$100,000 Werth at Prices Lowered 50 Per Cent
This is a sweeping come-down in the prices of a very large proportion of the Oriental rugs
new in our possession.
It also covers some very fine new shipments.
It has net resulted from any sudden collapse of prices in the Oriental rug market, because
there has been none; although a slew downward revision is in process.
This is an independent movement of our own. We are playing off our own bat.
We knew of many people who have been waiting expectantly for an event of this kind
te happen. Most of them want Oriental rugs for themselves, but quite a number want them
for gifts.
In this Sale we have made for them an opportunity. All the rugs offered, new arrivals
and all, are lower than cost, and all of them are of the kind we are always glad te have. By
all means come in and see the beautiful and lavish lay-out of pieces, the finest seen in years,
and at prices that give dollars the buying power they used te have years age.

"Bad" Writes a Letter
te Santa Claus
Every day a host of letters from boys and girls are
dropped into the mail box at Santa Claus' headquarters
hcxe. The youngsters ask for everything, up te a mil
lion dollars, evidently going en the principle that there
is no sense in being niggardly when you're making
a wish.
But yesterday there was a goat among the sheep,
and the word "goat" is used advisedly. It was a letter
from a grown-up man, with a family of his own, and
this is what he wrete:
Philadelphia, Dec. 3, 1920.
Dear Old Man:
Let's make an agreement, you and I. I'll de everything I
can te make this the best Christmas my family ever had, and you
give the folks some hints about the things I really NEED.
Fer the past few years I've denied myself a great many
things. Almest every man has, and you knew it. I've tried te
keep my wife and the children looking well, but have sort of let
myself go te seed.
When I put en a necktie I have te knot it carefully se fhe
worn parts don't show, and only the ethor day my wife said she
had turned the cuffs en the last shirts I get.
I have almost brushed the nap off my hat, my socks are
darned fore and aft and my shoes are net what they were three
years age.
A little tailor in the neighborhood has been performing major
operations en my clothes, but they won't last much longer. If I
ever get a new suit it will doubtless make a snob of me. An
overcoat without fringe en the cuffs I should keep in the safe.
I don't remember when I get my gloves but it seems te me
they first split when I was applauding the returns en the night
of Tnft's election. I have heard of seamless hosiery, but these
are the first seamless gloves I ever had and I have become at
tached te them. I have learned te keep them en by keeping my
hands cle?ed.
My handkerchiefs, my underwear, my pnjamas all of them
are down te the minimum of efficiency and numbers.
Allthese things I really NEED, and'if my family wants te
make this a real honest-te-goodness Christmas for me, you tell
them hew they can de it.
There are ether things I should like, tee. The luxury of n
house coat or dressing gown, of n silk muffler, of a warm Scotch
wool vest, of a pair of comfortable house slippers.
It isn't hard te get gifts for a man. He nlmest always wants
something useful, but mere often he gets a hand-painted shaving
mug, or a pair of embroidered bed socks, or something the grocer
gave away te introduce a new brand of soap.
I am bndly in need of repair.'. Tell 'em that and make it
strong.
Yours truly,
DAD.
The Wanamaker Stores for Men have
everything "Dad" needs. Give him the
sort of Christmas an unselfish man
deserves.
