, Honor Brings Responsibility
To be born in Philadelphia, where the nation was born, is an honor
with distinctive individual responsibilities,
To live near to the historic battle grounds, of which Independence
Hall and the Liberty Bell are the center, imposes upon us patriotic leader
ship. It is impossible to forget Valley Forge.
To live in the city which was the home of the first President of the
.united states superimposes upon city and city otticiais and the public
, generally the duty of setting the example to the entire United States of
observing the birthday of the Father of his Country by patriotic ceremonies
of a reverential and impressive character.
An education at the city's expense in the public schools of 6245
teachers and officials and its future citizens of 209,888 scholars creates
an obligation on the part of those, receiving it to become thoroughly
acquainted with the part Philadelphia had in the Bevolutionary War and
the lives of the heroic men and women of that period; and by annual public
exercises of a public nature to quicken their patriotism and pride in their
city.
Every citizen and corporation should endeavor to promote the honor
of this' first American city by being and doing such things as will add to the
city's influence in' the United States and its fame across the seas.

One inevitable result Of selling so much furniture as we have sold during the past three weeks-;
or more, is that we now have a large accumulation of odd or single pieces and suits.
During the last five days of the sale, commencing Monday, we are going to make a general clear
away of all these at half the regular prices.
Whether one should buy furniture at half price or not depends upon the furniture. So far as
quality and desirableness are concerned, this is not half-price furniture; it is Wanamaker furniture, the
kind on which the Wanamaker furniture business has been built up.
During the remaining days of February there will be as much of this standard quality furniture
offered at half price as would stock a fair-sized furniture store with single suits and pieces.

If You Delight
in Eastern
Embroideries
then this advertisement
especially for you.
Some of the priests' robes
and other robes which have
been laid away in chests in
the Oriental Store are show
ing the effects of time
their seams arc breaking
apart, and in some instances
the fabrics themselves are
giving way. Such an inevit
able condition does not alter
their value to artists or to peo
ple who love color for its own
sake and. who could mend and
use these robes for hangings
or table-covers or other deco
rative purposes, but it docs
weaken our desire to keep
them. So we have reduced
them all and they may
be had for a third less in
some instances even a half
less than their original prices.
You will find them in the
newly arranged "Embroidery
Room" of the Oriental. Store.
