The Final Word
of the Fifth Victory Liberty Loan
On Saturday Mr. E. Pusey Passmorc, Governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia, received the
following telegram from New York :
' "Horn in Philadelphia, where American patriotism
started, I am so proud of the city I love, and so jealous
of her reputation, that I ask the prhiloRc and honor of
taking the last million dollars of her Victory Loan quota.
"RODMAN WANAMAKER."
This amount and $550,000 additional raised in our
New York Store on Saturday, added to the $10,365,000
already announced for the Philadelphia and New York
Stores, bring theTStal subscriptions for the owners and
rank and fde of the two Stores up to
$11,915,000
taken in this loan; and the sum of our whole endeavors
in the five great war loans of the Government becomes
$39,239,550
as follows:
First loan $2,621,100
Second loan 3,626,7.'i0
Third loan 5,625,550
Fourth loan 15,451.150
Fifth loan 11,915,000
$39,239,550
It is a great privilege to have had a part in
financing the war.
We are always trying to do our best, and have never
stopped trying until we have done something better.

A Young Man's Fancy
In a Suit of
Clothes
5 It is a very interesting thing.
I The business of satisfying his fancy with the right
suit is very interesting business.
I We ought to know, because we have been a long
time engaged in it.
I Any young jnan with an eye for fashion and an
appreciation for reliability will quickly find his suit
in these stocks.
& The increasing number of young men who are
doing so is the best proof of this. They can see for
themselves that we have not studied and worked out
this problem of young men's suits without having
something to show for it.
J Right fashion and reliability are a strong com
bination. Both are combined in our young men's
suits the reliability to make the suit hold its lines
and to make the fashion worth while.
J The prices are $28 to $50. Nobody who charges
less gives so much for the money.

Are Not India Prints
Hut you would almost stake jour word that they pre, so cleverly
have the English imitators worked.
They are such fascinating table covers, runners and pillow covers
as one used to pick up at Liberty's, in London, where they had been
imported from India.
Hand blocks hae been used in the printing (you can see wher
the colors overlap) and there aro the samp -queer designs and odd color
ings. Kven the cotton cloth, its narrow width and piecing have been
copied.
These covers would look especially well in Summer homes and on
porches and, one thing is certain, this is the only place, outside of
Kngland, you will see them.
