In Egyptian Hnll at 2:30 WANAMAKER'S Store Opens 9 A. M. WANAMAKER'S Store Closes 5 P. M. WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Unsettled This Store Is Always Trying to Give Its Friends New Satisfactions ...vic , j .1 Virgil Said of the Rowing Crew in His Boat Race "They will win because they believe they can." 'The first impulse with some men is to say, "It cannot be done," when a difficult thing is under discussion. To think great things and to attempt great things arc well worth while. To dismiss an idea or a suggestion on the first blush without reflection, and to reply to ourselves or to the others that "it is impossible," are just what Robert Fulton, James Watt.' Glenn H. Curtis! and Thomas A. Edison did not do. Some of us know many men and women who have experienced wonderful surprises in discover ing power in themselves, the existence of which they never dreamed of until the exigencies of the war revealed them to themselves. Try to believe "you can" and go to work at once without giving time for the birds of doubt to build nests to sleep in. This Store and its contents represent ideas which were born while we were feeling our way along. Signed March 7, 1010.
