Only the Most Interesting News Gets a Reading These Parlous Times
These Are Big Days
for America
The President's letters were not dreams in
prose, but visions of statesmanship. Thty have
shaken more than one throne.
As in the time of Abraham Lincoln, after
the call for troops, the people said to the Presi
dent: "We are coming, Father Abraham,
' one hundred thousand strong"
So have one hundred and ten millions said
the same to President Wilson with the six
billion troops of the-Fourth Liberty Loan, which
overtowered anything ever done in any country
at any time in enthusiastic patronage.
We are' coming, Mr. President, a
hundred millions strong.
With (he closing of the war seemingly in
sight, we have confidence that you will find the
way.

The Call for Pianos Is a
Significant Thing
Since the first of this year we have sold more pianos than we ever did
in a similar period. Without any special effort.
This shows that the people of Philadelphia regard the piano as a
necessity.
What with the constantly increasing cost of living, the necessity for
Liberty Loan subscriptions and various other unusual expenses, the public
can be depended upon to eliminate anything they consider luxury or
extravagance.
So when people cast about for some things they could do without
They Found They Could Not Do Without Music
Music means so much to so many of 'us that to be deprived of it
would be a real hardship.
And at times of stress like these a piano is a friend in need. Or if
you cannot play a piano by hand, then a player-piano or a reproducing piano.
In the Wanamaker Store, and in this Store only in Philadelphia, you
may choose from the following famous makes:
Chickering
Schomacker
Emerson
Lindeman
Knabe
Haines Bros.
Marshall and Wendell
. C. Campbell
There are over fifty styles of pianos, player-pianos and reproducing
pianos at prices so widely divergent that you may be sure of finding an
instrument at the price you wish to pay.
And if you like you may buy it on convenient terms for the same
price as if you paid cash, excepting that you pay a banking interest of
6 per cent on your unpaid balance.
