Thus began for the llruVh Creek

galore, not to mention the big meeting

of penitents yielded barely two con

Altogether there liad not been sucn sur

DOWN STAIRS STORE
WANAMAKER'S
Ready With Low Prices on
Wanamaker's Down
Week-End Needfuls
Stairs Store
For the Woman From
California
Who Is Stopping Over in Philadelphia and Who
Has Never Seen This Down Stairs Store
You have heard of Wanamakcr's all your life, and
these last few years there have been snatches of news
about a Down Stairs Store, but that was somewhat
swallowed up in the down stairs stores that have
sprung up like mushrooms throughout the West. The
identity of this Down Stairs Store as part of Wana
maker's was therefore lost.
So far as we know, there is
No Other Down Stairs Store Like This
in the World
maybe that is because there are no other Wana
maker Down Stairs Stores, aside from this one in
Philadelphia and the one in New York. "WANA
MAKER'S Down Stairs Store" is the correct name.
One gets more of its full character in that.
While being an indissoluble part of the Wana
maker business, it is yet a Store apart, having entirely
different stocks of merchandise.
It Is a Lower-Price Store, but Not a
Dumping Ground
as so many other down stairs stores. The same stand
ards of fair dealing and dollar-for-dollar value are in
effect down here as in the upstairs store. That is the
marvel of it.
So, Miss or Mrs. California
we cordially invite you to see this different kind of
store with its fresh, new -and seasonable stocks well
displayed, its roomy aisles, good service and pleasant
always-cool-and-refreshing atmosphere.
Come in, do, and feel at home ! And, even if things
do grow "larger and better in California," you'll find
Wanamaker's Down Stairs Store something to talk
about when you get back home.
