Tomorrow Will Be Another of the Precious Days
We Are Much Gratified With
the Results of Our Efforts the
Past Two Short Busy Weeks,
doing something plainly and positively beneficial
to our city and elsewhere by putting cash into the
hands of people who took home with their
purchases one-fifth of the established actual,
values of everything in our warehouses.
They carried away or had sent home not only
the merchandise of established value at usual
and unchanged and untampered-with prices, but
they had the dollars saved to count out into
fathers' and mothers' hands.
The Whole Country Seems to Be
Waking Up
to work down some of the cost of living.
All storekeepers appreciate the favor that
their customers bestow upon them.
Now that the great hardships of high prices
have been borne for so long, it seems only fair
that the distributing storekeepers should join
together to cut off all unnecessary expenses and
cut down prices to no profits or to the smallest
margin of profit for a time, 'and by every possible
means to urge producers of goods to take less
than the common war profits, when goods were
scarcer than they are now.
If only all the men will resume their former
tasks and when claiming higher wages offer
longer hours to add to production, we Will all
feel more cheerful.
There are good signs of decisive progress in
the past fortnight; and if all the critics would
join in an honorable attack against advancing
costs the great victory could be won.

Signed
May I',, 1020.

20 Per Cent Deduction From Prices
WiiM-4
r
"tJ
at Wanamaker9 s
GOING forward With the proposition, that there is bound to be some way to defeat profiteering in the prices of
necessaries in the United States, the Wanamaker Stores are bringing in new stocks constantly and are continuing
their movement to break the backbone of high prices.
Until Further Notice All the Goods in the Wdnamaker Stores in Phil
adelphia andNewYork,Comprising Considerably More Than 20 Million
Dollars' Worth, Are Offered to the Public With a Deduction of 20 Per
Cent From Their Marked Prices, the Only Exceptions Being About
$50,000 Worth of Restricted Goods.
While, this movement goes on and we reserve the right to stop it at short notice the people of Philadelphia havean
opportunity such as has never been known before, to choose from the world-famous Wanamaker stocks with one-fifth
reduction.
It means men's clothing, shoes, furniture, works of art everything in the Store with the few exceptions noted.
The prices marked-on the goods are the regular, normal, market prices of the day. The same prices that you will find
marked on goods in all stores, and in many cases lower prices than you will find marked elsewhere.
The 20 per cent deduction is taken off the face of the sales slip when you make the purchase.
It is the most amazing thing in the history of merchandising and is having a tremendouus effect all over the United
States.
A
Many stores are doing it, some of them are large stores and some of them are small stores, but all are urged on by,
patriotic motives, and every such store is doing a great thing by its customers, for it is permitting them to choose mer
chandise at lower prices.
But it is only the people of Philadelphia and New York who have the fullest choice of making selections, frpm the
famous Wanamaker stocks.
