Of the Many Dignitaries of
State and Church
of every nation to visit and be welcomed to this
dtyof
The Declaration of Independence,
none came closer to the people's hearts than
His Eminence Cardinal Mercicr
of Belgium
The memory of the modesty and wisdom
of this old priest, who fought back with sublime
.faith the enemies of his nation and of the
world, will remain.
The gentlest of men, the sweetest in spirit,
and of all men the bravest, to resist single
handed, as the anvil meets the blow of the
hammer, the demands of an entire army
without the gates of his Cathedral, threatening
him with instant death.
The thrill of his words and the beneficence
of his spirit!
Like the anvil, he took the blow; but with
the sledge-hammer riveted with his faith, he
hammered down his assailants with a stroke
which will re-echo through all the ages to
come.
Signed
July 2, 1921.

A LL roads at one time led to Rome; and
f in every city, great or small, the "Via
Romana" was the most interesting of all its
' thoroughfares, for there it was that the most
interesting people, travelers from far and
near, were to be met, coming or going.
And doubt it not that it was dotted with
stalls, booths or bazaars where the market's
choicest wares were on display and sale;
maybe "apes, ivory and peacocks"; certainly
many wonders and luxuries, as well as neces
saries, of the ancient world.
It is an established fact that nearly
everybody from the sixty-seven counties of
this great State of Pennsylvania, going his
or her way to the seashore resorts, stops off
in Philadelphia and in stopping, visits -Wanamaker's;
ofttimes before visiting any
other place.
In fact, the same thing is true of all
vacationists on their way to the New Jersey
coast resorts from the forty-eight States of
this great Union.
Of course they1 want to see Wanar
maker's and if anything needs to be bought,
to buy it at Wanamaker's.
So it may be said that while all roads
in Philadelphia lead to Wanamaker's, the
Store's location being in the very heart of
the city's business activities, the very short
est and quickest road is the one which a
traveler takes from either of the two great
railway termini of the city, the Pennsylvania
Station at Broad and Market Streets and the
Reading Station at Twelfth and Market.
That Unique Down Stairs Store
pROM either place the subway trains
bring you in a couple of minutes prac
tically to the' doors of the Down Stairs Store
of Wanamaker's, where ready access may be
had by elevator to all other parts of the Store.
Or it is less than a two blocks' walk for
one who wishes to stretch. limbs cramped
from sitting in the train.
It is recommended, especially to those
who have not been here for a long time, to
take the route that brings you so close to the
Down Stairs Store, which is one of the unique
features of Wanamaker's.
O
Comfort and Safety Come First
N THE other hand, the visitor who
comes to the Store on foot or by sur
face car from the railway station is apt to
enter from Market Street, and the moment
he sets foot on the cool and beautiful marble
floors of the Main Aisle he is on the veritable
"Via Romana" of commerce.
At no time more than in Summer is the
far-sighted planning for the comfort of the
public, in the form of this wide and splendid
thoroughfare for all who care to use it, with
or without a glance at the beautiful and
varied merchandise nearby, justified in its
results.
Notice of -Summer Holidays
Following its custom, originated in
1914, the Wanamaker Store will be closed
on each one of the eight coming Satur
days in July and August.

To be outright, we do not know of any
thing like it in the world.
Speaking of interesting people (and
people of importance are interesting), it is
the only store specializing in the sale' of
lower-priced merchandise where you'll see
among the shoppers Mrs. Rittenhouse
Square and Mrs. Main-Line.
Part and parcel of the Wanamaker
Store today, as when it was first established
five years ago, the Down Stairs store is de
voted to the sale of DEPENDABLE, but
moderate-priced, merchandise.
Finely lighted, abundantly ventilated, it
covers the whole of the floor below the Street
Floor, with additional galleries, and it car
ries the largest stock of retail merchandise
(all new and bought expressly for it) to be
found on a single floor anywhere.
Above is that great well of air and sun
light, impressive in its architecture, noble in
its proportions, the Grand Court of Honor,
and if the time of clay be 9 or 11 A. M.
or 4.50 P. M., the strains of fine music, soft
and restful or martial and inspiring, may be
heard pealing forth from the largest organ
in the world.
Throngs of people pass one on that Main
Aisle were ever so many seen in a store?
but there is no jostling, no pushing, for there
is room and aplenty for everybody here, and,
in fact, over the whole Store.
It is such an interesting throng that, if
it were proper to discuss one's guests, we
should like to say just "Who's Who in Wana
maker's" (with additional bulletins issued
every hour).
Some of them are very distinguished
personages indeed, and all of them, whether
strangers in town or old acquaintances, feel
very much at home, and keen to see all that
they've time to see, in Wanamaker's.
Ease of Access and Expeditious
Service
TITANY of them have come to buy all that
"LVA they've time to buy in Wanamaker's,
and it is astonishing how quickly and effi
ciently one can find one's way to what one
wants, considering that this is a Store of no
small dimensions.
Think of some farm you know of that
includes forty-five acres, and you will have
the best mental picture of the total floor
space covered by the fourteen floors and
the galleries of the Store.
Were all these floors as wide only as
Market Street, and placed there encl joining
to end, they would stretch from the Delaware
River to Sixtieth Street, if taken' between
curb lines.
All day, through this great place, fresh
air is brought in from the outside every six
seconds and water-washed to make it both
pure and cool, and the stale air rushed out
by suction.
Perhaps that is why so many people
have told us that, no matter how long they
stay here, they do not experience the sense
of fatigue they associate with shopping else
where. As for the merchandise, it is renewed
almost as freshly as the air and necessarily
so, for sometimes it goes out of the Store
with almost as great a rush as the air!
A recital of all the new, interesting
things in the Store just now, particularly
those most attractive to the vacationist or
those preparing for vacations, would almost
rival in its length and imposingness the line
just referred to, of Wanamaker Store floors
placed end to end.
Please Make Yourself at Home
TVTAKE use of all of the conveniences of
our Store, whether you visit it for busi
ness or for pleasure, and when your vacation
is over, give us another look-in on the way
back. The Store changes daily, almost hourly,
in its offerings of merchandise, but never in
its sincere offering of hospitalities.
