"'J.MiliV IBI Mw Great : The Great Campaign for Lower Living Costs Goes On We Hear on All Sides that the people arc pleased with the continuance of the privilege of one-fifth off, for even a short time. We have never urged people to buy our good stock. We have been glad to keep as much of it as we could. But it has all been offered without reserve (save for a few things) at the full discount, and if we were doing it all over again, we would do it exactly as we did it on the third of May. We feel quite content, believing that the people understand our sincerity and that everything we did was just as we stated it on this page. It is fair to say, however, that our object in going a little further is because of the many advertisements appearing, showing that merchants are getting advantages from manu facturers, just as we expected they would. It is worth while for merchants who distribute goods to stand together for low prices against manufacturers who stand together for high prices.

(Mftlf rjWi CntrU i and the Signs Point to Victory 0" THE privilege of buying almost anything in the Wanamaker Stores at a deduction of 20 per cent from regular values is the one practical plan so far evolved to bring down the mounting cost of living. It is our own plan, worked out at the, store's own expense, by a voluntary let-go of normal profit for the time being. It has served as the working model for good merchants all over America and its moral influence has quickened the' business life of two continents. - The great thing about it is that it is a practical working plan, not a theory or a dream. It now begins to look as if it were going to prove the turning point toward the more tolerable conditions of living:, for which people everywhere have been so earnestly wishing. f Constant incoming streams of new goods are keeping the great reservoir of the store stocks fresh, plentiful and". attractive.
