The D0ilgS Of Midsummer Days
WANAMAKER'S.

Our novel ways of retailing
forbid suspended animation
during the Midsummer days.
Merchants generally stay in
the old ruts. Comatose con-
ditions are the accepted rule
when the National Holiday is
over. But inaction at this
period of this year is un-
reasonable. A careful observer
can see special reasons for July
activity and this year those
reasons are 0eaY special.
The case may be briefly put.
There are too many goods of
some sorts in the market
When that is the case, no mat
ter who holds them, an outlet
is sought. The greatest of all
outlets, the very Niagara of
trade, is this store to which
consumers of SO many kinds
of goods come by thousands
for the special offerings SO
regularly made.
We control a quantity of
this excess of merchandise
which we propose to market
by making prices that will
command quick sales. Details
