In a Kindly Letter of Months
Ago a Thoughtful Woman
wrote that she was riding: in a Market street trolley
car where two men stood in front of her, talking, one
of them, pointing out to the other points of interest
along the street, adding, "I am sorry you have stood
so long, but we are near to Wanamaker's, and then
you will get a seat."
The stranger laughed. "Ever since I moved to
Philadelphia," lie said, "I have been told that I could
get this, that or the other at Wanamaker's. Now it
seems that I can even get a seat in the street car."
There are eight large doors from the four wide
streets for the people to find entrance and exit, and
four fire and smoke proof towers, each of them
within a minute and a quarter, on each floor for the
safety of all the people who come.
From the top to the bottom are forty-eight
elevators running every minute for the public
service.
All the hospitalities of the great building are
free and with a welcome to everybody, and to
strangers, especially.
Signed
Dee. 4, 1019.

Ampico Reproducing Piano
The Ampico reproducing piano is first of all a groat piano
It bears such famous names as Chlckcring, Schomacker, Haines
Bros., Marshall and Wendell and the celebrated Knabc.
The most finished and fastidious musician will ask no better
piano to play by hand.
But it is the amazing fidelity with which the Ampico le
produces the master's touch that has made it so renowned. When
it plays a roll you can scarcely credit the testimony of your eyes
that n living artist is not at the keyboard.
An Ampico reproducing piano would make one of tho finest
Christmas gifts imaginable. Wo t-hall be glad to, demonstrate
what this instrument can do, and you will be incurring no obliga
tion by making the request. '

A Gift of Good Furniture Keeps One
in Grateful Remembrance
THE giving of furniture
becomes more general
as the years pass. The
thought that it makes a
gift of permanence and
character seems to have
taken possession of the
people. In giving furni
ture they feel, for one
thing, that they are giving
a gift for the years and
so they are, provided they
know how to select it.
We sell no kind of furni
ture at Christmas that we
do not sell all the year
round, the only difference
being that during the
Christmas season our
stock of the more novel
and gift-like pieces is nat-
