Now the Winter Day
. . Lengthens and the Cold
Strengthens
Old Boreas as'Jyet is the only active street
sweeper, in this city. Most assuredly, according
to the opinion of many of our excellent doctors,
our sicknesses are multiplied by the clouds of
dust blown into the lungs and homes of men and
women and children. No wonder .that all the
hospitals of the city are overcrowded these days
with patients.
The almost permanent condition of filthy
streets affects the prosperity of the city in many
ways.
By. the use of vacuum cleaners and a large
force of men, eycry morning finds this big
storehouse "as clean as a new pin."

Where $12 Still Will Buy
the Finer Shoes for Women
Five years ago $12 was a high price for a pair of women's shoes.
Today it is, if not exactly a low price, n modest pricp. No woman
who knows anything about footwear expects to get a really fine
pair of shoes for $12. Not in the regular way, at any rate.
But it happens that Wanamaker's is making a disposal of
beveral thousand pair of women's fine shoes at a flat price of $12
a pair. All of these shoes have been regularly selling for two or
three dollars more and some of them for half again as much. At
$12 they are extraordinary values.
Among them aro six styles of low shoes and fifteen styles of
high shoes, every pair of them fine in fashion and of beautifuV
workmunship. , .,

That We Can Sell at $55 Each
These ulsters have just come in
a sort of surprise party.
There are very few of their kind
on 'the market and these are the first
we have seen in a special sale.
Most overcoat sales elsewhere, as
most men know, bring rather skimpy,
knee-length kind of coats. that are no
better than they ought to be.
But these are fine, big, roomy,
Winter ulsters that wrap you up al
together and that can laugh in the face
of any sort of weather.
They are in dark grays and
browns, splendidly tailored, extra gen
erous in all their dimensions, with col
lars that turn way up, and 100 per cent of the best wool that ever came off a
sheep's back.
Outsiae of these 250, we cannot sell you anything as good for less than $10
more, and we doubt if you will find them within $20 of the price elsewhere.
Why Men Buy
Velour Hats Here

Wanamaker's has the best velour hats
in town for the money that we are
doubly inclined to think so ourselves,

we bought these to sell for $8, $10,
$13.50 and $15.

that he could save a ton of coal

go rattling through the grate if he
can help it. He may let 10 per
cent or more, but that 10 per cent
or more he can save if he gets one

Piano Buying Never Called
for Greater Care
It has always been advisable to use much circumspection in selecting 'a piano,
but this was never so necessary as it is today.
The possession of a piano has always been regarded as imparting a sort of pres
tige to a home, and from the beginning of the recent era of high wages there has been
a great demand for pianos and player-pianos of every sort.
The result has been a shortage in the supply of the better instruments and a
willingness on thefcpart of some dealers who had not handled inferior pianos before to
sell the&e rather than nothing.
Inferior pianos and player-pianos can be made much more rapidly than the really
fine instruments. The former can be ground out like sausages, marked with one name
or another and rushed into the market. Their makers, and often their sellers, having
no reputations to uphold, are careless whether the instruments give satisfaction or not.
Chickering Knabc Schomacker Haines Bros.
Emerson Marshall and Wendell Lindeman J. C. Campbell
The above are eight of the most celebrated piano names in America. Three of
them are among the first five pianos of the country.
In spite of the scarcity of instruments of this high class, we have an excellent
selection of player and reproducing pianos of all these makes and Wanamaker's ib the
only piano store in Philadelphia where any of them can be bought.
Unless you get a good player or reproducing piano you are wasting your money,
