The New South Stands
Up Today With a
New North
to do large things for this great
United States of 48 loyal prosperous
states.
There are fewer differences
between the 48 states and the north
and south than ever before in the 48
distinct states. We are one for all
and all for one.
Rise up ye great States! all ye
people! for the something larger
than partisanship and celebrate your
centennial of 150 years by showing
your unity in 1926 and what you
really are to the world.

finish, or even Australian opossum collars.

The New Dress Blouses
Are Lovely
Very often they are of crepe Georgette, for this
fabric lends itself admirably not only to the winter
fashions but to adornment as well, and forms just
the background for beading, embroidery or real lace.
Many of the new models are in the overblouse
style, though there aro any number of smart
blouses to wear inside the skirt, too. Some have
sashes which tie in back, some have narrow girdles.
Jet and dark bends are much used; so, too, is real
laco, particularly filet and Irish, tho latter some
times dyed.
But not all aro of crepe Georgette, for some are
of satin, some of taffeta and crepe do chine. They
come in black and blue, of course, and the fash
ionable hues of tho winter. Sleeves are long or
short three-quarter length aro much liked.
Of the finer blouses we usually have but one
of a kind, so that thcro is a bit of wisdom in
selecting your blouse early.

A Sale That Is the Best Occasion Since 1912
to Get Beautiful Carpets and Small Rugs
$200,000 Worth
a Third to a Half Less
THE greatest Oriental rug sales ever known in'America have
been held in this Store. But, as in the case of all other goods,
the great war had a' tremendous influence on the prices of
Oriental rugs. ,
Here is a sale that brings us back practically to a pre-war
basis not, mark you, an offering of a few groups of pieces such
as might chance to be offered at abnormally low prices at any
time, but a gigantic movement, bringing more than $200,000
worth of Persian, Caucasian, Chinese and Asia Minor rugs in a
marvelous assortment of sizes and a wealth of colors and designs,
every rug in the collection marked to sell for bne-third to one
Jialf less than prevailing rates. ,
In its scope and unusualness we might call it an old-fashioned
Wanamaker Oriental rug sale.
Not since 1912 has there been any such occasion'
Most ,of these rugs are now at less than today's import cost.
And most of them are rugs recently imported the first large
direct imports for many years.
A very large proportion are rugs taken from our current
stocks and marked down one-third to one-half. The combined
collections represent the largest offering of such goods in a very
long time and provide an opportunity such as has never, perhaps,
been known outside of Wanamaker's, and one thatjs undoubtedly
without a rival anywhere in America today.
