These June Days Are
Teaching Us Good
Lessons
of how things grow. The flowering plants and
little berry bushes all have three periods of
growth.
The first and slowest, all invisible at the
root.
The second, and much quicker, the visible
growth of the stem.
The third period, wheti root and stem have
combined their forces and the plant quickly
unfolds its blossom and rushes into fruit.
The beginnings of enterprises educational,
reforms political and engineering extraordi
nary, like our vast city underground railroad
way, or the Delaware River tunnel, or a
commercial project like this Store with its
outreach and intakes, are not possible to be in
view except as theygrow for weeks and months
into visualization. But those on the inside know
of the growth always going on.

Coolness
for a Man
Throwing off the
smothering kind of
clothes is natural,
but it is in choosing
the lighter" things
that a man shows
his sense or lack
of it.
It. took the men of
these parts some
time to appreciate
the value of a trop
ical suit, but now
they understand all
about the cool ad
vantage of it or, at
least, most of them
do.
What we want them
particularly to under
stand is that all trop
ical suits should be
well tailored on ac
count of the lightness
of the fabrics used in
them, but that some
are better tailored
than others and ours
are of the better-tailored
kind we have
none of the other kind
absolutely none.
For the man who has
yet to buy his tropical
suit there is a real ad
vantage in choosing
from a collection that
includes only the best-
tailored kind to be
found anywhe're for
the prices $18 to $35
in "Palm Beach,"
breeze-weave and mo
hair materials.
Flannel trousers
also at $9 to $12.50.

June Is Still More Lovely1

"What so rare as a day in June?" the poet sang.
And the answer might

a fine old melody stealing out from the house to some of

With a player-piano anyone i
can have music in June
In Lowell's day only a fortunate few could play
the piano and there were not many pianos to play. To-T
day anyone who cares for music can make it with a,
player-piano and can have the finest music in the worlds
at his command. n
In the Wanamaker Store are player-pianos and'
reproducing pianos that represent the highest develop-
ment of these instruments. They are associated with:
pianos whose names are famous the country over j
