WANAMAKERIS

The Esprit of this Store
is unique. Our friends,
the public, take us into
confidence in a very cor
dial fashion.
They tell of our faults,
Faithful are the wounds
of a friend" and for Moth
ing are we more grateful,
They also approve the
good things that are done
here. Approval creates a
sense Of responsibility
not vanity. But they buy
our goods with avidity and
that sort of testimony is
conclusive.
Elsewhere we announce the
advent of the Wanamaker
History Club. Our recent
methods Of forming clubs for
the distribution of important
books that should have a place
in every home library have
been eminently useful and sue
cessful.
In Philadelphia the Century
Dictionary Club, and later both
in New York and Philadelphia
the Standard American Cyclic
pedia Clubs were great illus
trations of the power of our
organization to bring books
and readers together.

Our assertions about our
Dress Goods stock provoke
criticism-quite naturally.
And Dress Goods experts
come to criticise, many to
scott, but all remain to praise.
We know how cheap il is to
print that sort of testimony
anybody can initiate it. But
it's true, nevertheless.
No woman can be indiffer-
emf to such a collection of Dress
Stuffs as we have assembled
here. Our buying organization
encircled the globe in quest
of the richest and best Dress
Fabrics.
We planned to have a show
of Dress Goods that would
make the leadership of this
Dress Goods Store so apparent
that it could not, in fairness,
be questioned. The exhibition
is now at its best. We are
willing to leave the judgment
to you.
