Men Should Buy Their
New Fall Suits at Once
We have a good supply and we are getting in new suits
every clay good, sound, durable, all-wool, hand-tailored suits at
$25 to $60.
We hope to be able to supply every demand that is made
upon us this Fall and Winter with just as good a supply as we -have
today, and we expect to do so.
But no man and no store can read the fortunes of the war,
and our best advice to our customers is to get their new Fall and
Winter suits now one suit, at least, and be sure you get it at
Wanamaker's, where every man's suit is all-wool and hand tai
lored. (Third I Inur, MnrUrt)

The New School and Dress
Shoe's for Girls and Boys
.
Probably the most remarkable thing about the showing
of Fall and Winter shoes for boys and girls is that none of
these shoes can be replaced for so little.
It is also important to remember that these are quality
shoes from top to bottom and that they are shaped right for
growing feet. Both lace and button styles, in all the desirable
leathers.
Girls' shoes in sizes 11 to 2 arc $3.50 to 8. For smaller
sizes prices are correspondingly lower, according to size.
Girls' shoes in sizes 2' to 6 are $4.25 to $9.50 and are
in wide assortment.
Little boys' shoes, sizes 11 to l'i', aie ?;.50 to $7, and
are made just like Big Brother's.
