This is not a Haunting sale, but one of the actual oppor-

great business.
LAT fine, semistorm type listers whose price up until now
was SIS to $40 more-and you take your choice at $40 each.
1t comes as a result of a special purchase we were able to
arrange with a manufacturer who makes most of our coats OF
this kind.
We asked him for something extra good to pass on to our
customers, and the disposal Of these coats at this price is the
result.
We have many clothing customers who would never, under
any circumstances, buy clothing elsewhere than at Wanamakers.
To these steadfast friends we especially recommend this
disposal as an opportunity to get fine, fashionable, new coats at
a low price.
Coats are moderately heavy, very warm, with storm type
collar and lapels and town overcoat length.
They are in neat, dark patterns, 100 per cent an-wool, hand
tailored and guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction.
