In 1912, Seven Years Ago
next September, the pencil which writes and signs
this wrote on the back of an envelope, at the request
of the. writer's son, the first of these daily editorials.
It seems as if only clumsy fingers were the
battery touching a telegraphic wire stretched
through the window of every home and office in this
good old city, with a message of good will and
patriotism, as well as a business notice when
practicable. Often in the past four years of war
hundreds of pieces have been written purely as a
citizen apart from any selfish interest.
The letters of responsiveness and thankfulness
that have come back from the people have been like
the old farmer's little candle lit in a public assembly
in New England' when they were debating about
proclaiming a fast and he proposed a Thanksgiving
Day.
The letters of approval of things written or
work done in improving business life which have
come from citizens and fellow-countrymen from all
over the United States run to 99 per cent, with less
than one per cent of criticism, for every one of which
we have been thankful.
"That man who will learn of none but himself is
sure to have a fool for his master." This was said
by B.,F.
One friend of the writer says: "There is
nothing like a fixed, steady aim with an honorable
purpose. It dignifies your nature and, if steadily
kept in view, insures your success."
Thanks again to neighbors and friends for the
little beds of pansies and the luxurious beauty of
the woodbines you have planted for us. They twine
about our porch. They seem to be like upright stems
of the good understanding we hold for each other.
Signed
June 9, 1910.
When a Girl Opens Her Wardrobe Doors and
Sees a Row of Cool Wash Frocks
she may have a satisfied feeling
that she is ready for the hot
weather season. But if she hasn't
those same frocks in her ward
robe, theiT"tfe'd suggest that she

Salons and pick out all she needs
at once, for the stocks are full
and fresh and inviting and there's
fine choosing.

The Ambition to Own an
Ampico Reproducing
Piano
is one that has been growing among musicians and music-lovers
for several years. Since the first Ampico showed the world what
wonders a reproducing piano could perform, this instrument has
been the acknowledged climax of piano achievement.
Many people who own fine pianos and player-pianos of other
kinds are exchanging them for Ampico reproducing pianos. These
last are not only incomparable in reproduction, but being asso
ciated onln with the best of the older pianos, can be played by
hand with as great satisfaction as any.
The Ampico reproducing piano owes its superiority to its
unique construction, whereby the sound of a note is recorded by
vibration as long as the note SINGS. Other player-pianos record
the notes by the impression of a punch on the roll.
Ampico reproducing pianos are sold in Philadelphia at
Wanamaker's only. A demonstration may be had for the asking,
and puts you under no obligation to buy.
Chickering Ampico uprights, $17Q0.
Schomacker Ampico uprights, $1500.
Haines Bros. Ampico uprights, $1100.
Marshall and Wendell Ampico uprights, $1000.
The celebrated Knabe Ampico uprights, $1650.
Chickering Ampico grands, $2750, $2950 and $3200.

and $3350.
Any of these instruments may be bought on convenient terms.

So Far, So Good
There Are Many Silks Here
But do you know that raw silk has gone up to $10 a pound? (It
has been as lowias under $4 a pound.)
Moreover, everything about the silk making has steadily increased
in cost throwing, reeling, twisting, weaving, dyeing and finishing.
There are shorter hours to be reckoned and higher paid labor.
For some months since we have foreseen this time and bought
fine fashionable, reliable silks to sell even up to now at normal prices.
Perhaps the variety is not as great as formerly, but it is still very good
in all the most popular silks. And the quality is here.
We would like to offer the friendly advice to every person to buy
supplies as soon as possible. Later prices will certainly be higher and
there will certainly be less choice.
Colored Georgette crepes are still $1.75 and $2.25 a yard.
Heavy washable satin, pink or white, 36 inches wide, $3 a yard.

Linen Towels of
Real Merit at
50c and 75c Each
Linen towels of even a toler
ably good kind at 50c and 75c
each are few and far between.
Linen towels such as these at
50c and 75c each are certainly
exceptional. Linen, as applied to
them, means all linen. They were
made by a Scotch manufacturer
whose towels we have sold in
hundreds of thousands, always
with satisfaction to the people
who bought them.
The towels at 50c each are
heavy, pure flax weaves, 6ize 18x
35 inches, with hemmed ends.
Those at 75c each are a better
quality of heavy huckaback with
hemmed ends and in size 19x38.
All are as good merchandise as
a good housekeeper could put her
money in.
There Is Such a Difference if
Men's Tropical Suits
Some kinds of tropical suits keep a man cool at the1
expense of his appearance.
Others keep his appearance up and his temperature
down.
For tropical suits of this latter kind, this is the store.
Tropical fabrics call for fine tailoring.
We do our level best to have our tropical suits tai
lored as well as it is possible to have them. Our own inter
est demands this as well as that of our customers.
We have these suits for selling at $18 to $35, and we
know they are the best that men can get for the money
anywhere. Applied to fabrics this means "Palm Beach,"
breeze-weave, mohair and goods of that kind.

Boston Bag?

bag, it is an ideal receptacle for
business men and women and
students. It is made of soft black
or tan cowhide or goatskin and
with double handles.
Various sizes at prices ranging
from $5 to $15.

The Finest Cut Glass We Have Ever
Had for the Money Is in the
Don't Feel
Oppressed at the
Mention of
Blankets
The blankets to which this
applies are not blankets in
the sense of warmth they
are really light-weight, cool,
summer sheets, woven of wool
and cotton, mixed, and some
of all-wool.
One of their advantages Is
that they are so sanitary,
being open in weave, so that
when washed and put out to
dry the air goes right through
their every fiber. .
These can be used in any
weather in which bed cover
ings of any kind are toler
able. Six grades in three sizes,
all cut and bound separately,
some all white, others with
borders of either pink or blue.
Prices $9.50 to $30 a pair.
Other thin cotton blankets
suitable for hot weather use
at $2.50, $3, $4.50 and $5 a
pair.
