WANAMAKER'S st.r, oP.3 .t o WANAMAKER'S I -. at WANAMAKER'S ( mZ"ER -K The Last Day of SeptemberWill Be One of the Busiest Here m r u lu& r Some Storekeepers Think That the Best W.ay to Please the People is to offer what they have to sell at reductions in prices, as if Philadelphiatis were built upon a scale that required merchandise to be trimmed up with peacock gaudery of some kind and that the'pcople of Philadelphia must be caught as fish with some kind of bait. It is an old jog-trot beaten track, apparently hard to get out of. It is one of the left-over remnants of the old method in vogue so long. The same people put on the article, first the price which they like, and then draw a pen or pencil through and mark a lower price, which in a large majority of cases is the price it should have been marked at first, and the same as others have always sold it at. y It is a great pleasure to be able to find the right price when the goods come in, and to sell them all out without filling the papers with reduced prices. It is a great pleasure for this Store to have made a New Kind of Store where people get fresh and certified qualities of goods at the true value, without the necessity of being concerned in any way whatever.
