Capital is a bigger word than money, because capital includes intuitivencss, integrity, men tality, executive ability, sagacity and skill absolutely necessary to the industries that require money to float and further them. Some of the fine old business concerns of fifty years ago in Philadelphia and New York have gone down and disappeared for lack of the genius of their fathers and founders. But some of them left a million dollars in their wills to their sons, who easily let the -hard-earned money slip away in speculations. Money is only metal if mentality is not back of it. Andrew Carnegie and Henry C. Frick, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Edison started life with no other capital than their healthy bodies, brains, strong fingers and good eyes. Stop the idle talk and gossip of such great concerns as Baldwins, Cramps, Disstons, Dob sons and Bromleyfc and of other business men of affairs, who richly deserve all they have acquired. Such men have made Philadelphia. Signed Feb. J, 1020. ffifamfo.

However. the poetic or romantic association stops with the sleep and does not enter into the sale there is nothing poetic, romantic or otherwise imaginary about the good quality of these mattresses, pillows, bolsters and bed springs, least of all about the money one can save on them. These are Wanamaker certified goods at the Wanamaker kind of savings. lhe sale embraces our entire selection of mattresses, pillows, bolsters and bed springs all at reductions from regular prices. And it includes no doubtful or unworthy goods, because we have not got the like. (Hlxth Floor, Lhratnut) ii M m m MO. jj.v. J 'J .jjjH jSW-0,ilvK.i 'JvAh
