The United States Mint, of which our city is proud, after next Monday will stamp 1922 en its coins. Would that it were possible te turn the course of the Delaware River into our businesses and homes te cleanse them free of faults and follies, te begin a new life worthy of our historical birthright, inherited from Geerge Washington, Themas Jeffersen, Benjamin Franklin and their associates! Our city needs a new and larger heart of civic pride and a creating hand and an outlook of vision, pride and purpose. This city is like a store or like the great mills of Jehn and James Dobsen and the Bremleys in Kensington, each of which is net only the offspring of its founders, but is exactly what its workers have made it. The writer trusts he will be forgiven if it be a fault te refer here te the enterprise and zeal of our city in 1871, when the population was (1870 count) 674,022, and it undertook te celebrate the Centennial and gathered the world in Fairmount Park, where the Memerial Hall and Horticultural Hall remain as permanent exhibits of the public spirit, pride and enterprise of its citizenship of that time. New with a population of 1,934,000 (1920 figures), which in 1926 will be probably 2,250,000, we have become stalled in a rut with no one te help the Maj'er pull us out.

"Hurrah!" cries the exultant daughter of the house, laying down the tiny handkerchief with which she has been making furtive dabs at her eyes.

A fur sale is net in itself a peculiar Wanamaker institu tion. All retailers prefer net te carry ever Winter stocks into the next season. Therefore, it is no wonderful thing that you can get a price concession en a nice-looking fur piece or coat toward the end of the Winter, when the first crocus appears- likewise, maybe, the first moth. But the Wanamaker Annual Sale of Furs "is held at the date of greatest service te the cus cus eomer: sharp en the minute of the arrival of the New Year, which usually introduces the first real Wintry weather, when warm, fluffy furs become no longer a charming ornament, but a vital feature of one's pro tective clothing.

January 3d, with a Fur Sale embracing our entire stock of furs, every piece priced 25 per cent less than the price it bears today, December 31st. With fur prices ascending as they have been doing, this is an important occasion for all who value economy. Figure It Out Today you may be in the Stere, looking at a handsome fur coat whose price is ?400. Next Tuesday it will be as handsome as ever, but, if still here, it will be $100 less. We call these stocks full be cause they are full.
