Monday Evening's Cheerful Word From Wanamaker's
fc
, Certain Fish Can Only Be
Caught by Nets
because they will not bite at bait on a hook.
Where fish are plentiful, the fishermen and
others are full of fish stories. (Some one once
said that if every mullet was a brick, they
could be used to build a sea wall three feet
thick and ten feet high around Tampa Bay.)
There are many fish stories in the air in
Florida, where the waters of the great Gulf
of Mexico are so bountifully populated with
large and small fish.
Some of the fishing nets are made for
large fish only, that the little fish may escape
and "not be a bother."
Some business nets are made specially
to catch the weak-minded and lean-pocket-book
people, and with the idea if they can get
the poor and ignorant (the crowd, as it is
called), tKey are on the best highway;
whereas the people with least money have
greatest need to buy only the goods that will
last longest and look well as long as they last,
if properly cared for.

It Can, Be Proved by Figures
That a Parisienne Corset
renders value for value, in style, elegance, durability and
general satisfaction, for every dollar invested in it.
Some women wear ordinary

We wish those women could visit
the establishment in which the fa

The China and Glassware
Sale Begins
Its Last Week Today
The whole secret of good marketing is in knowing what
to buy and when and where to buy it. The time to buy china

Now is the time to buy china and glassware now when
the good kinds are so plentiful and low priced in the September

'It" will keep a big house up to 70
