WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Fair 1 VI nrKlil'4 Chimes at HlrnkA nr Nnnn i l y othing Pleasanter, of a Gentle Winter Day, Than a Visit to the Wanamaker Store To Young Men Beginning Business or contemplating doing so. Look up your best business friend who is likely to be interested in you and go over the situation with him. , If you have good health, and set the wheel of your principles rightly, and keep your own hands on the wheel, and your eyes on your business chart laid out on paper, while in shallow waters, it is next to impossible for you to run aground. Be sure of yourself, however, in the beginning; a man may be excellent under a good master, but not at all competent to be a principal. Try to speak candidly to yourself of yourself. We cannot all be principals or even partners. . When a man knows that 'he "loses his head easily," or in other words under sudden difficulties loses his balance, better far for him to hold on to the place he knows he can fill and in it get more experience before he risks his reputation and money and loses both by a failure. To be continued If this Store can be of any use to you in its system and plans, be free to say so.

To own a Chickering is evidence of musical dis cernment and taste and is, in a way, a mark of distinction. The Chickering piano originated in this country over four generations ago and grew up with America. It is no alien. In spite of the long and vhonorable record of the Chickering and the important list of people who have owned Chickering pianos, its price does not bar it from any but the humblest home. This is more particularly true when you consider that at Wana maker's, the only Store in Philadelphia where the Chickering piano is shown, you may buy one of these instruments on convenient terms. Special We have a few new Chickering upright pianos in discontinued styles reduced to $525 and $575.
