It Is a Fact of Actual
Record That When
This Store
on its first day opened the only doors
it had on the Market Street front, it
was to go instantly into wa and to
do battle with every store in the city
then in existence.
The battle was not then of the
choosing of the man who wrote this
yesterday for today's newspaper.
It was purely the misconception of
the old-time storekeepers as to the
purpose of
A New Kind of Store
It never has been the purpose of
this Store to be
Competitive, Fussy or
Jealous of Others
Months ago we foresaw that a
beginning must be made to lower
prices and to stem the tide of
audacious urgency on the part of
certain makers and holders of goods
to continue advancement of prices.
We threw our hat into the ring,
As Theodore Roosevelt once did,
And it is still in the ring!
At a loss we cleared and got the
money for several millions of dollars
of goods, and little by little we put
into our stocks whatever we could
buy at lower prices.
Which We Are Now Selling
at Newly Made Prices
We Caught Up With the
Good Opportunities
and so we shall catch up every day
with every opportunity and keep on
going after those opportunities.
We shall have
No Hurly-Burly Sales
and we think it hardly fair to coax
or excite people to buy months ahead
of their wants, when goods may be
cheaper two months from now.
At the present time some
schemers, who are overstocked, come
to us with their old prices marked
up one-third or more, that they may
be so advertised by the retailer, but,
in fact, the goods can be bought at
forty off from the face of the bill.
This Is a Store Wholly Different
From All Sucty Trickery
We stand for the people, who
expect different of us and whom we
protect with all the zeal and
knowledge we have gained.
That man or woman, buyer or
manager, in our employ, if any such
there be, who fails to see that our
patrons get every advantage in their
purchases of the reductions we
secure, will lose his or her place,
sure and certain.
We have but little, if any, old
stock on hand, and everything is
justly marked, some at a considerable
loss to ourselves.
This Store will not cease to care
first for its patrons while its present
owners live.

tion of the electrically-operated reproducing piano, and the pinnacle of their
achievement is the
f
A1PIC REPMDDCING PIANO
People whose choice of a piano is not limited by their means select such in
struments as the Chickering or the celebrated Knabe.
And for the same reason equally fortunate people in search of a player or
reproducing piano choose the electrically operated Ampico, which is made in union
with the Chickering and the Knabe.
The Ampico reproducing piano is the most highiy perfected reproducing
mechanism known. It is superb in finish and workmanship and it will reproduce
any pianist's performance with a fidelity little short of miraculous.
If you want a reproducing piano that represents the ultimate in the develop
ment of such instruments, the Ampico is the thing. People who own other forms of
player or reproducing pianos can have them accepted as part payment.
Ampico reproducing pianos are on sale in Philadelphia at Wanamaker's only
and may be purchased on convenient terms. , ,
Chickering Ampico, electrically operated, $2200 and $3500.
The celebrated Knabe Ampico, electrically operated, $2100 and $3500.
From 1:30 to 2:30 every day the marvelous performance of these instruments
is demonstrated in xvlwb is known as Ampico Hour. You are invited to Egyptian '
