WOMEN'S WRAPS

There is just one best col
lection Of Women's Cloth,

Philadelphia-and that is at
Wanamaker's.
Why? Because being un-
hamPered by manufacturing,
our buyers have for years
traversed the world to estab-
llsh supply points and to keep
us in closest touch with Paris,
Berlin and London.
And the business has grown
under such care until it is un-
rlValed in America. That
helps us to give you best
prices on regular goods. And
1t makes Wanamaker's the
one output available for lots
that would otherwise demor-
allze the markets. Such gath
