Lowering Prices Whenever Possible Without Lowering Qualities
Clever People to Whom
Everything Comes Easy
ire like a young friend of years ago, whose natural
ability and college education, because of his
readiness and case in dofng everything, promised
rrcat things, but who became slipshod.
He spent his time "come day, go day," as some
noting fellows say, thus forming a wasteful habit of
oth time and money, and when his accomplishments
rt-cre counted up there was nothing left to carry
ivcr, and nothing to show for the fine education and
ihe money and properties left to him by his
painstakng father, whose lifetime savings were
frittered away.

Straw Hats Ready at
Wanamaker's
Famous Lincoln-Bennett and Redleaf London Hats
All of Them Genuine 1921 Straw Hats
Undoubtedly the Greatest Values
in Philadelphia
Prices $3 to
Nearly all the sons and fathers and grand
fathers and bachelors in Philadelphia feel that they
must have straw hats by Saturday.
Saturday, by reason of settled custom, starts the
straw hat season with the Penn-Princeton game.
All sorts of stores sell all sorts of straw hats.
but this Store can be depended upon to sell only good it
straw hats and every one of them satisfactory.
To many men the straw hat is just a name for
an article of apparel that is fashionable, that is
uncomfortable and easily soiled.
Which is quite true of most low-grade hats.
But a good straw hat is a vastly different
proposition.
We have been experimenting for years trying
out one maker after another and one method after
another, until finally our ideas have been embodied
in the straw hats that are made for us under the
Redleaf and Lincoln-Bennett labels, which are the
most finished products to be obtained.
They are comfortable because of the anatomically applied egg oval.
They are comfortable because of the cushioned-for-comfort head line.
They are extraordinary in value because Wanamaker straw hats keep
fresh.
Every one of our straw hats is a 1921 hat, none carried over from
last year.
Sizes and correct new lines for
fitting.
