There Are More Women of
Affairs in this City
than ever before.
The Liberty Bond, Red Cross, Emergency
Aid, Belgian Relief and other humanitarian
works of the past four years, in which the women
plunged with might and main, have raised up a
multitude of
Women of Affairs
eager and competent to do a part in the manage
ment of everyday business affairs.
Men no longer monopolize the business
places.
Women have been "tried out," and have
proven to have as great endurance as men.
Women have more tact and accuracy than
men.
There is far more reciprocity in line manners
between women and women.
Men have lessons to learn in speech and good
manners toward each other.
It is a fact that women are taking more
pains to succeed in business than ever before and
to make themselves independent as earners of
their oAvn support.'
This many-sided Store, packed from lop to
bottom with lovely things, and ship and train
loads being received from makers every twenty
four hours
is a good place to
sec how easy and comfortable
it is to shop
There is a large percentage of our attendants
from the colleges and the graduates of high
schools.
All hours are good, and there is plenty of
room for everybody, and no one is ever urged to
do anything but to be at home and take time to
look before buying.

Their quest usually leads
them to the collection of

always rewarded by the
finding of the thing de
sired. Here you will see nov

A Player-Piano Brings
Good Cheer the Whole
Year 'Round
We cannot believe that there arc many people who do not
realize what a wonderful gift a player-piano i.
We belieo the people of this city are divided into two classes
those who have player-pianos and those who want them, with a few
who have player - pianos and want better ones.
This matter of the absence of a player-piano is going to be
remedied in many homes, this Christina',. The question in such
cases is which' player-piano to buy.
Whether you buy here or elsewhere, let us impress upon you
the importance of getting a thoroughly dependable instrument. It
is easy to be sure of that if you will just keep firmly fixed in your
mind that you want a piano that has a known and deserved repu
tation, and not permit any one to talk you into buying some other
make.
C flickering
Schumacher
Emerson
Lindeman
Knabe
Haines Bros
Marshall and Wendell
.. C. Campbell
These are eight of tho best-known piano names in America.
Three of them are among tho first five pianos of the country.
We have numerous styles of player and reproducing pianos
of these makes, and with every instrument you have not only the
guarantee of a large and responsible factory, but the additional
warranty of tho Wanamaker Stoie. You cannot make a mistake on
any of them.
Pi ices start at $G00 for a player-piano made in the same
factory that makes the Angelus and go to $,'1500 for a magnificent
Chickcring or Knabe Ampico grand reproducing piano.
