This Store in One Sense Is a
Multiplication Table
It does not have to be proved, but when actually
learned it can be depended on in its results. The
methods governing this business are exact when
properly understood and equally worked out.
Under its systeni a new vision and a new indi-
' yiduality have come into storekceping throughout the
, ,Uhifed States, within the p'ast few years.
We are neither cranks nor fanatics in firmly
claiming that pitfalls in merchandising and misrepre
sentation are not only dishonorable, but degrading to
the mercantile profession.
We never thought of pulling anybody, down, but
by the publicity of our methods and the urgency of
their universal adoption have sought ;to push others
up, but the ways and sways of long-established cus
toms are not easily changed or moved.
We have got to absorb a truth before we can be
a pioneer.
There was a time when every store in this city
opposed this one, with its entirely new power of mer
chandising and methods.
People at first despised the Marconi systeni of
telegraphing, tut last week we kept track of the'
President solely by the wireless messages.
Light comes often from unexpected quarters.
False sensationalism is not a builder of a perma
nent business of any kind

Christmas Taught Some People
How Flat New Year's Would
Be Without Music
No matter how merry your Christmas was,
unless there was music in your home it was not
so merry as it might have been.
No matter how happy your New Year's Day
will be, unless there is music in your home it Will
not be so happy as it might.

humanness of hand playing. If you own an
Ampico, the great pianists will play for you in
your home as faithfully as if they were actually

The Wanamaker Store will gladly demon
