The Edgar Langley Lost.

The schooner Edgar Langley, Capt.
David Press, of Salem, was lost off
Stony Point during the blow on We'd
nesday 30. The vessel lay at anchor
close to the shore when the wind began
to blow. The anchor commenced to
drag and the captain seeing the danger
of going ashore threw over the large an

allowing the vessel to go to obstruction.

another boat at once and strip the old
one. The Langley was built at the
foot of Broadway Salem by Samuel

"Oh, your $3.50 suits are leaders
you don't make money on such

But the $40 suits are well worth
a dollar and a half more, and the
$12 suits are still two dollars worth
better.
He was right--the So. so suits are
leaders" so are the $40, $12,
SIS and $40 suits-'tleaders," that
for quality of fabric and workman
ship, for good looks and stylishness,
are not matched in any clothing
store we know of. You must not
look in this store for ''all-wool suits
at five dollars" for ''all-wool" in
this store means a fabric in which
the acid cannot find a trace of cot
ton. And clothing from this store
must be up to the John Wanamaker
standard, which admits nothing
"cheapish" in fabric or tailoring.
John Wanamaker clothing is not
made "just to sell''-it must give
the satisfying service that brings the
purchaser back to US season after
season.
Of the new suits, these hints
At $8. 50-Suits of black cheviot or fancy
cassimeres, in dark or light colors and

new trousers widths; and in the coats,
hand-felled collars and lapels,
At $l5-Cutaway Suits Of black unfinish-
ed worsteds; coat lined with silk; vest
and trousers to match; or you may
choose handsome light-colored trousers
a if you prefer them-and price is the
same.
At $20-Suits of worsteds and cassimeres
from Americas best mills, or of i'm
ported fabrics; silk, part silk and fine
sstins in the makeup; some coats lined;
I some half-lined. The shapes are varied

A New Store
For Wicker
Chairs

OF the business
NnairS coming to us
the business of supplying Wicker
Chairs and the various Porch and
Lawn Seats.
And the business has grown
through our cart in keeping goods
out of the stock. Any one could
buy safely here, because we showed
only safe kinds.
The canes used in the wicker fur
niture here come from India. There
is a China reed-not good enough,
according to our notion, while there
is selection as well in that from
India. The care we give the bust
ness counts for you in right prices
when you buy, and durability when
the goods 60 into use.
More room! The cry is heard,
and today we open the wicker and
porch chair store, on FOURTH
FLOOR, THIRTEENTH STREET
SIDE.
Rockers are 81 to Sill; chairs are
SO to So, and sofas SIS to $18.
These prices on two hundred and
fifty sample pieces produced as
models for the seasons work. We
never urge people to buy, but you'll
thank us for the hint, that to save a
fourth to a third from regular fair
prices, it is necessary to choose from
this lot of wicker ware during the
day or two it holds out.
Women's Rockers, roll arms and
