Now Is Surely the Time to Buy All Your Winter Shoes
"At Their Head Was Pershing"
When New York Went Wild
upon Wednesday's Receptioii to the Great
American -General
John J. Pershing
Two millions of people thronged the streets
then, and today it is estimated that the entire
country of Philadelphia, with Delaware, Mont
gomery and Bucks in part, will flock together to
do honor to
Pershing the Great Commander
familiarly known among
The Soldier Boys as "Jack"
"At their head was Pershing," read the New
York newspapers in telling of the marvelous
pageant.
Pershing's war record says wherever there
was duty, danger or a desperate undertaking,
Pershing headed the column.
Big soldiers, like General Grant, do not talk
much; they simply do things.
When Pershing visited Lafayette's tomb in
Paris on his birthday to p"ut a wreath upon it, he
simply said :
When Thousands of Pair for Men and Women
Are Average Half Price in a Sale
We cannot regulate prices of the entire shoe market, but we have done the
next best thing.
We have made it possible for thousands of men and women to buy all the
shoes they will need for this Winter or even for next Summerat average half
of regular prices.
High and low shoes in many styles and all good leathers.
All Wanamaker standard footwear mostly reduced from our own regular
stocks.
"Lafayette, we are here"
With the city full of our Knights Templar
guests, we will open store at 9, our usual time,
and close it at 10:30, when General Pershing
reaches Independence Hall, and reopen again at
12 noon, after the ceremonies are over.
On the route of march on Market Street
passing the Store the J. W. C. I. Girls' and Boys'
Regiments will, by request of the Mayor, be in
line on the street and present to General
Pershing the flag of the City of Philadelphia.
The Grand Organ will have a special
program of patriotic selections during the period
that the Store is closed.
Signed
Sept. 12, 1919.

Good Quality Is the
Mark of These
Boys' New Fall Suits
Wc insist upon good quality in
our boys' suits and we get it. 'The
one thing a poorly mude suit will
not do is to hold its shape after a
real boy has worn it for a month
or two.
The work has not been put into it.
The reason Wanamaker boys'
suits hold their shape under stress
of service is because the work has
been put into them.
The new Fall suits that we are
now showing are Wanamaker suits.
They will stand up under hard
wear, because they 'have been tai

gray, brown and fancy mixed goods

Fine Safe Enamelware in the
Housefurnishing Sale at
Special Prices
There are a great many kinds of enamelware in the market
that is, metal ware covered over witl a glazed enamel. The
glazing is really glass and glass is one of the most brittle sub
stances known.
It is a very nice operation to put enamel on metal with just
the right temperature and at just the right composition so that
the glazed enamel and the metal will expand evenly together.
When this is not accomplished perfectly the ware is marked at a
lower price and from this sort of enamelware fine particles of
glass may find their way into the food.
For this reason it is a dangerous business to buy any sort
of cheap enamelware.
In our Housefurnishing Store we never permit enamelware
except such as is tested for its qualities of heat endurance and also
tested as to its chemical composition.
Good enamelware costs more at the outstart than cheap, im
perfect enamelware, but like many other standard things, it ill,
less expensive in the long run. ,
In the Housefurnishinc Sale there are several tkuaaud
articles of good, practical gray enamelware at raduatfeM ,
