EVENING PUBLIC LEDGEKr-PHItiADELPHIA, SATTTKDAY, AUGUST 13, 1921. a. 'I STWZtf CLOSED , WEATHER Fair WANAMAKER'S WANAMAKER'S WANAMAKER'S WANAMAKER'S ALL DAY TODAY V'j Wanamaker Furniture Is in Wonderful Demand, but the Stocks in the August Sate Are Still More Wonderful Lots of Young Men Find Much Trouble In Meeting Their Expenses Parents and guardians should consider this very seriously. Certainly the young fellows love to be in each other's company. They go to the movies together, exchange cigars and cigarettes and drinks, sometimes, automobile favors, theater tickets and "what not," as one chap states it. All these things cost money, and every self-respecting youth with any pride has to bear his own share or suffer in his reputation. It is not necessary for one boy to always attempt to match up with another boy better off financially, but the good boy can be trusted to take care of an increased allowance as he grows up in his place. It is a mistake not to train our boys in their early days to the proper use of money. Signed August S8, 10B1.
