EVENING' PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, SATDBDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 M The Great Organ Will Play Today at 9, 11 and 11:55 The Organ and Band at 4:45 WEATHER Fair WANAMAKER'S Store Opens at 9 WANAMAKER'S Store Closes at 5 WANAMAKER'S ' lU I. i-w Making the Most Important Talking General Pershing, the Great American Soldier and Commander of Our Victorious Armies was the noblest figure amid the vast throngs that greeted him, filling the streets of our city, where , hundreds of thousands were in sight at many points ' of the route and places where he spoke, eager to do j him honor. j His poise was magnificent. It was evident not only to the brilliant staff of high-grade officers that surrounded him, but to the people at large, that General Pershing was not only capable, but masterful and perfectly able to command even difficult situations In the various functions that fell to his , doing in the two brief hours that he spent in the city. His keen eyes measured accurately each of the situations j in which he was placed. The words he spoke in Independence Hall with much feel ing, beginning with the sentence, "This is holy ground," were fittingly choosen and most impressive. His quick eye and resolute command, when he stepped to the front in Independence Square and ordered back the people that were crowding hard upon the women in front of them, met with instant obedience. General Pershing is a commander and evidently knows what to do in emergencies. General Pershing would not waste any time with inefficient people. General Pershing sees little things to do and does them quickly. It was a most gracious and proper thing to do the little , act of kindness to leap from his automobile into the street after accepting the beautiful blue and gold flag of the City Arms, the gift of the Commercial Institute of this Store, and walk along the lines on each side of the street inspecting the cadets, who numbered 490. j His short visit all too short for the big welcoming host 1 of Philadelphia will never be forgotten. There has been nothing like it in our lifetime since Grant came back from j his trip around the world. The young fellows of our military organization and the j young ladies in the women's regiment, and the trumpeters, and the members of the military band, surely will not forget f the broad-shouldered, clear-eyed, great soldier, who stooped over them, recognizing their young citizenship and giving them .good cheer with a smile and a touch of his hand. General Pershing must come back again and give us more time, when we will see that Philadelphia, big as it is, can give him a bigger welcome and more courtesies than could be crowded into the brief visit of yesterday. General Pershing, come back again! Signed Sept. 13, 1010. fyjjkmtfa I The Sumptuous New Silks For the Fashions of 1919-1920 Monday, for the first time, these beautiful silks may bo seen and admired.

For the first time in the his tory of any city or any store, so far as we know, all the great talking machines and phono graphs made in America are to be brought together in one store, so that everybody about to buy one of these magnificent musical instruments can choose at will from all the good ones. This is an accomplishment long desired by the public, but never before attained. The talking machine or phono graph, whichever name you prefer, is the greatest home musical instru ment of the age. It will sing or play anything. It is limited only by the bounds of human artistry. We have found eight great ma chines of merit in America. Heretofore you would find one machine in one store, another in an other, a third in a third, and so on, each with its accompanying records. If you went to a Victrola store, you got only the Victrola and the Victrola records. If you went to a Columbia store, you got only the Columbia instrument and the Colum bia records. If you wanted to make a selection from the productions of all the great artists you had to go all over the city from one store to another. That is all changed now. The Wanamaker Store announces eight great talking machines and a full supply of records for all of them, and the records are generally inter changeable. You can come to the Wana maker Store at once and visit the Talking Machine and Pho nograph Secton and test out for your own satisfaction the merits of these eight great instruments: BRUNSWICK CHENEY COLUMBIA EDISON PAT HE SONORA VICTROLA VOCALIAN The prices of these machines in their various types range all the way from $20 to $6000. Whatever the style of the furni ture in your home, you can secure an instrument to match it that is, you can match up your furniture with an instrument of any one of the eight makes described here. Please note that this Wanamaker collection is not an assemblage of ex perimental or little-known instru ments, but comprises every talking machine or phonograph that has a national reputation. This Store is the only store to ex hibit and sell them all. Xot only that, but a small initial deposit will secure any instrument in the collection with the most reason able terms for the payment of diu rest. 1 1 takes only a few dollars to have sent home any one of these magnifi cent instruments with a collection of records from any of the various makes, or comprising all of them, if you choose.
