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.

The Chickering piano, a piano for aristocrats,
has become an aristocrat among pianos.
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.

Colored Silk Stockings
Greatly Reduced
All well-dressed women know that colored stockings have
not been so much in demand recently as plain black.
But not all well-dressed women know that colored
stockings are coming into vogue again.
This is the time to be prepared, when you can get plain
colored stockings for $1 a pair and clocked for $1.50 a pair
in grades that are usually about one-half more.

Wanamaker Special Corsets

Of excellent brochc, these corsets are kinds that it would
be difficult to duplicate for most as much again.
They are in brand-new models, and have just come to us
from the maker. The materials are of fine quality; most
of the corsets are almost topless, but slightly higher in back
and made with good, long skirts just what most women
want.
They are well boned, beautifully made and exceptional,
indeed, for $3.50.

Wednesday Is the Day
Wednesday, the day after tomorrow, is the day that will show how our
work measures up to our words.
We are eager for it to come, because we have something fine in store for
all our friends. Nothing so fine, so comprehensive, so immense in variety, so
overflowing with opportunity, so beautiful in every way, has up to now been
seen in Philadelphia as the stocks which we have assembled for
The Great
February Furniture Sale
Wednesday next, the first day of cour
tesy and inspection, these stocks will be
ready for everybody to see and to enjoy and
to select from. Two more days of advance
inspection will follow Thursday and Fri
day, January 30 and 31. On any one of these
days advance selections may be made, all
transactions to date from next Saturday,
February 1.
Wednesday is also the first of three
inspection days in the-
Sale of Oriental and Domestic
Rugs and Also in the
Sale of Mattresses and Bedding
It will be a wonderful day for everybody
with a home or a home interest.
"Have nothing in your homes that
you do not know to be useful and
believe to be beautiful," wrote William
Morris.
It is the golden rule of home-making.
Pity it is that so many people fail to live up
to it, but their number is lessening. If there
has ever been an excuse for useless or
unlovely things in the home or the apart
ment there is not the shadow of one now.
For these allied sales we have brought
together what is reasonably believed to be
the largest and best-chosen assemblage of
useful, beautiful and reliable household
merchandise ever presented at reduced
prices in this or any other city.
Roughly, 16,000 Pieces of
Furniture Are Now
on These Floors
More than twice sixteen thousand are
in reserve. They represent the cream of
the best cabinet-work turned out in this
country. All our furniture stocks are in this
r
sale; hundreds of rich and beautiful Orien
tal rugs are in it. together with a fine assort
ment of domestic rugs.
All our mattresses, springs, bolsters
and pillows are in it; all our experience of
trying to do things better is in it; all our
energies are in it, and all our confidence as
well.
On Wednesday we shall be delighted to
show you the goods.
