of real homes
there are.
It is not a blind accumulation of all sorts of things for the
sake of making a show.
We have no furniture here or in our possession for show-off.
Every bit of furniture here is here for service, for beauty,
for character, for all the qualities that homekeepers of varying
requirements would like their furniture to possess, And so the,.
great sale goes on and on as only a sale can go that has so muck'-'i
