and What They Mean to You
There Were Thirty-one Big
Ocean Steamers by the
Actual Count
0n the west side of the River Delaware
yesterday morning at 9 o'clock between the
Reading wharf at Kaighns Point and Chestnut
Street Ferry, almost all carrying heavy cargoes.
Best of all, it has been like that for three
months past, with some interruptions from the
longshoremen's strikes.
This means much for a new order of things
for Philadelphia.-
Let ship owners and managers try to
overcome labor difficulties and let the merchants
and manufacturers and iron founders do their
utmost to encourage and find freights for the
ship owners.
We have not worked together enough to
bring business by the Delaware Gate.

New Autumn Dresses
Samples At $75
That word samples means as most women know that 36 is
the only size. Also it means that no two of the dresses are alike.
But this latter isn't precisely a drawback to women who like
variety when choosing something now.
The thirty-five dresses include tricotines and a few duvetynes;
all of the straight-lino type; and showing many different decora
tionswool embroidery, narrow strips of oil cloth, rich silk braid,
or braid severely plain. Almost all of them are navy only a
few are black.
The price $75 is possible simply because they are samples.

II l,w Bt y " ' jzffig If it
IF YOU are to make sure of getting the best
return for the money you have to invest in
furniture, you must come in without letting
another day pass and see the goods that go to
the making of the Wanamaker Furniture Sale,
the world's greatest sale.
Clearly, you cannot be sure that .you are
getting as much for your money as you can get
uriless you see the largest stock of the finest
furniture in America, probably in the world.
That is the stock upon which this August
Sale is built.
There is only one way to have as large and
satisfactory a sale and that is to have the mer
chandise that nearly everybody wants, to have
it in a choice nobody else can equal and at
prices that cannot be improved upon, taking
everything into consideration.
Savings Are Based on Quality
So far as we know there is not one piece of unworthy furniture in all this wonderful
acreage of cabinet works.
There is not one piece that was originally overpriced to the extent of a ten-cent piece.
Like all Wanamaker Furniture Sales, this is essentially a sale of safe, reliable furniture
at safe and reliable savings. It is not a sale built on cardboard a sale of alluring price-tags.
All the savings in the Wanamaker Sale are based on one thing the reliability of the
goods. They could not be on any other basis and be as real as they are.
No matter what angle you may view it from, if you need furniture of a reliable kind
to any extent from one piece to houseful, everything, but especially your own interest, points
to the supreme advantage of choosing it in the Wanamaker Sale.
It is a demonstrable fact that it is practically impossible to choose with the same advan
tages anywhere else, because outside of the Wanamaker Sale they are not to be found.
