PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. 8. 1897.


Prehistoric races produced pot
terry. The Egyptians even learned
the use of tin in making an opaque
enamel, two centuries before the
Assyrians had learned the use Of
lead in the manufacture. Almost
forty feet of alluvial deposit along
the Nile covered bits of pottery that
an English engineer secured and
presented to the British Museum.
The Persians practiced the art.
So did the Arabs and Saracens.
Then Europe got the secret-and
lost it. In the Fifteenth century
Luca della Robbia rediscovered it.
Bernard Palsy, born in the pro-
vince of Perigord, France, 1910,
was the father of enameled pottery
in France-not the applier of other
mems wit, but the laborious evolver
of a science. Sixteen years. labor
was spent in the eyolution-years
of privation and sacrifice. Aye,
more, for the spirit of the inventor
quenched the spirit of the man. His
children died from lack of comforts;
his wife pleaded in vain.
The man was mad.
The kilns needed fuel fuel,
fuel. Empty purse, the upbraid-
ings of his wife, the contempt of
neighbors, were all unheeded. He
would succeed. Furniture was
broken and burned, and the story
teller paints his climax by the glow
FRONT the last stick. The fire dies, the
kiln cools. Palsy, with trembling
hands, withdraws the few pieces.
JOY! The enamel had fused! Sue
cess was his-vessels of intermixed
colors after the manner of Jasper
were the fruits of his labor-and
the art of making them was his.
Not mailman now. Success yelled
the past; Catharine de Medici pat
ronized him. His defamers were
now his champions. The world had
gained, as it often has gained,
through sacrifice. There was a
row of tiny graves.
Palsy espoused the cause of the
Reformation, and in 1888, for the
second time, suffered for the faith he
would not recant, and went to the
Bastile. Death saved him from the
execution to which he was sem
fenced.
This is not the story of ceramics,
but merely anincident to showhow,
in the centuries past, as now, the
human family has counted pottery
as worthy of something akin to
love.
Pottery making-and now we
narrow the word to cover merely
the CHINA AND PORCELAIN of
daily use-has benefited by the ap-
plication of improved mechanical
aids, and the one-time tedious pro-
cess of producing tableware has
been simplified until the capacity of
a single factory in Limoges, France,
is eleven thousand plates in a day.
Another Limoges factory has in
creased its daily capacity by half
even since 1892.
All this means something to the
user of china-that something a
material saving in costs that has not
until now been shared to the full
with you.
The evolution of the WANA-
MAKER CHINA STORE brings you the
advantage of fair commercial prices
for tableware of all degrees of dain-
tiness and beauty. These prices are
low by comparison with those asked
in other stores. They are possible
because we gather the goods direct
from the worlds standard makers
gather without useless expense
and we depend on the volume of
business for the outcome.
The stocks are great +; varied;
yes, best.
JOHN WANAMAKER.
