In
Running a Race Requires
Strength, Dieting and Grit
A man's best record, so far as present
information at hand, is one minute and fifty
two and three-fifths seconds on a half-mile run.
Outdoor exercise in tennis, croquet and golf
counts tremendously for good and adds to
efficiency of professional and business men and
women.
President Benjamin Harrison regarded the
walks he took every day during his presidency
as of the utmost importance to his health and
clearness of brain.
Any man may walk a mile in his ordinary
gait, on a level road, in eighteen minutes and
make three or three and a half miles easily in
an hour.
Speed and distance, however, are not so
important as the swinging of the arms and legs
in the open air for an hour or more,
It is not possible, always, to walk from
home to business, but now that business hours
are shortened, by an early start many could do
it with benefit to health.
The public compliments us continually on
the air and ventilation that our Store building
gives.

Why Leave Anything to Chance
in Buying a Piano ?
To say nothing of the disappointment of getting an inferior piano, the money
loss amounts to anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a thousand or more.
A piano may sound right when you first hear it, or for some time thereafter,
but only by getting a thoroughly good and honorable make can you be sure that
the tone will last, and that it can be tuned successfully in the future.
Hundreds of instruments look and sound well in stores, but they will not
LAST.

Schomacker Haines Bros.

Here are eight of the best-known and best-liked pianos in America. Three
of them are among the foremost ten pianos of the world. They are to be had at
Wanamaker's only in Philadelphia, and we shall be glad to demonstrate any or
