The One Big Thing That Everybody Is
i i
The Spirit of Mother's Day
Has Been Hovering Oyer
the Past Week
We cannot be too thankful for anything that
'brings our mother nearer to us in our busy lives,
crowded as they arc with duties and cares.
, Who of us can ever forget her little hands
that smoothed our hair and sewed the lost
button on our little jacket when found again?
Do you remember when you were in the
woodshed in the yard, and you were splitting
with an axe the kindling wood for the stove, and
you chipped a piece off of the forefinger of your
left hand, how tenderly she cleaned it, and,
with Iter two little hands bandaged it up and'
made it stop hurting?
v Can't you see lier now, in spite of the years,
standing in the doorway of the small wooden
country house, with a flower garden in front,
that she had planted, and tended, all herself,
jnrehcaded and smiling, waving a good-by to
you with her dear hand as you trotted off to
school every morning?
Such little hands they surely were. Do you
mind how difficult it was to get a pair of
women's gloves small enough to fit Ucr beautiful
hands?
The Golden Hours
to get: the best results in tTiis great selling
arc 9 to 12 A. M. All of our good customers t
are patient and helpful, for they appreciate
what a great thing this movement ia.
Those who can possibly do so should come
in the morning hpurs, arid leave the busier
afternoon hours for those who cannot
, leave their homes in the morning.

Talking About
Is that John Wanamaker is offering
.
his vast retail stocks in Philadelphia
and New York more than twenty million dollars'
worth for a limited time at 20 per cent or one-fifth
off in an effort to bring down prices and break the
backbone of the high cost of living.
The News This Morning Is That This
Great Sale Still Goes On
It is growing tremendously and steadily sweeping over the whole nation.
The movement started with the Founder of these great businesses in Phila-
-
delphia and New York, and is spreading all over the whole country.
It is a People's Sale, accumulating momentum, value and enthusiasm as it goes.
Letters and telegrams and telephone messages from stores far and near are
asking us whether they may use our advertising "to make a sale like your Sale."
Go to it; it will all help to break the iron backbone of high prices and bring
them down!

Ahead With It
Everything in the Wanamaker stocks at 20 per cent less except a few articles on which prices are
fixed by the manufacturer.
What a wonderful word that is EVERYTHING everything you need for yourself, for your
family, for the household and for gifts to others, everything, over twenty million dollars' worth,
everything in the great Wanamaker Building everything, with the few .exceptions noted, offered at
a deduction of 20 per cent or one-fifth from the price at the time of purchase!
We have not changed the markings on the goods. It would have been impracticable to change
millions of price tags.
When you make your purchase the price of the article will be noted on the sales slip and below
will be marked the 20 per cent deduction. It is genuine, money-saving right on the spot.
If you have friends who have not heard of it, tell them; it will be doing them a service.
It would be a great pity for any one not to know of this great money-saving sale.
