Mr. Asquith, of Londen,
Cleverly Described
Benar Law, an English statesman, as the ether half
of the Premier Lloyd Geerge's pair of shears.
These two Stores in New Yerk and Philadelphia
work together all the time like a pair of shears in the
hands of our Londen and Paris buying offices, where
Mr. Redman Wanamaker spends three or four months
of the year with our buyers of each Stere, guiding the
selecting of the newest goods and the choicest of
fashions as they appear, which are then forwarded te
New Yerk and Philadelphia.
These two Stores are net just like ether stores.

Getting Beethoven's
Message
Beethoven was stone deaf in the latter years of his life.
He sat at the keys crashing out harmonies he could
net hear.
By his inner ear and his divine gift he composed music
considered te be unequaled.
The secret of Beethoven's wonderful music is net
a , i r- -u
Z"r'J t" w WWt IWUlllLJUC,
It is the powerful feeling expressed in these symphonies
'and sonatas and songs without words. The strong emotions
of a great soul poured themselves forth in his compositions,
land communicate themselves again te the listener when

It is possible te miss the magnifice"hcecf Beethoven
altogether in peer piano-playing.

I The Glory of the
1 Ampice
i.
is that it gives you the music of such great masters with net
merely technical perfection, but with that eloquent expres
' sien and meaning which is the true message of all great
music. Practically every classic composition recorded for
the Ampice lias been played for it by one or another of the
world's most notable pianists men and women who, by
nature's gift, share the emotions and can feelingly interpret
the music of Beethoven and his kind.
The Ampice gives you again this music exactly as it
was played, with every delicate shade of expression, every
' emphasis of meaning perfectly and wonderfully reproduced.
In this faithful recording of the soul as well as the form
of great music, the Ampice stands alone.

TN keeping with the Summer Saturday all-day holiday
- plan originated by this business
THE WANAMAKER STORE WILL
$E CLOSED ALL DAY TOMORROW
A Coel Day in the
Wanamaker Stere
is possible when there is
no ether cool spot in town
Thousands of people come in from the country te
Wanamaker's in Summer.
A refrigerated breeze strikes you the minute you step
from Market or Chestnut Street inside the great doers, and
leek en into the cool, shaded vista of the marble court.
The wide spaces, great heights and beautiful propor
tions rest your senses.
Very likely the big organ is playing. If you have been
in some of the vast marble cathedrals of Europe, you get
something of the same feeling new as you enter this great
marble "cathedral of commerce" at organ-playing time.
Whatever the throngs there is no jostling or crowding.
There is space for everybody, air for everybody, comfort
for everybody, pleasure for everybody, and service for these
who wish te buy.
Summer or Winter, the Wanamaker Stere is something
mere than a place te buy and sell.
It is a building of beauty, erected for the public's serv
ice, where they can find, at reasonable cost, the goods they
need, enjoy looking at the goods they don't need, meet their
friends, enjoy the music, lunch in the lefty Tea Roem, and
spend agreeably as much time as they like.
In the Boek Stere many a volume tempts te pleasant
Summer reading.
In Egyptian Hall and the surrounding Piane Salens
there is always the sound of music.
Nowhere else in town is there such a place te hear new
records as in the Phonograph Salens.
In the Women's and Yeung Women's Salens of Dress
there is always something new te be seen. Shopping is
delightful there, and rich in economies in this midsummer
season.
In the Londen Sheps for men and women, the Sporting
Goods Stere, the great Tey Stere, the Jewelry Stere, the
immense Heuse furnishings Stere, the gleaming arrays of
crystal and ceramics in the China Stere, the Antique Reems,
the palatial rooms of The Little Heuse, the Picture Salens,
the jewel-colored Oriental Rug Stere, and the three great
floors of beautiful Furniture in these alone, net te speak
of ether sections of the Stere, a full day might be pleasantly
used. "
Please make yourselves at home in every part and
particular.
A guide starts from the Rendezvous (en the Eighth
Fleer) at stated intervals for the trip through the building.
But many people prefer te seek out the points of interest for
themselves.
. The Information Bureau is en the Main Fleer.
A parcel-checking room is en the Gallery above the
Main Fleer.
Waiting-rooms and writing-rooms are en the Juniper
Street Gallery above the Main Fleer, and en the Eighth
Fleer.
A children's playground is en the Seventh Fleer.
Radie outfits and information are also en the Seventh
Fleer.
What mere there is would fill several mere pages.
There is certainly no ether store anywhere se cool, com
fortable and pleasant te shop in and sightsee in as

Oh, yes, we knew
all that talk about
The Call of the Wild
about the singing sap in the veins of picturesque young
pagans, and of strong men thirsting te cast off the shackles
of civilization.
But hew much of that stuff de you suppose is written
in upholstered easy-chairs in quiet studies in respectable
suburban homes, by men and women who are very partic
ular about turning up in dining-rooms for three appointed
meals daily, and most of whom would jump at the chance
te use some of the money earned from writing it in refur
nishing the whole blessed house from front hall te the spare
room in the gable, with
New Furniture at Wanamaker
August Sale Prices
Going out yourself, te the movie or the dance, every
night, te see who's spending old-fashioned evenings at home,
is the poorest way known te find out.
Happy Hemes Make Ne
Neise in the World
They de make its graciousness and its light, which is a
far different thing, and a thing in which furniture of grace,
beauty and sturdy service bears no unimportant part.
Felks must, of course, sit, sleep, write, eat and keep their
clothes somewhere and somehow. ',. IV,
They could de it in packing boxes
They could makeshift with what is worse than packing
boxes since it lasts a little longer the inferior, "jerry-built"
cheap furniture that ultimately costs se high.
But the vast majority of them show their preference for
furniture of Wanamaker selection and Wanamaker
qualities.
These 40,000 pieces of excellent furniture, in widest
assortment of styles, thousands of them brand new, that we,
net especially notorious for business short-sight, brought
here in expectancy of reselling, are forty thousand testi
monies te our well-founded faith in the tenacious domes
ticity that lies at the sound core of American social life.
The People Have Made the
Sale an Amazing Success
The people enter the doers of the Stere thinking of fur
niture the geed furniture that they want and they ream
at their happy will from fleer te fleer, from group te group,
from splendor te splendor.
And they usually go out of the Stere doers still thinking,
a bit excitedly, perhaps, of furniture, the geed furniture that
they wanted and that they HAVE FOUND here, finding
with it a saving in price that they never dreamed of, even
from reading Wanamaker advertisements, that are never of
the horn-blowing kind.
If Americans did net cherish their homes fondly, build
them carefully and substantially, furnish them lovingly with
every object of beauty and convenience their means can
reach te, this Wanamaker original plan el a great Sale held
in midsummer, assembling vast stocks of furnuuie at prices
underselling the regular market, would never have taken
place, or would never have grown into the mighty yearly
institution it is, would never have inspired new standards in
cabinet-making and would never have been imitated in prac
tically every sizable city, with a painstaking worthy of a
higher success !
