TEMPLE OF
SETI |. IN EGYPT
University of Pennsylvania
EXcavatOrS Make Valuable
Discovery at Memphis.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. THE discovery
Of a great temple at Memphis, in Egypt,
belonging to approximately the period OF
Rtmeses H., Is announced by the Univer-
sity Museum as a result OF the spring
and summer explorations OF the Eckley
h. Cox. Jr. Egyptian expedition under
the leadership of DR.. Fisher. curator
OF the Egyptian section of the University
Museum.
the find Is considered OF the frst i'm
portance and Is hoped to be only the
beginning OF developments in Memphis,
which was one of the great cities of the
world In the time OF Rameses H., more
than 5000 years ago., and which is
known to have been of great importance
5000 years ago. The temple was sllted
over by mud from the Nile and covered
with san blown from the desert So
that nothing remains OF the glories which
were so prominent in the days OF
Herodotus and lasted until long after
the Roman era.
The temple originally must have been
one Of the glories OF Egypt. In spite ~
the wrack OF time. OF sieges and other
works OF destruction, enough survives
to show that II was "A magnificent
building, This temple In all it's gor-
geousness was described by Herodotus,
A large inscription indicates that 1t may
possible be the temple OF Seti l., al
though at first 1t was supposed to have
been erected by Menephtah, son Of
Itameses ii.
Some 1000 specimens were recovered,
some of them OF great archaeological i'm
p%ortance. The finds include scarabs.
amulets, gold and silver rings and other
objects Of these precious metals, many
ushabtis, and especially many moulds
for making these ushabtis, necklaces

Now we have a few words
to say about the Wanamaker
Store and the Wanamaker
August Sale of Furniture.

The Wanamaker Store originated the Au-
gust Sale of Furniture. There is a certain dis
tinction in this-in being original in point of
time. But there is a greater distinction in being
original in character.
to know that the Wanamaker August Sale is
still FIRST today as it was when the store origi-
mated the sale some twenty years ago-6rst in
character, first in reliability, first in volume, first
in variety, first in quality, first in values. first in
lasting satisfaction.
First in New York and in Philadel.
phia (where our two stores are 10.
cated), first in the United States and
first in the world. There is no other
August Sale of Furniture to compare
with the Wanamaker Sale.
