Thank You, Sir, for Naming , Our Store "A Big Christmas Playground" Another smiling friend says, "We all feel like Christmas when we get in Wanamaker's." "Me, too," her cousin from up country says, adding, "we realize there is no drawback to your intentions to have us enjoy this big, roomy place, whether we come to look or to buy. Oh, but we do like it all over." Well Now, Good Friends, these short, busy days give you little time to read anything. 'v Please take it as a fact that this big, well-built house from top to bottom is' "chock full" of the best goods obtainable. They are rapidly selling because properly priced. We do not hold goods at high prices one day to mark them down the next, to then rush them off as a sale of reduced goods. We know that poor quality goods, highly advertised, arc never cheap though they may look so at first. We are content and happy in just doing the right thing every day to the best of our knowledge and belief. Signed Dec. 1?, 1018.
