To Meet the Expectations of
Our Clients, Who Depend
on Us
we are obliged to be "en rapport" with every
country on all sides of the globe in these times,
when almost -every industry of the old world
has to be re-established and assisted to "get on
its feet again."
We have tried to be open-eyed and large
minded and without narrowness in resuming
connections that existed, in many instances for
over forty years, when we were the only retail
store in Philadelphia to be directly represented
there. 4
A. T. Stewart & Co., our New York house,
was in foreign countries before us.
Suffice it to say, we are availing ourselves
by our old connections abroad to be constantly
informed of everything going on, and we are
bringing to our doors the most desirable
merchandise to be found.
Our long-time relations with manufac
turers and our influences as users of large
quantities of goods give us considerable
importance in every market of the world.

The People Are Carrying Away
These Splendid Shoes, Two
and Three Pair Apiece
What wonder if they do when they are getting, in most cases,
two pair for the usual price of one.
And with Winter coming on and with shoe prices unlikely to
change-much for six or eight months to come.
"It seems that it is only at Wanamaker's," said a woman yester
day," that prices really come down on desirable things."
"On 4esirable things!" That is the very point of it.
The shoes in this sale are not odd lots nor somebody's rejects;
they are not shoes thai have been picked over and left behind. They
are all new shoes, four-fifths of them before the public for the first
time.
They are fine shoes; every pair of them is a pair of fine shoes.
They are "desirable" because they are the very shoes that most
people want most.
And they are good. It is-very important that they are good,
because there are so many shoes on the market right now that are
not good.
If you saw your neighbor come home with a pair of them, ask
her about this sale.

distinctive features, such as the new shoemaker stitching, pinch-tucking, narrow strap

Men's New Fall Suits Are Here
and They Are Better
Prices have not come down much a very little.
But the clothes are better vastly better. The careless and don't-care sort of
workmanship that you saw so much of during wartime and since is disappearing now.
Men's new Fall suits in our stocks show evidence of good, painstaking tailoring
as if somebody now took pride in hand craftsmanship. It is a most hopeful sign.
They are bigger, too. Your military-fitting tight coat appears no more. There
is a graceful roominess and freedom.
You probably don't want to buy yet it is a little early. But you want to see
what"the new things are like.
We will take pleasure in showing you.
