"Any Luck?"
is the salutation and query of one fishing-boat to
another, hailing each other as they pass.
There is a lot of goo'd nature in the world, as
well as information, that can be brought out by a
smile and cheery word as we pass along.
Just try it and sec for yourselves. Some men,
who can make fine public speeches from a forum
desk, a pulpit or platform, ars so oUlsh after a
public performance that in private they lose the
benefit of the charm they wore in the large
assemblage by a brilliant address.
If men were to get nearer to each other and
practice good fellowship even modcratcl;, this
would be a happier world to live in. It would not
cost much to try it.

of Chinese Rugs
Many months ago cur own representative chose these
rugs off tho looms of Pekin and Tientsin, two of, tho im
portant weaving centers in China.
Wo bought them on advantageous terms and wo arc
offering them at remarkably low prices accordingly.
All tho good qualities for which Pekin and Tientsin are
noted are pronounced in these nieces the substantial weave,
thick nap and soft, lustrous colors.
In most of tho new pieces, blue is the predominant
shade, often a deep, ultramarine, while many are in a lighter
tone.
Tho figures, typical Chinese devices, arc chiefly in tan
or golden tints.
The shipment comprises both carpet sizes and smaller
rugs, and considering the excellence of the rugs and tho
prices we have marked n thein, is one of the best we have
had in n long time.

WANAMAKER
Standard of America
PIANOS
Certain very fine and famous goods have
come unscathed through the turmoil of the
past few years.
Among them are Wanamaker pianos,
standard of America.
The reputation of these splendid instru
ments was no ephemeral thing, to flicker and
wane under changing business conditions. It
was built on years of faithful service.
In the not-so-long-ago days when any
piano was salable, Wanamaker Standard
Pianos kept the faith. Their excellence never
varied.
Today, when people want to be certain of
satisfaction in piano, player-piano or repro
ducing piano, they remember the
Chickering
Schomacker
Emerson
Haines Bros.
Lindeman
Marshall & Wendell
Bramhach
J. C. Campbell
and the celebrated Knabe
These distinguished instruments are sold
at Wanamaker's only in Philadelphia. Their
prices compare agreeably with those of other
pianos of the same grades and any one may
be bought on convenient terms.
