The Last Week of Our Business Year Brings Good Opportunities to Save
This Week Is the Last
of January
' It is the last week of our business year. We close
our 1919 business books next Saturday night.
Scattered all over the Store are many things to
close out this week at cost and less because they are
the remnants of lots that we shall not reorder.
Every day we have reductions somewhere
through the Store of lots that we do not wish to save
Up to use as sales bargains.
We like our customers to get unexpected
surprises and to have these advantages of lowered
prices without being jammed with overcrowded
aisles. ' y

The Loveliest of Spring
Dresses Arrive for Young
Women
Piquant and so new in their
fashions that they might have
just stepped out of a French
fashion magazine!
Best of all, they are so wear
able and they can bo put on im
mediately and sec good service
before Spring actually starts in.
For instance, there is a num
ber of the smartest littlo dark
blue silk taffetas, quite original
in their lines. They would be
just the thing for afternoons,
the matinee and so on, and later
for street wear. The prices are
?39.50 to $47.50.
Then a group of the most be
witching afternoon dresses, such
as Georgette crepes,, usually
beaded; blue taffetas, one with
goffered striped ribbon as a
trimming; another in a change
able taffeta, ashes of lose color,
with the side puffing caught up
with ribbon rosettes and a wired
loop on the other side. Theie
are many of these dresses, all
different, from ?47.G0 to $115.
Finally some exquisite eve
ning gowns. One of turquoise
blue crepe de chine, embroidered
in silver, has crystal bead trim
ming. Another is a lovely jade

green with white beads and
stitching. These prices go from
?85 to ?155.
Women's Fine Coats in
a Clearaway
$57.50 to $135
Ileally delightful things of a conservative sort, but we are too much
Interested in Spring coats to want them around any longer.
The cloths are the soft, lovely silvertones, evoras, bolivias, velours
and duvctynes in taupes, browns and darker colors.
The styles are the straight lined, distinguished styles that cannot
be copied in cheaper fabrics, and the weight is such that women can wear
them with separate fur neckpieces now, and without furs when the fiist
Spring days come in.
Also there is a saving of $10 to S25 on every coat.

THE care of the complex
ion is a more vital mat
ter, if possible, during winter
weather than at anu other
time of the year. And a great

dentally, it is best to make
appointments.

The
Ambition to
Own a
Player-Piano
is one of the most
laudable of ambitions
and means something
more than the old' am
bition to own a piano
of any sort.
In the days before
the player -piano the
piano was in demand
largely for the pres
tige that its possession
gave one. Only a
small minority could
play it.
But the player-piano
is different. A player
piano in your home is
more than an impres
sive piece of furniture.
It is
A Source, of

whether you are a
trained musician or do
not know a note.

"Much Cry and Little Wool"
is supposed to be an old saying of the sheep-shearers, expressive,
no doubt, of plenty of noise, bleating and wordiness, but only a
scanty clip.
Much cry and little merchandise sums up many a store event,
reminding one again of Lincoln's story of the river steamboat 'with
such a powerful whistle that every time the whistle was blown the
boat had to stop, the motive power being insufficient to keep both
going at the same time.
If we have raised "much cry" over this coming
February Furniture Sale
we want you to remember that we have the merchandise to show
for it. "Much cry," undoubtedly, but with good reason, because of
the abundance of the goods, notwithstanding all the alarms and
forebodings of scarcity and what-not:
There may be in fact, there is a shortage of desirable
furniture in most places, but this Sale will bring more furniture
than any sale we have ever held.
And all of it' is furniture of the right kind ; furniture good
enough to carry the reputation and the record which have made
Wanamaker furniture sales the greatest retail sales in the world.
Do you realize how near it is to the first day for seeing the
goods?
Thursday Next, January 29
Only Three Days Off
The first of three days of advance presentation, when all the
displays will be ready for viewing and selection and everything
will be ready for you to see with your own eyes that if we have
made "much cry" there is no gainsaying the reason. The goods
are here and no mistake about it. .
