Some One Asked Charles
Kingsley, the Writer of Books,
"What is a nation?"
His reply was, "A nation is, after all, only the people
who compose it; (you and I, and our neighbors and our
neighbors' neighbors, and so on and so forth."
The government of a city is exactly what the people
choose to make it, who live in it, by their attention to their
duties as citizens.
Every man and woman entitled to vote is responsible
for the good dr bad rule of their officials.

September Sale of
Housewares
Saving 10 to 40 Per Cent
p HERE'S a joy in working when the tools are right that
the idler and the dawdler never know in their so-called
hours of pleasure. '
There's a satisfaction in saving money when you've
really saved it, to which momentary thrills derived from
make-believe economies in buying make-believe qualities
cannot hold a candle.
The Wanamaker September Sale of Housewares, an
annual event famous throughout this city and state, is a
service planned and carried out primarily for workers and
savers. - i -
Real people, these! Their handwork and their head
work keep the wonderful machinery of the home in smooth
running condition; their savings support banks and stabilize
the prosperity of towns and are likewise a great convenience
to themselves.
To offer them goods or savings that are not equally real
would be worse than folly; yet it's sometimes done, but
Never at Wanamaker's
Since it opened, only three days ago,
this September Housewares Salo has
already served many thousands of
homes and will servo many thousands
more, becauso it is built on a founda
tion of solid USEFULNESS.
Everything that is sold In It,
whether a splendid refrigerator or a
humble paring knifo, is useful, not
merely in its appearance and name,

for things that aro not
wanted, but in its quality.

expecting company from everywhere.

tens of thousanda of jew, fresh
articles and utensils for household
