The Basis of Good Quality in Furniture as in S
Many Other
What Are Workers Getting
From Saturdays Off and
Fortnight Holidays?
If the holiday is wasted in idleness it is a
double loss for the giver and the receiver.
The patrons of stores and their out-of-town
visitors to the city, going and coming for and
from holiday making, sacrifice, to show good
will toward and sympathy for the daily toilers
of shops dnd offices, by their willingness to allow
us to shorten hours and lop off a whole day of
the weekly service in Summer.
There are baskets full of health, poetry and
sweet songs along the country roads and
wayside walks of the Wissahickon, Neshaminy
and Perkiomen.
The homely fields where the ctowsand sheep
and home and farm life and growing things are
suggest content and usefulness.
None of the green things is sleeping except
the I. W. W.'s of a special class within a class,
to whom the letters only spell
I Won't Work!
' There's life and growth and movement in
everything in nature. The nightly dews and the
morning sun do their part, and that little creek
in the meadow, where the cows drink of the
sparkling stream, seems to delight to do its part
and say so to us as we look at it.
There are no mysteries of growth in the
daylight schools of the seashore or the open
country. (

Women Find Many Uses for
These Fine Tub Silks
Years ago the tub silk was used chiefly for men's shirts, and
excellent for the purpose though it is, it is certainly limiting its
possibilities not to use it for other needs, too.
Nowadays well-gowned women want these firm, excellent-wearing
silks for their own gowns, for linings (and there is a great demand
for them for this purpose), for sports blouses and sports skirts, and
for many other needs.
American broadcloths, of which wc have a collection which peoplo
tell us is not equaled in Philadelphia, are most satisfactory for Summer
wear. Thoy launder beautifully. They wear like gingham. They arc
cool and comfortable. ,
Just now there is a very fine assortment of these silks in desirablo
colorings and designs at $3.50 the yard.
It will give us pleasure to show them to you. 1

Things Is, First of
All, Sincerity
Then comes skill, without which sincerity is little better than a good inten
tion. The two combined are potential, powerful. When a true sense of pro
portion, outline ajid harmony is added we get pretty close to the ideal.
We have something here in which that ideal is reflected in a very impres
sive and very interesting way. ,
We mean the goods that are to be the mainstay of the
Great August Furniture Sale
As they stand, they are chiefly the result of a process of avoidance and
rejection the avoidance and rejection of the unsound, the unworthy, the un
gracious, and, of course, the ugly.
We have always sought for the dependable, the fine, the appealing, the
beautiful things. So far as this coming August Furniture Sale is concerned we
can say that we have found them and found them in abundance. Your own
eyes will bear witness, if you are here, as we hope you will be, on Wednesday,
July 28th, the first of three days of advance selection.
All furniture chosen on any one of these days will be charged from Mon
day, August 2d.

Health, Comfort and Common Sense-
Men's Tropical Suits Stand for All Three1
At least Wanamaker men's
tropical suits stand for them.
And they stand for excellence
of line, fashion and making as
well.
To a feeling of coolness and
comfort thoy add the feeling of
satisfaction that puts a man at
ease as to his appearance.
One reason for this is because
they aro properly cut and well
fashioned. Another is because
thoy are well tailored.
In tropical suits, as well as in
regular suits, in fact, more than
in regular suits, these are the two
main essentials of good lines and
good looks.
Wanamaker tropical suits are
right in essentials and in details,
