How Do Things Look to You,
MIR. Wanamaker?
Is the Frequent Question

these days, since the Store remained closed that
Monday morning when the peace star arose and
we we're too happy to do anything but to take
a day off to celebrate.
Well-we have been celebrating ever since,
and justly SO, and our boys are coming home
bless them-and never cease to bless them!
Now that our President has started off
strong in his own judgment to hasten, to the
best of his ability, the terms of peace assured
by the armistice signed, and the surrenders Of
our enemies which have followed, let us cease to
discuss the wisdom Of his going away from the
United States and only judge him by his acts
henceforth.
As the President Of the United States. we
must stand by him and not impair his standing
while he is cOnscientiously doing what he be-
lieves to be the best for our great nation
This is no time for small politics.
Let us faithfully take care of our own home
work, and give President Wilson the chance to
bring to proper conclusions what his brain and
hand have planned.
Let us have peace at home and stop wrang
ling.

a matter Of fact not one
bowl or vase in the collection
can be exactly duplicated?
Not even the man who made
it can make an exact repro

emerge exactly alike in glaze
