The Wanamaker Expositions
Next Monday
Will Be Devoted to New Goods for Spring and Southern Wear
Exemplifying the Advance Fashions of 1921
New Fabrics, New Fashions, New Millinery, New Accessories of Every
Sort, and in Most Cases at Lower Prices
KE encouragement of the new Season is in the new goods the most exquisite and desirable productions
of Paris and of America. They are all in the unhampered spirit of the enthusiastic new Season.
In the great majority of cases these new goods come to us at new low prices.
It is not an exhibition of old, last-season things, picked over and tumbled over and left behind and
reduced to hurry them away such is not the Wanamaker spirit.
' The new goods are beautiful, fresh from the needle, fresh from the loom, fresh from the hands of the
most skillful workers in America and in Paris. All were bought under the new market conditions and, with
the exception of a few things, reflect the new lower wholesale and import costs.
Everybody will want to see these new goods, everybody will want to know what the world is going to
wear this coming season. Everybody will be delighted to find the Wanamaker Store in its new Spring dress
from top to bottom, looking forward, going forward, opening up the great new Season with the goods to
justify its great enthusiasms.

Monday Will Also Bring an Important Sale of Women's
Garments in the Down Stairs Store
EVERY woman or girl who needs a new, fashionable dress, coat or wrap,
should be there as early as possible, so as to take advantage of the full
range of choice in this sale, one of the most remarkable in its qualities and its
prices that we have ever held.
Prices are in many instances LO WER than they were before the war.
How often, even before the war, were you able to purchase yourself a
presentable woolen, and even silk, dress for $6?
Yet this sale of 3200 dresses for girls and women starts at this amaz
ingly low figure, and with eveiy dress new, fresh, of nice quality and fashion
able style.
How long has it not been since you found a handsome dinner dress, silk
lined, elegantly made and trimmed, available for the low price of $32.50?
Yet such dresses, at this most moderate price, are a feature of the sales
event of Monday next, December 27. In quantities, qualities and prices the
sale can provide for practically any woman's need for Winter dress, coat or
wrap which has been deferred "until Christmas was over."
Choose From 3200 Women's Wool and Silk Dresses, $6 to $32.50
A range of fully 200 fashionable styles is compre
hended in this timely offering of good late Winter models,
or in some instances of advance Spring styles.
All sizes, from 16 years to 44 inches bust measure, are
represented in each price-group, but, of course, not in
variably all sizes in each style.
The dresses are fresh, unhandled garments. They
have been recently made up in establishments noted for
the high grade of their output, and have freshly entered
the Store, so it may be seen that they are the very reverse
of "mark-downs" or "slow sellers."
The qualities of the silks, satins, velveteens, chiffon
velvets, tricotines, serges and Poiret twills employed in
their making will amaze you.
The charm and variety of their styles will delight you.
Everybody has been considered. There are quiet and
conservative styles for mothers and grandmothers if they
like that kind, but other styles if they prefer the other kind.
The girls of the family, from 16 years upward, will
find no end of smart, youthful, fascinating frocks the
snappy girdle, the graceful sash, the redingote effect, the
Eton jacket, the side-pleated or knife-pleated skirt or panel,
the latest frills and furbelows lhat add the novel and the
fashionable touch.
Trimmings are as diversified as styles. You can't help
but find whatever pretty effect you most like, whether it
be beading in plain colors or the beautiful iridescent onus,
embroidery in self or contrasting colors, handsome braid
ing, bright metal buttons, maybe, or the always distin
guished effect imparted by piping in contrasting shades.
Simple styles, too. arc not lacking for such as like
simplicity.
