The World Would Be Cold
and Poor For Us All Were
It Not For
the little things that thoughtful
individuals whose lives are bound up
together do for each other in families or
employments.
After all, our deepest, truest, real
life is lived in ones and twos and not in
the uncounted population of the State or
Nation.
If he or she be but one in a million,
come to think of it, the world would all
be changed for us without that special
individual.
How much depends on the single
' events of each day as it passes by!
Even the life of a Store like this has
to be lived right every day.

The most popular of all silks on the market at this time for every kind of
women's wear is what is known as
American Silk Broadcloth
being a fine, fashionable silk of a most dependable quality.
'A year and a half ago this silk was scarce at $3 a yard ; it became scarcer and
the price rose the prices of all silks rose in most places the price of this silk rose
60 per cent, but it never got that high with us.
Since the patriotic movement of the Wanamaker Stores in May and June, when
we lowered all prices 20 per cent, insisting that the market ought to come down in
many directions', silks have somewhat receded.
Now we have just succeeded in getting hold of 300 pieces of this beautiful
American silk broadcloth, which is first quality perfect goods that we can put on sale
at the old price of 18 months ago, $3 a yard.
Beautiful, fashionable goods patterned in all sorts of stripes on white grounds
besides plain white.
32 inches wide ; incomparable at the price.

It Is Player-Pianos That PeopleWant Most Just Now
Either In their Summer homes, to get tho fullest measuro of
enjoyment out of their Summer holidays, or in their homes in town,

is a pity for any one to bo without one. Everybody loves music and
with player-pianos everybody can havo it, whether they aro musi

Tho value of n player-piano, however, depends very directly on

a travesty on what a good player-piano would have been.
If you aro thinking of buying a player-piano and almost every
ono who has none does think of it, how and then bo sure to get
an instrument that will give you complete satisfaction.
In tho Wanamaker Piano Store is probably tho most notable col
lection of well-known player-pianos in the city. If you get ono of
these you havo a doublo guaiantee of satisfaction, that of a known
and honorable factory and that of tho Wanamaker Store.
Here are some of tho more moderately priced:
Pianista, $775.
LIndoman player-piano, $800.
Marshall and Wendell Angelus, $050.
Emerson player-piano, $950.
Emerson Angelus, $1000.
Schomacker player-piano, $1150.
Marshall and Wendell Ampico (foot pump), $975.
i
Wo also havo a little group of new and used instruments on
which prices have been materially lowered.
Any piano may be bought on convenient terms.
