herewith reproduced for the benefit and
information of- Philadelphia interested in the
old A. T. Stewart Store and its Mother Store:
This first great store of
New York founded 1823
by A. T. Stewart
maintains tho distinctive character it had in Mr.
Stewart's lifetime, to which has been added the life and
fidrit 0f Mr. Stewart's old friend, its present owner,
whose pride and signature govern all our undertakings
in New York as well as Philadelphia. .
The prosperity of this business since the new sign
was placed at the corner of Ninth Street and Broadway
on the old A. T. Stewart building a quarter century ago
JOHN WANAMAKER -formerly
v
A. T. STEWART
is still there. Across Ninth Street from Broadway to
Fourth Avenue, the big New Building, more than twice
as high as the Stewart building looms up, doing a noble
part as a staunch witness to the ensuring principles of
the two founders of this great, ever-increasing business.
Mr. Stewart's first quality of merchandise
A fair price and but one price
An art in storekeeping distinctly different
from a mere warehouse of merchandise
A wide civic and national vision
fixed a famous leadership that has not died and never
will.
The A. T. S. and J. W. flags of business .principles
are nailed to the mast as business signals to the public.

Three of the best makes of player-pianos in the world, each

Still Talking "Tropicals" to Men
A man will feel cool in almost
any tropical suit, but to be cool is
not necessarily to be comfortable.
No man who cares about his ap
pearance feels comfortable in a
badly-made, wrongly fashioned, ill
fitting suit, no matter how cool a
suit it may be.
For that reason not all tropical
suits are comfortable suits. But we
have, tropical suits that are as
smart-looking, as well-fashioned
and a3 well tailored as they are
cool, and they are as cool as it is
possible for them to be.
There is all the difference in the
world between a tropical suit and a
Wanamaker tropical suit, the dif
ference being all in favor of the
last-named, if we do say so.
Men wanting to put on tropical
suits might as well put on the kind
that combine coolness and comfort
with the "right fashion lines and
tailoring.

of that kind to show them. x '
