I A Few Years Age When Lest
jjy a friend's misdirection, the writer stepped
many times te take a standstill and watch the
course of the sun.
It is often wisest te step short and see just
where "we are at," as some one once said.
Just te drive ahead, net knowing where we
will come out, is a species of senility no matter
hew young or old we arc.

Radie Inquiries
By Hundreds
Our radio program last
Thursday evening brought
mere than 200 telephone
congratulations, and letters
and cards are still pouring
in by hundreds from all
ever the eastern part of
the 'country.
And at the same time
there is a smart renewal
of inquiries for radio ap
paratus. People who have had
their' sympathies turned
against radio broadcasting
because of their distaste
for the familiar bawling
radio megaphones and
ether crude loud speakers
in clubs and drug stores
are finding out that the
real thing is something al
together different.
Since the installation of
our great new machine,
Wanamaker concerts, inter
spersed with speeches of
important people, are clear
ly and delightfully heard
in tens of thousands of
homes without the use of
loud speakers.
Very simple and inex
pensive apparatus will
serve. With a crystal set
costing only $15 you can
hear the Wanamaker sta
tion, and even the weaker
Philadelphia stations, if
you are within twelve or
fifteen miles.
If you wish te listen also
te the Newark, New Yerk,
Schenectadv. Pittshurch
and Chicago stations, you-v
win need a set costing from
$75 te $300 complete.
A most admirable outfit,
practical for great dis
tances and simple te op
erate, is the Westinghouse
R. C. set, costing, without
equipment, $132. Complete
with batteries, tubes and
extra phones, by the time it
is installed in your home, it
will cost about $200.
Wouldn't you like te have
a set in your home in time
te enjoy the Wanamaker
Grand Organ concerts,
which will seen be ar
ranged ?
We will attend te every
thing for you.

'"fHE greatest asset of the Wanamaker Furniture
Sale is the actual fact of superior quality
in the goods.
As applied te Wanamaker furniture the word quality means a
great deal.
It stands for satisfaction as well as service.
It means furniture that will please the eye as surely as it will
prove dependable in service.
Seme furniture has the service quality, but nothing else.
Other furniture has the eye-pleasing quality and no mere.'
Our business is te secure for our customers the furniture that
has both.
They are leaving no room for doubt as te hew well we have suc
ceeded in securing it for this Sale. ;
Frem the way they are buying, it is clear that the furniture in
the sale holds every element of desirableness both in leeks and in
basic quality.
Just think of a sale of several acres mad'e up exclusively of fur
niture of that kind, every piece of it marked at a reliable reduction!
A sale in which furniture of the most desirable kind in leeks
and the most trustworthy in make-up 'is shown in quantities and vari
eties unheard-of outside the Wanamaker Stores!
In writing this it is geed te knew that the proof of it is all
around us here, in suits and single pieces for all rooms; in a collection
of low-priced living-room, dining-room and bedroom suits sincerely
believed te be unequaled anywhere in variety and value; in the splen
did collection of fine suits and rare and novel pieces that recall the
great days of artistic cabinet-work; in everything that can make a sale
a thing of real service te the homes of the people.
