The' Water Supply in the City
Reservoirs Is Not Fuller
than the fullness of this edifice which is an
immense reservoir of the new
Autumn and Winter goods
prepared for the largest sales. Naturally we must
begin the season with a great stock of the newest
and best and yet we must have the inlets full to keep
up every week, day by day, the freshness which our
patrons look for here.
As George Eliot says, we must keep up the solar
energy.

What of the Ash Barrel and the
Garbage Can and the Coal Bucket?
These are things that occasionally want to be relieved of their duty and
replaced.
What is there more annoying than an ash barrel that wastes its sub
stance on the sidewalk, or more disgraceful than a garbage can that leaks
away its life blood in the back yard to the everlasting joy of the stray dog and
to the scandal of the neighborhood.
Lowly and humble as they are, these necessary utensils of housekeeping
have a deal to do with the good standing of the family in the community.
Look into the stocks of the '
Wanamaker September Sale
of Housewares

Whatever housekeeping utensils are needed for this Winter campaign,
