,No Day Without a Line
' "Nulla dies sine tinea?'
Long before this building was built, a kind
friend placed upon an office desk in the Depot a
little motto made with her own hand in pen and ink,
which spoke daily its message to a young beginner
on the scaffold with square and trowel laying a new
wall of business foundations.
It comes bac5k and comes back' with each day.
saying:
"Master No day without a line!"
Cato, a Roman General, obliged the servant who
brought and served the soldier's breakfast to say to
him each morning:
"Carthage Must Be Destroyed!"
("Carthagb delenda est!")
Are there not Carthages still to be destroyed,
that endanger our beloved America, of which we
need to be reminded daily?
How much greater this business would be, if all
of us were determined to add a new endeavor each
day to do something better!

Idly Dreaming and Thinking
"Just getting away from myself," he said, "taking
a long journey into far-off lands after a hard day's
work.
"And I was just wondering what people did-in the
ages back when there were no instruments but the
primitive. . . . I'm a practical man myself; and
it is because of that fact that I have such a keen appre
ciation of this instrument of mine
.' i
THE '
WMtDERFOL JHPIGO
"I need relaxation; diversion; something to smooth
ojrit the wrinkles of Jifefand here, in this big arm chair,
I can sit and listen and dream; while Godowsky, or
Ornstein, or Rubinstein, quickens the understanding of
the calmer and more beautiful phases of life.
"No; I'm not a musician. ... I never knew
good music in my boyhood days. ... I never
studied it I have just opened my heart and
let it in and there it stays."
7 HE Ampico actually and faithfully reproduces
the interpretations of the world's great pian
ists. It can be had in the fine old dickering
piano, the Haines Bros., Marshall and Wendell and
the celebrated Knabe pianos, both upright and
grand. Let us explain to you how easy it is to own
one of these reproducers of music on your own

Saving You Must Act at Once
THE great August Furniture Sale is now a matter of days two days tomorrow and A ;
i'iiuu.,y f ujl una WtJGK, two Uciys viVJLUI1UiXJ "-"U xucoua,y; ujl iicai, ween.
Four days in all.
- Now the last days of every Wanamaker Furniture Sale are always days of great activity
because they are days of great opportunity.
J1 In that respect this Sale will not be an exception it will particularly exemplify the rule.
The people want Wanamaker furniture that is as sure a fact as there is in all merchan
dising. v
They want Wanamaker-furniture, and when they realize that they have just a 'few .days
in which to buy it at lowered prices, they don't let the grass grow under their fee. ' '
They would be foolish if they did, considering what these last days mean to them.
x And what they do mean can be told in plain words.
During these last days of the Sale you can choose from by far the largest assemblage
of high-grade furniture to be found at retail in America at savings as high as 50 per cent and
not" less than 10 per cent on anything.
Putting it another way, you still have not only anunequaled but a practically unlimited
stock to select from at August Sale prices, thus making good our statement that this Sale
would be backed with the goods every day to the very end.
r
Please Mark This .
In addition, we' are offering a splendid collection of dining-room. suits, bedroom suits and
hundreds of individual pieces for all rooms, including many wicker pieces, all at reductions
of one-third to one-half from regular prices. This special collection of individual things alone
is worth coming far to see and to select from.
You can understand then that these last days of the Sale are the days that bring out the
golden opportunities for people who do not hesitate, but act, when really good things are,
going. '.
Now is their time.
