In One of Charles Dickens'
Stories Mark Tapley Says
he would like to squeeze Mr. Pecksniff behind
the door, because he was the
Sort of man who
would squeeze soft.
This is the way some of us feel about recent
books and novels they are beautifully bound
with pictures on the front, and almost all of
them squeeze very soft, there's so little to them.
Do give us some strong books, solid,
substantial and real; less whipped cream and
souffles.
A man wants books 'that won't "squeeze
soft." ; '

inner frames, too.
The new prices, $2.75, $3, $3.75 and up to $7.50, are much less
than similar bags have been-selling for.

Men 's Tropical Suits
and Other Suits
Every One a Wanamaker Sijit
There is only one kind of tropical suit worth con
sidering and that is the best. We have no other kind.
By their very nature, tropical fabrics must be tai
lored with care. A "tropical" suit made of an inferior
fabric, or badly tailored, or both, is dear no matter
how "cheap" it is.
The Wanamaker insistence upon first-class fabrics
and finest tailoring means a great deal in regular
woolen suits. Think of what it means in tropical suits !
Whether you want a regular Summer woolen suit
or a tropical suit, the certainty of quality in every
Wanamaker suit leaves you no excuse for taking less
than the best to be had for your money.
Wanamaker Palm Beach suits are real Palm Beach
suits, made of the one genuine Palm Beach fabric.
They can be had in brown, gray, heather mixtures
and different shades of tan or sand tones, and they are
priced at $20 and $22.50.
Mohair suits, $25 and $30.
Tropical suits of coolest worsted, $32 to $40.
Knitted sports coats, $20.
Blue flannel sports coats, $18.
White flannel and striped flannel trousers, $12.
White duck trousers, $3.50.
Khaki trousers, $2.
Serge suits, including models for young men, $30
to $60.

$35 to $65.
