Two Kinds of Coin
Absolutely Necessary to a
Business Career
Cash capital of gold or its equivalent
in precious metal.
And capital, even more important,
in distinct mentality.
the latter often having a greater cash value in
founding and maintaining a business enterprise
than the product of the United States Mint,
which is at par or above it the world around.
' There is" such a thing' as "learned ignorance"
that sooner or later is at a heavy discount in
business life.
While the inscription under the dome of the
Manchester Board of Trade Building in Great
Britain still holds good, "A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches," it also still holds
good that neither .
Names, Traditions Nor Sentimentalities
!are sufficient .for firm foundations, singly or
collectively, to establish a successful business.
Summing up briefly what we are trying to
convey to the young men and women who are
thinking, and thinking hard, of their future
course, it all comes down to this:
Given a healthful body and plain,
unvarnished common sense, with a mind
exercising careful, unhasty, ' well - balanced
judgment, the chances are six to one favorable
to success.

Men, What of Your New
Easter Clothes?
There is no men's ready-to-wear clothing
made in the United States that is too good for this
Men's Clothing Store to sell. There is no ready-to-wear
clothing anywhere that is better than the
kind to be found here.
The superiority of Wanamaker fabrics, styles
and tailoring is a reality, not a myth.
You can see it with your own eyes and feel
it with your own hands and test it by your own
judgment.
You can see it in the suits and overcoats that
are here in such abundant selection for men who
want new Springtime and Easter clothes and who
want to feel that for the good money they must
pay they are getting the best to be had in ma
terials, make up, style, fit and general excellence.
There may be other stores where they might
f eej reasonably sure of all these things, bu this is
one store in which there is absolutely no doubt
about it. -
The new suits are $45 to $75, and they leave
nothing to be desired.
The stock of Spring overcoats is as large and
fine as we have ever had $45 to $75.

Prince, but well-dressed Philadelphia men are getting it because
they like the hat. To be sure, the'y like the Prince, too. No English
man ever was more popular in this country.
