This Mighty Movement That Originated in Wanamaker,
Square Is Doing Good for the Whole Country
The Dear Old Stars and Stripes
Inherited From Our Fathers
After "a Union Flag" with a red field was
hoisted in New York, in March, 1775, and a series
of proposed flags was presented by the different
Colonies, a "grand Union Flag" was raised on
the heights, at Boston, on January 2, 1776. This
flag was referred to in the Pennsylvania Gazette,
of January, published in Philadelphia.
The idea of a stripe for each State was
generally accepted from the first, though several
of the States, South and North, had proffered
suggested flags which were used for a short
lime in the localities where they originated.
In July, 1777, the blue Union with the stars
was added to the stripes, and the flag established
by law.
At the beginning a new stripe was added for
each new State admitted to the Union, until the
flag became too large; when, by Act of Congress,
the stripes were limited to thirteen.
The standard of the Army was fixed at six
teet six inches, by four feet four inches; seven
red stripes and six white stripes; and a white
star on a blue field for each new State admitted,
now numbering forty-eight.
The first stripe at the top is red and the next
white, alternating to the last stripe, which is red.
It represents to the wide world freedom of
conscience and liberty alike for all. The blessing
of Heaven has rested upon it since the
Declaration of Independence, and it is loved
today more than ever before, and its value to the
world is greater than ever.

Who is there that does ijot remember
that as recently as seven weeks ago the
word on every side was that prices were
going up and still up?
It was the gravest question of the hour.
It was a situation almost of desperation.
It was looming seriously as an issue of
national politics.
Then, like a thunderbolt, on the morn
ing of May 3, came the announcement of
the Wanamaker twenty-million-dollar
stocks in Philadelphia and New York,
offered to the public at 20 per cent below
regular market prices
It Was the Sledge-Hammer Blow That
Smashed the Market
It went like wildfire throughout the
country.
It brought about a sweeping recession
of prices in all directions.
Hoarded supplies came pouring into
the open, eagerly seeking for disposal.
Foodstuffs ceased to go up in price
and began to recede.
Speculators hushed their clamor about
crucial scarcities.
Manufacturers began to talk cheerfully
of improving relations with Labor, now
that Labor could see a dawn of better
conditions and 'lower prices for necessary
articles.
The Emergency Was Met the Echo Was
Heard Around the World
English and French papers now coming
in are filled with news of reductions going
on in all directions. The fall in silk prices
was the sensation of Japan. 'A thousand
cities and towns throughout the United
States and scores in Canada found their
newspapers vitalized with announcements
of merchants announcing the adoption of
the "Wanamaker plan."
And the Talk of Rising Prices Stopped
A great load of apprehension was lifted
from the minds of the people -
ft
Nothing more was heard of the coming
crisis. i
No one could any longer be found to;
listen to calamity talk.
Liberty Bonds began to recover, and'
gloomy predictions in the financial columri
of the newspapers gave way to cheering;
predictions of "sensible readjustment."
And the threatened gloomy political:,
issue was forgotten. The whole subject was
passed over in the platform of the National!
Republican party with a few perfunctoryl
words.
It Is a National Campaign Seeking
a National Good

But the greatest demonstration of itsl
effect has been right here in our own old!
home city, Philadelphia.
It was here that the people had daily!
opportunity to make selection from the
world's finest and best assemblage of mer?
chandise, and to do their choosing in the,
most convenient and comfortable store"
ft
building in the world. ;
It was here, where the large stores are;;
all more closely adjacent than elsewhere,;
that there was the clearest demonstration"
of the Wanamaker values, for shoppers?,
could go readily from one store to another
and quickly prove for themselves howl
much less they had to pay at Wanamaker's
than elsewhere.
And Here in Philadelphia the Battle
Still Goes Forward :
n
We have new goods coming in plenty
of new goods and lots of them at lower!'
prices. ;
We have largely increased our work-!
ing force to meet the needs of a so much"
greater business, and we are going straight;
on ahead with it .until something stills
more definite and real is accomplished.
We have the goods, we have the
resources, and we have the
