7is is the One Movement So Far That Has Actually
On Monday a Story of the
Stars and Stripes for
Young Americans
will be put here, to be cut out and
preserved as a true history of the flag
of the nation of their birth, a story to
give them opportunity to instruct our
foreign-born comrades, who have chosen
our country for their future home.
Henceforth, the United States must
be the home of true-hearted Americans
by birth and bys sincere naturalization
papers.
No country in Europe would permit
a native American to remain in its
bounds who was antagonistic to its
government.
This one house employs at times in
the year nearly nine thousand persons,
and it claims that every one must be
loyal to its principles and work, and no
honest person would be allowed to
remain in its service if disloyal.
The United States will never be safe
to live in unless we are all united under
the Stars and Stripes that represent our
beliefs and standards.
Think it out and talk it over.
Signed
Juno IS, 1020.

and Largely Increased the Buying
Power of Your Dollars
THE problem was to make the dollar buy more.
ine .country waited, lor somebodv in a are-e wav 01 business to deliberately ana at some cost and risk orive M
more for the dollar.
So far as anybody could see, there was no other feasible way in which money could be given back something of its old
purchasing value no way except for some one to start giving a good deal more value for the money. ,
Who was to be the "some one?"
There was nothing to indicate that anybody was anxious for that particular role "what's everybody's business'
you know, is "nobody's business" more especially when it involves any kind of sacrifice.
j Without claiming to do wonders, the fact remains that at this juncture this Store did an unprecedented thing, the
greatest thing, perhaps, ever done by any store.
For surely there is nothing in the history of American business to compare in helpfulness and in far-reaching and
vital influence with the offering by the Wanamaker Stores of practically their entire stocks at a deduction of one-fifth:
Somehow it seems as if oneneeds only to take a bold and original initiative in order-to dispel all kinds of mooted
bogies: When we started this campaign a lot of people gasped and predicted things.
But soon it became nation-wide and its influence has even reached across the seas. i
So far it has proved the one practical and effective setback to the ever-mounting tendency of prices.
. And it has pretty nearly squelched the profiteering spirit.
To us, it means the lopping of one-fifth off the price of almost everything we sell, from a shoelace to a palatial suit
of furniture.
' And notwithstanding all the goods that we have sold as a result of this movement we have plenty of new, fresh;
desirable goods coming in all the time.

20 Per Cent Deducted From the Price
of Everything in Furniture
It would be hard to say in wlych section the 20 per cent deduction means most
everything, of course, depending upon what one needs most.
But there is no doubt that in furniture it is a wonderful advantage, especially
to those setting up new homes.
To have the whole vast and splendid range of these stocks to choose from, with
a deduction of 20 per cent from the price of everything, is an entirely new and unique
privilege. No wonder we are busy bringing in new supplies to supplant the gooda that
people are making their own of every day. The wonder is that we are keeping up
so well with the demand. .
It is all a very convincing proof of everything we have said regarding the
great resources of the Wanamaker furniture stocks. Keep the fact well before your
mind that every piece of furniture on the floors is subject to a deduction of 20 per
cent and take advantage of the opportunity as soon as you can possibly do so,
