4 PERSONAL STATEMENT BY.
JOHN WANAMAKER
Twelve Million Seven Hundred and
Seventy-three Thousand Dollars for
the Fourth Liberty Loan From
the Two Wanamaker Stores
After consultation with my son, representatives
of certain banks and some of the leaders of the two
stores, we decided that in the present crisis every 'ef
fort should, be made to reach a total of ten million
dollars from this business institution and store family
for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
" The effort thus far has resulted in raising
$12,773,000, and there may be more to come.
As this involved the co-operation of all our people,
numbering more than ten thousand, it is fair to them
and to the public to state just how this amount was
subscribed.
Within an hour after the proposition was made the
chiefs and executivesof each store were assembled in
groups, and quickly raised in the New York Store
$2,580,000 and in the Philadelphia Store $2,218,000.
Later the New York Store total was raised to
$3,045,000 by the employes, and the Philadelphia
Store total to $2,728,000, and to these are added the
subscriptions made by the undersigned and his son,
so that the record now stands:
Philadelphia executive and buyers,, $2,218,000
Philadelphia employes, rank and file 510,000
New York executives and buyers ., 2,580,000
New York rank and file 465,000
Hodman Wanamaker, New York subscrip
tion .' 2,500,000 .
Rodman Wanamaker, Philadelphia sub
scription .; 1,000,000
John Wanamaker, Philadelphia. . .-.,.:. . ... . 3,500,000
'
Total ,. . $12,773,000
We are all proud to stand up and say that no sac
rifice we make is big enough to meet the supreme
sacrifices being made by our brave Americans .and
allies in Europe.
Every member of our store family will be down on
our records as making some sacrifice in the gre"at
cause; and we are glad to make this public acknowl-
edgment of their unselfish co-operation in support of
our country.
' The savings of a lifetime are in the businesses,
and so far as possible! have put them at the disposal
of the Government, just as many of oiir people have
done with their savings.

Men's Velour Hats
Rich in Color and
Velvety in Texture
When the importation of velour hats
stopped, men who had been wearing them
said that American makers could never
equal them. Which shows how they under
rated" the skill and determination of Amer
ican makers.
We have some velour hats here that in
texture and colors compare favorably with
the finest that ever crossed the ocean.
They are in browns, greens and black, and
while they should cost more, we can sell
them for
'$8, $10 and $12.

As a Sale or an Exhibition
the Oriental Rug Event Is Equally
Unprecedented
It is keeping well within the
bounds of accuiacy to call it un
piecedented. The accuracy of the
statement l.s easy to prove.
The Chinese jugs, alone aie an
impresshe proof of it.
In all our yeais of lug selling
e have neer had uch a col
lection of thece weaves.
Uy which we mean that wo
hae never had so many piece.-,
and, above all, never so manv line
pieces, including many leal an
tique ones, in small sizes:. These
latter aie antiques in the true
sense, being old rugs that hae
softened and mellowed in color-to
a degree which gives them a
unique chaim and pioes theii
unique quality.
These, together with the great
carpet sizes palace pieces, as
thev have been called, in sizes
13.8x10 feet to 15.20 feet would
be enough to gie an incomputable
distinction to any assemblage of
rugs.
But tnero are other groups of
equal or greater beauty and value
from the viewpoint of the con
noisseur or lover of raie and pre
cious things.
There is a great Khorassan of
the old, old qualitv, with a daik
blue giound covered all over with
vases and floral devices in con
Hasting shades, notably sacred
1'eisiaii gieen.
For soltness, depth and lowli
ness of tone and beauty of textuie
this lug is a ti'easure piece.
Another such is an exquisite
Saraband, or Serebend, as some
call it.
This piece shows the chaiac
teristic Sataband device, the all
oxer palmette in led over a giound
of deep old blue and it has seven
hordei s lich in detail and chaim
of color.
It is a latge piece, 19.0x7.5 feet,
(MMenlli I Inor, ( eiitrul)
of a iaie and wonderful quality,
full of interest and delight 'for
loers of Oriental rugs who know
how to appreciate the old j'neom
paiablc, unduplicatable mellow
ness, beauty, softness, call it
what you may, for which the
'nigs of the East have been famed
for centuiies.
Of all other rugs the assort
ment is large beyond anything of
the kind in this country, and the
puces are suipiisingly low.
Ken the tieasuie pieces are
ma iked at much below their usual
latings, and all the less expensive
rugs are priced considerably be
low their legular value.
Carpet-size Chinese, Persian
and Caucasian rugs are $150 and
upward.
Small rugs, including Chinese,
-Mosuls, Irans, Dozarts, Kerman
Nliahs, Beluchistans, Daghestans,
Shirvans and hall strips are .f 18.50
and upward.
