Philadelphia. Monday, Dec. Is. 1899.
The jewelry-store is only a.
little over two years old, and
it did more business last week
than any other in the city,
This didn't come about in
two years. It began way back,
years and years ago, before
the jewelry-store was born or
thought of.
We sold you clothing or
dress goods and told you the
truth about them. If anything
was 'off," we told you SO. If
anything didn't suit you, you
came back and got your
money. You got into the way
of taking our word about
things without applying the
usual advertising discount.
When we started a little
jewelry-shop on the Juniper
street side, we told you what
kind of place it was, and
what we had there. Again,
you took US at our word, and
came and bought-just about
as much as the store deserved.
Then, when we had every
thing ready-the right time,
place, goods, and man-we
told you that we had finally
got the best jewelry-store in
Philadelphia, where jewelry
standards, but drygoods prices,
would prevail. You came and
found it so. 1t was a success
from the start. :
That is the history of the
Wanamaker 1eaOelyy-st0ye and
of the whole establishment: a
plain understanding between
you and us, that began thirty
years ago.
Let's get to the jeweIry.
Well just name a few things
and prices.
A mans watch is (for silver
$5.75 to $50; Gor gold) $22
to $3.50. And the best watch
for the money is the Wana-
maker Special $50.
A woman's watch-silver
$3.50 or more; gold $I6 or
more.

A shadow came over the Christmas fes-

mourn today, that gladdest day Of all the
year was not so merry as we had hoped.
There was cry in onr Learts, 20, for
touch of vanished hand. A sound Of y
voice that's still',
We only heard the echo Of our cry. May
we not let Frances Ridly Havergail express
our feelings in her beautiful words.
20, Christmas, merry Christmas,
Is 1t really come again?
with its memories and greetings,
With its joy and with Its pain3
There's minor In the carol,
And shadow in the light,
And spray Of cypress twining.
With the holly wreath tonight,
And the hush Is never broken
By laughter light and low,
As we listen In the starlight
To the "bells across the snow"
20 Christmas, merry Christmas,
Tis not SO very long
Since other voices blended
With the carol and the song.
1--we could hear them singing
As they are singing now,
live could but zee the radianca
OF the crown on each dear brow,
There would be no sigh to smother,
No hidden tear to flow,

1t has been commonly understood
that there was a law enacted by the
last Legislature against the sale OF
woodcock, but it seems that this is a
mistake When J. Z. Fuller hung ou,
d brace Of them, last Saturday after
noon, he and his clerks had their time
taken up in explaining that it was per-
fectly lawful, for many people asked
why they displayed them. The law
reads that "ruffled grouse, commonly
known as partridges" are what the
prohibition is on, and woodcock are
not mentioned.
