The 20 Per Cent Deduction Is the One Real Thing Done to
Bring Back Some of the Old
Time Power of Your Dollars
, You Can Tell by That Man's
Soft White Hands
that he never did a day's work," said one man to
another.
True enough, the engineer and his helpers, who
go on their jobs early at the mills and wprk all night
to rush Government orders, are a fine type of
working man; but is it not true that a man may have
his hands in his pockets all day and still be a
working man, if his brains are busy in working out
scientific questions, and in dictating to his
stenographer directions for the supply of water to
towns by aqueducts or by the spans of bridges across
the rivers?
A woman may work in an architect's office with
gloved hands all day, using only her eyes and
knowledge upon the drawings submitted for her
judgment and criticism.
A physician's work is almost all mental.
Let us not misjudge each other.

U A CTIONS speak louder than words," a very trite old saying, but so very true:
In the progress of all peoples and communities there come times and
crises when words become strangely futile and distressingly tiresome.
Five or six weeks back it was so. There was much tiresome talk about the
oppressively high cost of things, but as for action of the kind intended to bring
it down without detriment to anybody, there was none; none, that is to say, until
this Store came forward and offered practically all its merchandise at a deduction
of 20 per cent from regular prices.
This was probably the greatest action in a business career landmarked by many
notable, initiatives.
And it was one of those actions that speak as if trumpet-tongued.
Progressive and American-minded merchants all over the land seem to have been
waiting for just such a lead, hoping, as we all must, that it will prove the turning point
toward more normal and favorable living conditions. ,
So far it has proved of immense advantage to everybody. And it is such a real thing
in the advantages which it offers! Nothing more really advantageous has ever been done in
retail merchandising.
It adds wonderfully to the purchasing Value of practically every dollar you invest in
Wanamaker merchandise.
In every section of the store your dollar now buys a great deal more than it bougK
before May 3rd, the day on which we began this remarkable movement.
Are you taking the fullest advantage of it for yourself and for your home?
