There Is Shoddy
Manhood
as well as shoddy silks and shoddy
trouserings, and shoddy storekeep
ing, banking and advertising.
. Get out of the fogs of chance, luck
and unpreparedness.
Choose carefully your vocation,
grip it hard and climb from the foot
of your class to the top. Do not say
at the beginning you cannot do it and
it is no use to try.
Buckle yourself up to it and keep
buckled up, .and your storms of
impatience, discouragement and dark
days of cloud will end with the
rainbow of success.
Stick steadily to your work until
it is the best, and your work will
bring honor to you as the best of
your profession or trade.

THE season of 1919-1920 will be remembered a
a Silk Season in Fashion.
The whole favor of Fashion leans to silks.
There are more silks worn in America today than
ever before. There are more silks worn in America
than in any other country in the world. Every
woman and every girl must have at least one silk
dress.
And men are wearing silks more than ever be
fore. The charm and the comfort of the silk shirt
are irresistible.
All things considered, it is a wise fashion,
for silks are economical.
It is true that raw silk sells for almost twice as
much today as it formerly did, but our fine silks
have by no means made such an advance.
Low-grade, cheap silks everywhere had to be
practically doubled in price, but the advance in the
price of fine silks such as wc sell is not proportionate
to the advance of the price of raw silks.
In fact, tho advances in the price of fine silks
have not been proportionate with advances in cotton
and wool fabrics.
Silks, good silks, are still economical. They are
proportionately the most economical of all wearing
fabrics. ,
Buy good, sound, full-bodied silks today and you
buy well.
But by all means be sure you buy your silks only
in a store you can trust. Dot not buy cheap silks,
do not buy- "seconds" of silks, do not buy "jobs" of
silks.
In the Wanamaker Silk Store you are protected
from all these things.
The Greatest Silk in Fashion at
the Moment Is Satin
Good American satin, fine, heavy, full bodied,
lustrous, with lots of silk in it and nothing else.
