Was ever a subject more talked over and theorized
over than the high cost of living, and how sick and tired
the people must have been of all the talk and theorizing,
which really led them nowhere except from bad to worse.
Before this Store struck its first memorable blow
at high prices there was little sign of a move in any other
quarter for lower ones.
But there was general and deep-seated dissat
isfaction amongst the people, making it plain to anybody
of common sense, not to speak of public spirit, that
something should be done and done quickly. .
What the people needed was action, prompt and, if need?

In Furniture the 20 Per Cent Deduction
Is a Wonderful Help
It ja probably an unprecedented thing for such a large, varied and high-grado
stock of cabinet work to be offered at an all-round deduction of 20 per cent from the
normal prices.
Rut at Wanamaker's the unprecedented thing happens not infrequently.
In this case1 it is a wonderfully helnful thing to people making or replenishing
homes. - P
A saving of one dollar on every five o f the normal cost of every pieco?yHJj
furniture put into a home today is a real help toward lowering the high cost of'hfalo.e
making and home-keeping.
It applies to every bit of furniture in our possession.
It means a great deal everywhere, especially now among tho dining-room displayat
in which the choice is diverse, beautiful and full of the most desirable types for home
of all requirements from the cottago to the mansion,
