Only at Wanamaker You Can Choose Fro r M The Exceptionally Notable Movement of Dry Goods and House Furnishings has proved itself in three distinct ways in the two wonderful weeks it has been in progress. First It has been a boon to the city and the country adjacent thereto. Second Several- hundreds of letters, tele grams and copies of advertising pages have been 'sent to inform us of similar undertakings of brother storekeepers. Third The storekeepers selling down their stocks at a flat discount have joined with us as cash purchasers at the mills and commission houses, and paid cash, for lower prices, aiding, in a measure, to ease the money market. Our customers get the advantage, when wc arc able to make .owc? prices, as wc turn over the goods, and at a price based on exactly what wc pay, to which we add our customary profit, and then when sold take off the one-fifth. It is time now for business people to unite in impressing upon makers of merchandise that a long-patient public must have its turn in some evident concessions in the prices of all classes of goods, as well as the usual fashion reductions at this season of the year.
