One person of a group of (if ty-fivc confounds red with green. One in sixty confounds brown and green. One in forty-six confuses blue and green. These peculiarities are more common in males than in females, and they may account for many of the mix-ups in the dress of men. Railroad managers pay much attention to color blindness, as red and green are colors frequently used as signals. A celebrated doctor distinguishes three features of color blindness: 1. 3. Inability to see any color but black and wlutc, or light and shadow, a highly col ored picture appearing like a mezzotint engraving. Inability to distinguish browns, . grays and neutral colors. Inability to distinguish between red, blue and yellow and green, purple, orange and brown. No satisfactory explanation of this phenom enon of color blindness has yet been propounded. Fortunately, it is said to be less serious in artificial light than in daylight. It is very important to be well assisted in making purchases. Signed" June i, 10Z0.

The 20 per cent deduction makes nij incscprlcea very, moderate, f.l r :i &3f w at One-Fifth Less Is Too Unusual to Lam The opportunity to choose at one-fifth less than the present price almost anything in the whole range and compass of the Wanamaker stocks (with the inconsiderable exception of about $50,000 worth) is not only unprecedented, but it is' something that may never come again. ! Your own cdmmon sense will tell you that it is too 'good to be extended indefinitely and it will also tell you that you had better take advantage of it while ypu may. It is the comprehensiveness of the offer which makes it so helpful to every man, woman and child, and to every home. Except food and fuel there is hardly a personal or home need that this offering does not answer in a most helpful and advantageous way. It means a saving of one-fifth on nearly all of one's expenditures for home furnishings and personal necessaries, and if that is -not a well-struck blow at the high cost of living it would be interesting to know what is. This is the first time any large store in America has ever done such a thing. It adds one more to the Wanamaker list of origiqal initiatives, which have come to be known as "Wanamaker Firsts." Perhaps it is the greatest initiative of all. Time will tell. At any- rate, nothing that we know that has ever been done by our Store has meant so" much in actual dollars and cents to the people, not only of this city and of Pennsylvania and sur rounding states', but of the whole country, because it has been adopted by progressive and patriotic storekeepers all over the land. , The thing is to take the fullest advantage of it while you are sure of the privilege. r &i .ta .
