Wanamaker Men's Suits Are
an Investment in Quality
They pay. They pay as all merchandise of good quality justly priced
always pays.
Wanamaker men's suits represent an effort, expert and deliberate, to pro
vide suits of the finest grade to be found in the world of men's ready-to-wear
clothing.
To be more exact, they represent the success of that effort, which is really
the thing that matters.
They are priced at $35 to $65 and the youths' models at $25 to $40. Of
course they could be marked lower, but only by leaving out some of the quality
which makes them the best investment at the money.

"Shall I Get a Small or a Large
Straw Hat?" He Asked
"Whichever is most becoming," we told him, so he took a hat
with a rather wide brim and rather low crown. The high crown,
small brim style did not look at all well on him.
On another man the smaller hat might have been just the
thing.
One great advantage of a straw hat is that there is no fixed
shape which every man must wear to be in fashion, nut unfor
tunately not cverj hat -tore has the 'aiicty of shapes that

Enameled and Decorated Furniture to Go With
Sunshine and Soft Breezes in Summer Homes
upward , broak-
Color, the color that refreshes weary eve?, who doesn't
long for it in Summertime? What is a Summer home for,
if not to enable one to get away from all that has become
stale, stuffy and oppressive?
Color is the thing in a Summer home color and some
thing of novelty; all of vhich means atmosphere, and
atmosphere means everything to those who feel and under
stand. It is like feeling the breath of an ocean or a mountain
breeze to think of a bedroom in a cottage furnished with
one of the enameled and decorated suits you will see hero.
It is a long time since wc introduced this class of furniture
to Philadelphia, and in the meantime we have learned a
great deal about it. All we know is well represented by
the assortment of bedroom suits we are now showing.
What better can we say of them than to tell you they
are the kind that go with sunshine and refreshing breezes
and freedom and all the soft, delicious things that make
Summertime thrilling even to think of.
A casual glance at the bedroom suits shows such
colors as ivory and white enamel decorated ; buff and green
decorated ; straw and blue decorated ; orange enamel deco
rated; yellow enamel decorated; jet black enamel deco
rated ; together with other enameled suits, all of them deco
rated and in such shades as gray, blue, buff (with variously
colored stripes), white with delft blue, and others besides.
Breakfast-room suits in a diversity of designs that
charm are here in a relatively large variety.
