Planning to Make the Last Week in October the Best
A Learned Bishop Speaking in
the House of Lords
at Westminster once said, on the occasion of a
question under discussion involving an old noble
family and another family of recent creation: "High
birth is a thing which I neycr knew any one
disparage exefept those who had it not, and that I
never knew any one make a boast of it who had
anything else to be proud of."
The first section of this tall granite 12-story
building looked down on the old Grand Depot sheds
and said to the old one-story structure, "I used to be
as low-down and small as you. Be patient and all of
Market Street and all of Chestnut Street to
Thirteenth, shall grow up twelve high stories, too."
Men and stores may grow tall, little by little, and
better and better, wherever they set themselves to do
the right tiling.

Oct. SS, 1020.

The Ampico Will Make Your
Entertainments Famous
Suppose you gave a dinner party, and while your guests were at the table Rach
maninoff, or Godowsky, or Ornstein, or some other celebrated artist sat down at your
piano and played for them.
Wouldn't that dinner be one of the social events of the season?
Yet except that he will not be there in person, you can have any one of a dozen
world-famous pianists help you entertain any time you wish. Or several of them. An
Ampico reproducing piano will echo their performances in your home.
The Incomparable Ampico
truly, the incomparable. The reproducing piano which does not merely imitate, but
actually reproduces every shade of expression and every detail of technviue in the
master's playing.
How much guests of real musical judgment will appreciate such music! How
much more it will appeal to them than the performance of a hired orchestra!
If you have an Ampico reproducing piano you can not only entertain delightfully,
but for your own delectation you may have whatever music you wish, at any time.
Ampico reproducing pianos are on sale in Philadelphia at Wanamaker's only,
and any of these instruments may be bought on convenient terms.
Chickering Ampicos, $1800, $2200 and $3500.
Haines Bros. Ampicos, $1200 and $1500.
Marshall & Wendell Ampicos, $975 and $1250.
The celebrated Knabe Ampicos, $1650, $2100 and $3500.
From 1:30 to 2:80 every day the marvelous performance of these instruments is
demonstrated in what is known as Ampico hour. You are invited to Egyptian Hall to
hear it.
