R" Every Man Who Puts His Life Blood Into His Work does it occasionally because of times and changing circumstances. But now we are compelled to make a new start oftener than once in a while or only on the advent of a new year. We believe that this Store has a mission in the world. Therefore we must set about accomplishing it. The close of the war and the new order of things facing the United States, the readjustments of com merce, finance, shipping and labor, and the re-establishment of manu facturing require deep and broad study and immediate treatment. We are in many ways specially favored because the manufacturers, the world around, with whom we have dealt for over a half century, count on us for the quantity of merchandise for which we have the outlet in Philadelphia and New York. We are' anxious to extend our influence and to have every home in this city understand the advantages we have, and our enterprise in new channels to obtain merchandise, in seeking and preserving the old rela tions we. may have with the best makers of everything, and in gather ing at the earliest moment under our roof a large share of home and foreign products. It Signed' March IS, 1919. 7yhe Gay New Sports Skirts for Young JVomen are sometimes of the loveliest new silks, and sometimes of wool cloths. The silk skirts are particularly attractive.

(Main Floor, Thirteenth) A Fine Bit of News! 1 Chinese Potigee Suiting Imported to Sell at $2 It is a well known fact that for the past four years this fine hand-woven men's suiting has been costing a dollar a yard more. Now with this new importation a readjustment of price has taken place and the old rating is restored. Not everybody can or does appreciate this silk, but discriminating men and women know its value for tailored suits, dresses, wraps and negligees. It has no rival for the combination qualities of wearing and washing. Also, it is more fashionable this Spring than ever I before.

The fabrics are sound. The making is the finest we have yet seen in any ready-to-wear suits for boys. It is, as an experienced clothing-mnkcr called it, "superfine." It shows in almost even' detail of the garment. This extra care and fineness in tailor work means not onlv extra deoendableness in the wear, and extra neatness in the fit. but it also means an extra degree of beauty and distinctiveness in every suit. The new Spring selections are large and varied. For suits in sizes 8 to 18 years the prices are $20 to $30. (Second Floor, Central) f2ys Like the New - Crease- Crown Hats A tweed hat style originated by Wanamaker's. Fashioned to make the crease perfect and the brim curve gracefully.

That this is perfectly tpie is proved by the amount of inferior clothing always in the market and by the demand there is always for it. It is not that men are absolutely in different about what they are getting for their money, but that so many of them are inclined to be satisfied with clothing which, to them, LOOKS all right they are satis lied with surface qualities. Scarcely any two things can be more different than two suits of clothes made of the same material and apparently in the same style. The difference between them can range anywhere from 5 to 100 per cent, according to the amount and kind of tailor ing and trimmings. All the men's suits that we sell are modeled and tailored according to one rule, and that means as well as it is humanly possible to have them. Regarding the new Spring suits that we are now showing we can say that it is not practically possible under present condi 'tions for any store to have better-made or finer-modeled suits to sell for the same prices. Not only that, but, taking this Spring selection as a whole, we doubt whether there is any showing that really equals it in the things that make for real class and character in men's clothing, especially in the style, hand-tailoring and perfect finish of the garments. This holds true of our suits for men of all ages from the first-long-trouser suits upward. New Spring suits -$28 to $65. New Spring overcoats $35 and upward. (Third Floor, Market) Men's Silk-Stripe Madras Shirts for Spring The silk stripes still further enhance the already beautiful designs, which are colored stripes in unusual combinations.
