Ready for Those That Will Now Take Time to Consider Their Own Need
Many People Are Starting South
to Meet the Spring
and somehow, when the Winter weather in the South
begins to take us in its Summery embrace, we feel
like yielding ourselves to being caressed forever by it
and be put to sleep in the 'daylight by the mocking
birds, which, before dawii, woke the sleeping sun and
told him that it was time for him to light up their
concert room.
It is a good world, really, if we will try to make
the best of what is around us.
Philadelphia has started with a frosty Winter,
but it has had this warm, big place to come to and
its sights of people from all over the world who come
to it and its big .organ and all the courtesies of "feel
at homeness."
The be-welcomeness of the Store always makes
itself felt when you are here.

MOST of our customers,
know that such a great

In the matter of silks this is a
great advantage to them.

withstanding the unprecedented
business in silks throughout the
past vcar, and particularly dur
ing the month of December, we
now have ready for I " new
blooming season a fine collection

(Third Vloor, Ceutihl)
Large deliveries are now
coming in from orders placed
almost a year ago, and priced
upon the basis of u year ago.
Therefore, you find at
Wanamaker's today as fine silks
as may be had anywheie, ut
prices, in almost all cases, be
low the usual market ratings.
Wc especially recommend the
purchase of the finer grades of
silks, becauso it is a peculiarity
of the market that advances on
the finer silks have been much
less in proportion than the ad
vance in the cheaper grades, and
the finer silks will give far and
awav the best service.

Why Not
Invest Your
Christmas
Money
in a Player
Piano? Each year more and
more people do this.
There is no way in
which they can invest
that money which will
bring in bigger divi
dends of satisfaction.
When you have a
player -piano in the
house you have a
never - failing source
of entertainment for
yourself and for your
friends.
It is not necessary
that any one of the
family be a musician.
A good player or re
producing piano will
play any kind of music
you desire, and play it
exactly as it was
played by the artist
who made the roll.
There is no indifferent
performance with a
good player-piano.
But it must be a
good instrument. Any
other kind of player
piano is a poor invest
ment, for even the
least expensive runs
into money.
Our player - pianos
and reproducing pia
nos include such fa
mous makes as Chick
e r i n g, Schomacker,
Emerson, Haines
Bros., Lindeman, Mar
shall and Wendell, J.
C. Campbell, the cele
brated Knabe and
others.
Prices range from
$600 to $3800, and any
instrument may be
bought on convenient
terms, if desired.
