WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Ram Ready With the Goods at the Right Pricesor Better Iv It V h I'- It hi- The Darkest Day That America Ever Knew was that of April 15, . 1865, when President "Lincoln died by as sassination. At that time for weeks the United States, from Maine to California and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, wore the habiliments of mouriing. The Nearest Approach to Such a Day was that of the sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, four years ago, by the warship of an enemy, who thereby forced us into the world-wide war. No other day since Lincoln's time has been so full of tears and sdrrow. On Wednesday last, the anniversary day of the Lusitania horror, the German envoys at the Trianon Palace at Versailles, where the peace delegates assembled, confessed responsibility for Germany's acts, and the propositions of a peace treaty were placdd in their hands by Premier Clemenceau, President of the Confer ence, who declared it to be For a Good Peace Since the finish and presentation of the Constitution of the United Stated, no other document has" come before the world with such import and probable resultants as the require ments set forth in the written paper screed upon by the world's delegates to the Peace Con ference of Paris, in which the President of the United States so promptly took the initiative. The two billions of the people of the entire world hail with joy and new hope a good peace of justice and permanency as the inspiration for new energy to bring on the good times of happy employments and prospects of profitable and safe investments of capital which for four long years have been seriously affected. Let us be brothers the world over, in peace of mind and united action, starting afresh with confidence in each other on a new career to make the world a better place to live in. This is a big country and tlie hour calls for big men!

This is the subscription of our splendid corps of employes, from the chiefs of the management, the buyers and the entire rank and file of our people, between 6000 and 7000 in the Phila 'delphia Store, including Rodman Wanamaker and myself. This does not include any subscriptions from manufacturers or sources from which we purchase merchandise. It is solely the act of patriotism of our employes, under our own roof, that others outside may have due credit for their own patriotic subscriptions by making them in their own names. The entire subscriptions of both our businesses for this Fifth Victory Liberty Loan amount to $4,745,000, up to this time. This is not a moment for any one to hesitate as to duty to ward those that sleep in the forests of France and on the high hills, each under a little cross tagged with his name-they who gave their lives for their country. We promised, and we must not forget nor fail them. But it must be remembered also that there are over a million of our good boys still at the front ready to do the dying, if need be, to make sure of the peace that we are bargaining for; and we dare not halt in supporting them and surrounding them with comforts until our good ships return them to their sacrificing mothers and their old homes.

(ItoHii Malra "lorr-, t'ht-htntit) iLgl f The Buying of a Man's Suit Should Be No Excursion on a "River of Doubt" There is no excuse for the man who makes it such. The first experience of this Men's Clothing Store was a combat with doubt and mystifications and against these it has fought a winning fight. There is a measure, or standard, of values in all things. In men's clothing it is based upon the fabrics, the modeling and the workmanship. It involves quality, fashion and value for one's money. This is as true today as it was fifty or sixty years ago, and it will be equally true fifty years hence. l The broad, high road of certainty of certainty regarding each of these things is open for every man who cares to follow it. When we say that it leads directly to this Men's Clothing Store we don't mean to reflect upon any other store doing business on bona fide lines. No doubt there are good Summer suits to be found in different stores, but it is equally true that the stocks to be found in this Store are exclusively confined to the finest kinds of suits at every price, from the lowest priced at $28 to the highest-priced at $65. We are in the clothing business with the special purpose of confining ourselves exclusively to the finest ready-to-wear suits made in the United States, and we have them here to show how well we are carrying it out.
