Who Is It That Hasn't Broken
. His or Her Share of China
and Glass?
There is "no such individual." Only in museums and in the collec
tions of connoisseurs will you find any old china and glnss, and the
quantity is limited.
What has become of all the rest of the dishes and glasses that have
been made sln.ee men learned how to make them? Unlike other com
modities these are things that do not wear out.
And yet nn inevitable fate awaits them. They were made to be
broken either suddenly, or as a result of the, first baneful crack. And
each one of us is destined to break his or her share. And so the
potter's wheel keeps turning.
Tho time to replace or replenish your china and glassware is when
the replacing is good; and it is very g6od now because of the Spring
Sale that we are holding, a sale In which you will find the best collection
of dinner sets, cut glass and inexpensive glasswaro to be had for the
money in Philadelphia, even if we do say it ourselves.

Thousands of the World's Best Enamelware Cooking
Utensils Have Just Now Come Into the
Housewares Sale With
Special Prices
It is pretty well known throughout tho country that this Store
is somewhat more particular than others in regard to the quality of
its merchandise.
Two things that we ore especially and fastidiously particular
about are
Diamonds and Enamelware
They havo one similarity with us and that is in their purity.
An immense amount of cnamelwaro is sold throughout the country
at all sorts of prices from 10c, 16c, 25c upward.
Wo do no sincere merchants any harm by telling our customers
that cheap enamelware is dangerous.
If is dangerous for two reasons.
One is that a great deal of it contains antimony and antimony
is poisonous.
And the other is that cheap enamelware will invariably checker
and crack nnd particles will get into the food.
These particles aro glass.
Plcaso remomber that all enamelware is glass. Enamelware
ought to bo treated as glass. If it is well taken care of it will lhst
for years and years.
Tho best enamelware tho kind wo have is made by a highly
perfected process that results in the equal expansion and contraction
of the enamel coating and the iron underneath.
Unless you tako Wnnamaker enamelware and slam it down hard
it will last a great number of years, and always be as good as new.
Tho new lot of cnamelwaro cooking utensils just opened is of
tho finest description and contains cooking utensils of every sort and
in tho right sizes, including
