WANAMAKER'S
Store Opens at 8
TOM MADE UPHOLSTERED FUTHE BEST THE WORLD BY ACTUAL TESTS SUPER

MUCH OF the upholstered furniture we sell
A'A is made in our own workrooms by our
own people.
We have given this class of furniture
great deal of study. We brought some of the
finest overstuffed pieces from Europe, particu-
larly from England, and when we ripped them
open we found them as excellent as they are
reputed to be- but not as good as the pieces we
ourselves made.
This overstuffed furniture of ours is of the
custom-made type, as distinct from the fac
tory-made kind.
Everything that goes into it is Of the best
kind-webbing, springs, twine and filings
The only filings Weuse are clean, curled hair
and down-no tow, moss or trash; and the
workmanship is careful to extremes.
We can sell this custom-made furniture
for great deal less than we would have to
charge for the same class of goods if we had
to buy them from somebody else.
In other words no furniture that would
come anywhere near it in quality could be sold
for so little. A saving of even 10 per cent on
this furniture means more than an apparent
saving of twice as much on the kind that is not
nearly as good.

SODA WATER TAXES
What Is and What Is Not Taxable Is
Explained BY Collector.

So much confusion has resulted over
the new taxes on soda fountain beyer-
ages and ice cream, etc, that the follow
ing explanation from Seth W. Jones,
collector Of internal revenue for the
Portsmouth, N H., district, is given;
Rate of Tax The tax is measured
by the price for which the food or drink
il sold 1t is on the actual sales price
at the rate of one cent for each ten cents
or fraction thereof OF the amount paid
for any of the articles mentioned in sec
tion $50. Each sale for ten cents or less
is taxed one cent, and each sale for over
ten cents is taxed one cent for each ten
cents or fraction thereof of the price.
The tax is upon the whole Of the amount
Of the price paid by the purchaser when
the price is paid at one time, though in
payment for several articles which are
The subject of single transaction of
purchase and sale the total price paid
is the unit for computing the tax. Thus,
if the purchaser orders two sodss at the
same time, each sold for Is cents, the
tax Is three cents and not four cents.
If, however, he buys one soda for Is

the act.
