Tomorrow
As a Matter of Fact It May Be
of Interest to All Who Read
or Hearid of the "Broadside"
we published last Friday, changing Store hours
and Store regulations, to know that it was writ
ten nearly a month ago, prior to July 17, and
without consultation with any one outside of
the eight persons who read it first and who can
make an affidavit of the facts, and without sug
gestion from any of the commissions
This is an exact copy of the first writing,
which was as follows:
A Broadsword Blow for Our
Country's Sake
Cutting Down Coal Consumption and Making a
Real Saving of Man-Power by Setting
New Hours of Business From 10 to 4.30
With victory in war and the salvation of human liberties
awaiting upon the patriotism of the Americn people to sac
food and especially to sae fuel, a time has come when
Some One Must Take the Lead With a Full Stroke
The cutting down of elevator trips, tha darkening of dis
play windows, the putt'ng out of electric lamps where pos
sible all these and other economies required by the gov
ernment's officers are good and in the right direction.
But they are not enough, or, if enough, only barely
enough.
There Is a Greater Way
and, setting our faces toward the light of a dawning national
spirit, we step forward on that waj, and follow it alone, if
need be, but confident that the patriotism and confidence of
our customers will support and uphold us in
Our New Movement for Daylight Business
Hours Only
Therefore, with a full sense of all possible consequences
and responsibilities, this notice is given:
The Wanamaker Store
Will, Beginning July 22 and Forward,
Be Open 10 to 4.30 Daily
(Saturdavs excepted in Summer, when the Store is
closed all da).
The United States Government has set the daylight
saving hours with great wisdom, and they have been
of untold help in many was, and it is to be hoped
they will be continued.
In these six and a half hours we shall work full-powered
and alert to serve every need, and quickly, w ith the best of
new merchandise to be found, carrying on our business of
store-keeping with a better spirit of service than ever, but,
above all,
Saving the Coal
which is the great need of the moment in the national in
terest. Please note well. The Store's business and working
hours, beginning next Monday, July 22, will be
10 A. M., Until 4.30 P. M.
and at all other times our lights will be turned out, our
mach nerv stopned and our power-house fires banked down.
The hours fixed for business are all full daylight hours,
when little electric current will be necessary for lighting in
any part of this great daylight building.
For our country's take alone, be the consequences what
(hey may!
Comes the August
Thousands of Pair of All Kinds of Gloves 1
i. f, s
Sale of Gloved
It is proper to say that the writer had with
him this same initial sketch at Bedford Springs
on July 20, and brought it back with him Last
Thursday and published'it with its additions the
next morning. ,
But for his absence on vacation it would
have been published nearjy four weeks ago.
Signed
August IS, 1918.
Postscript Every storekeeper, little or big, man
or woman, who can save a bucket or a ton of coal will
be doing his or her part just the same as the larger
concerns, of which there are many all over all our
cities.

Only One Store Could Hold
an August Furniture Sale
So Full of Comfort and
Opportunity
Y
'OU can't put a gallon of ivatcr
into a quart measure, but there
is notfiine in particular to pre
vent any simple individual from trying.
The surest tiling about the experi
ment is that there 'f going to be a spill
over. This whole store had to grow a
great deal to enable us to hold such an
August Furniture Sale as we arc now
holding.
One sure thing is that this is the only
store big enough in every sense to hold
such a big sale without anything like
a spill-over or a mix-up.
For it is certainly a full-powered
sale the fullest - powered sale in the
world and it belongs only in a full
powered store.
It is the most comfortable sale in
the world, as you will understand when
you remember that its home is in the
heart of this wonderful, cool, high
(cilinged air-swept granite building,
with its scores of opejj uindows north,
south, cast and west and the great cool
air-space of the Grand Court in tiie
center.
Undeniably it is the first Furniture
Sale in the world in comforts, as it is
undoubtedly the first in safeties, in
beauties, in economies, in qualities
in all that makes a Furniture Sale
worth people's while to come to.
Back of these words are one million
dollars' worth, approximdtely, of new
purchases, bringing you the first pick
of the most desirable furniture for all
homes and all rooms from the finer
shops.
Back of this quantity are our great
regular assortments. Altogether, sev
eral acres of furniture here in the store,
and two wonderhousc-fuls to boot.
On all of which there are price sav
ings ranging from 10 to 50 per cent and
averaging about 30 per cent.
You can't say you need no new fur
niture until you come and see how
much of this furniture your home
should by right have in it.
