DEFORE leaving I h e
ID motor (as a subject of
discussion) it may be men
toned that to many own
ers of cars, the cold snaps
have disclosed the need of
an additional warm rug or
robe, and that the selection
of such robes to be found
on the Gallery (Chestnut)
is varied enough to suit
and satisfy almost anyone
looking about among them.
If the cars a closed one,
fine, richly-colored robes, to
match or harmonic with
the upholstery, will be
wanted. If it is an open
car the need is for a great,
warm, heavy robe, one
made of fur, beaver plush
or other pushes, or mohalr
plush with rubber interim
ing and wool.
We have b 1t h types.
Prices range from So 80 for
a wooden robe to y 0 for
a fur robe.
EROM, riding warm to
Il sleeping warm is just
about the distance of one
thought. OF c%lrse that
thought is BLANKETS.
We know that our Store
is famous for its fine blan-
kets; for their quality and
for their wear. Why should
we look bashful and say
"Oh, do you think so?" to
those who praise them,
when we KNOW so?
About a great many
things in life (these soft,
warm. fieecy Wanamaker
blankets prominent among
them), it's much better to
display the sturdy candor
of the famous Old Man of
the Nile, in Edward Lear's
Nonsense Book
"TVho had a benevolent smile.
When they said, IS mile
oSoin!"
He replied, "T'm not vGin,
Bat I think I DO knotC hOiO to
SmileP"
We do know how to get
the best blankets in the
market for our customers,
and in greater numbers,
even now, than those con-
versant with the present
scarcity of this most i'm
portant kind of merchan-
disc would believe possible.
Many a Christmas pres
ent this year took the form
of a pair of Wanamaker
blankets, and we may add
that many a January bride
would warmly appreciate a
pair of them as a wedding
gift.
In ones own home, it
never pays to run close

Since there are always
nights when on the best of

quilts, it may be mentioned
that the best of quilts are
here, too.
By best, we refer not
merely to their exteriors.

These cosy things are of
