How the Flowers Love the
Sunshine!
All the way along'the turnpike to Cafle May

flower festival. There's old Grandmother
Hollyhock, that your mother loved and talked
about so much, and nearby is Grandfather
Sunflower, tall and dignified, as if on-guard.
Gladioli, phlox, marigolds, bachelor buttons,
zinnias, larkspur, coxcomb, heliotrope, foxglove,
four-o'clocks and Rose of Sharon are abundantly
spread before you to remind you of your old
country home.
Take a day off and go back to the happy days
wjien you and mother made garden together.
It might be the best way to get a new action
started in your life.
Be at home when you like in this hospitable
mansion of merchandise, where everybody feels
at home;

TTAVING the furniture that people want
and having it at the safest low prices
people of good sense want to pay that is
what has made the Wanamaker Furniture
Sale a thing unrivaled in the world of retaiL
business.
It stands to reason that one could never
possibly build up a furniture sale to the great
est in the world with any furniture but the
furniture that people want.
For it is as true as anything can be that
the growth, the magnitude of a sale depend
directly upon what the people think about it.
And what people think about a sale
depends upon their own. actual experience of
what it can do for them. y
The Wanamaker Furniture Sale has
grown to be the greatest sale in the world
because the people have found it to be by far
the best sale from which to furnish or to
replenish a home.
It is the best and most satisfactory sale
because no better furniture can go into any
home.
.
It is the best and most satisfactory sala
because it provides a choice of the world's
finest cabinet work such as no other twd or
perhaps three stores combined can equal.
It is the best and most satisfactory sale
because no other sale presents the same
advantages to home furnishers the same
unrestricted choice of uniformly likable and
desirable styles and grades and the same
unquestionable qualities.
And certainly no sale affords savings that
can-by any chance be more real and genuine
than the savings offered in the Wanamaker
Sale, because above all other sales the
Wanamaker Sale must live and grow by the
genuineness of the furniture it brings and
the economies it offers.

Please Notice the Stripes in
New Fall Skirts
For stripes predominate
and they are such stripes ns
you are not likoly to hve
ever seen beforo in n skirt.
iDno thing is certain, however,
theso skirts for Fall are the
prettiest for many a day.
Just imagine a fine knifo
ploated skirt made up of nar
row Roman stripes in brilliant
colors, yet somehow tho whole
seems subdued to exactly tho
right tone.
Or a skirt of wide black
stripes, alternated with a
stripe of narrow Roman
colors. Or a skirt that has
first a stripe of plain and
then one of plaid material.
Others seem to bo embroid
ered with n gold thread in
the form of a stripe.
All the materials are woven
especially for theso skirts;
they aro fine all-wool gabar
dine mostly nnd one of tho
new features is tho sido fas
tening. Prices nro $22.50 to
$37.50.
