18,000 Yards of Beautiful Cretonne
Ready Tomorrow at 28c,48c and 60c
140 Patterns and Colorings, All at Much
Less Than Half Price
This is the most notable distribu
tion of cretonnes that we have ever
known.
The prices are the lowest since
before the war. There are:
7000 yards at 28c
40 patterns and colorings.
6500 yards at 48c
60 patterns and colorings
4500 yards at 60c
32 patterns and colorings.
Most of these cretonnes are 36
inches wide. A small number are
30 inches wide.
One whole aisle of the Upholstery
Store will be given over to the dis
play of these cretonnes tomorrow, so
that selection will be most convenient.
You Will Find
(1) formal patterns, stripes, archi
tectural designs ; (2) floral designs where
every garden flower blooms and rambles;
(3) verdure effects, leafy patterns in soft,
cool greens, suggesting midsummer days ;
(4) brilliant birds on dark or vivid
grounds.
A Glow of Color
Dainty stripes and pastel floral designs
for bedroom or boudoir:
sharp-toned, glazed chintzes and pat
terns in old rose, mauve, mulberry, dove
gray, pimento red, copper and black for
the living room;
dining-room colors: bright blue and
black, or tapestry weaves, or Chinese gold
and black stripes with a touch of rose, or
the new linenized cretonne, almost as ;rich s
as the English hand-blocked linens which
sell for five times the price. -
A Remarkable Feature
of this Sale is the quantity of cretonne in
each design. Unlike the average sale
(which offers but one piece or half a piece
of a good pattern) there are from 120 to
160 yards of every pattern in this Sale.
So that if you want to do an 'entire
room curtains, slipons, cushion covers,
everything with one pattern, you 'may
do so.
And we haven't the slightest idea that
we shall be able to duplicate these values
for a long, long time.

A Little Talk on What We
Consider the Best Gas
Range Made
gas mngeandaemak0r g8S '"' in Ur Judfniun th "
Long years of selling many kinds of ranges have brought us
to this conviction.
It is the best-constructed range in point of materials, per
fection of parts and finish.
Its superior features which we can best show in a per
sonal demonstration make for less gus consumption, forr ita
easier care and for its overlastingness,
It is perfectly possible to buy a gus range for less; but we
aro convinced it is NOT possible to buy anywhere else a gas
rango so good in ovory particular as tho Wanamaker for tha
price that it costs.
Wanamaker gas ranges como in ten diflferpnt stylcsfcrAced
from $32 for a three-burnc apartment or bungalow range, com
plete in every particular, ifp to $275 for an extra large jqie six
burner cabinet range with' double oven and every improved cook
ing device. Cabinet ranges start at $66.50. Vy
Wo shall be glad'lo point out tho merits of (he variou
styles to any prospective gas-range purchaser.
