The Symbol of the Moon
Was Used in Uld 1 lmes
on boundary stones.
It has also been used on beautifully painted
old window glass as a symbol of light.
Scientists tell us that the chemical principle
of the sun's rays is more active to heat and light
during the Spring season than at any other
period of the year.
We arc told that, "according to generally
received views, the s,olar ray is regarded as
exhibiting three forces: light, or luminous
power; heat, or calorific power, and actinism, or
chemical power; but whether these be regarded
as distinct forces or only as modified forms of
one, the three phenomena are essentially
dissimilar."
We know, however, for a fact that there is
A Light of the Season
and that this
Wanamaker Square
is now filled with the light and color of
Springtime. ,. .., .

AM PICO
BbroAucuxa Mono'
Before the day of the player and the reproducing piano a
great pianist's art died with him. Now it is preserved so that
it may inspire future generations as well as the people of the
present.
The greatest achievements of the master pianists of today
have been reproduced by the Ampico. You can hear them tonight
in your own home, played as perfectly as if the master were there
in person, and your children can enjoy them in years to come,
when the artist's hand is stilled.
We have the Ampico reproducing piano embodied in several
of the leading makes of pianos in this country, such as the Chick
ering, Schomacker, Haines Bros., Marshall and Wendell and the
celebrated Knabe.
You are cordially invited to ask for a demonstration of any
or all of these instruments. It will place you under no obliga
tion to buy, but if you wish to do so, convenient terms can be
arranged.
