Monday Will Find Us Still in the Front Line ot Battle
. - M - " - - 1. -.. J?
On the Boardwalk at
Atlantic City
we often think that the sea wants to speak to us,
by its ever-changing face and the many sounds
it utters.
The oldest of .books tells us of a man who
Turned Aside to See
a Bush Ablaze
Often from habit we pass by the great
sights of Nature with indifference; preoccupied
with trifling affairs:
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
' thou hearest the sound thereof."
The shooting' stars call to us, and the
seasons come and go, and each has its own tale
to tell.
To put oneself into real communion with
Nature, one "must turn aside to see," hear
and understand the colors of the sky, the
numberless whispers of the fields, forests and
streams, the chirp and songs of birds, and the
life of the thousands of bees, butterflies, beetles
and moths that, fly and creep and make their
homes with Mother Earth.
There is a wonderful newness in the picture
gallery of Nature.
Millions of dollars of recent purchases of
new things have been, during the month of May,
planted in our garden of merchandise.

Against High Prices With a Ten-Million
Dollar Stock at Price Deductions ofOne-FHih
THIS is probably the first time that such a wealth of merchandise has ever been offered at so large a deduction from
regular prices. And it is something that may never happen again.
It differs considerably from the special deduction or bargain sale of this, that or the other class of goods.
This is an all-inclusive sale, embracing all the goods in our stock excepting something like $50,000 worth, which are'
restricted through understanding.
Everything is marked at the price for which we should ordinarily sell it, but when you buy it, you have the privi
lege of deducting 20 per cent and the result is what you pay. . -
Coming at any time it would be both novel and beneficial to an extraordinary degree; Coming just as the cost of
necessaries had become almost unbearable, it has proven a great national boon. .
Both in itself and through the large number of stores all over the country which have adopted the idea it has been
the means of saving the people of the United States many millions of dollars on seasonable needfuls of all descriptions..
It amounts to . a voluntary sacrifice of profit so far as we are concerned, every deduction on every article coming out
of this store's own pocket.
We are as free to end it as we were to begin it:' .
. Since we began it we have been able to secure millions of dollars' worth of new and desirable) goods to renew and
diversify the assortments'.
On Monday you will have not less than ten millions of dollars' worth of goods under this roof to choose from at a:
deduction of 20 per cent from regular prices, ten millions of dollars' worth of wares, wearables, furnishings and articles of
every kind and description for home service or personal use all purchasable at one-fifth below the normal prices in this
store! j
i Undoubtedly this is the greatest thing the Wanamaker Store has done up to the present time and that is saying a
good deal. . .
Something New in

Bracelets
Solidly paved diamonds, bor
dered on either side with smaller-

sapphires. The price is $4185.
All-diamond flexible bracelets
or diamonds and sapphires
alternating, $1375 to $2300.
The 20 per cent makes a
very great difference in all
these prices.
