Tomorrow the Children's Day With
the Worlds Greatest Toy Store
in Full Swing

Of particular interest to Young America
at this very moment is the extraordinary
advance that has been made by this nation in
the matter Of toy oduction-formerly the
whole gigantic industry lay almost exclusively
abroad.
Here, there and everywhere in the Toy
Store you will see what we might for want of
better name call action toys.

Witness-the clock-winding toys-trains

trio trains-the marvellous construction toys
that are educating young engineers by thou
sands. The quaint, ingenious wooden toys in
thousand forms-educative toys that teach
chemistry, telegraphy, wireless, electric con-
s1ruction, automobile construction. The games
the wheel toys and the constructive TOYS of
every description.
Tomorrow is Saturday and not school
day, but bright young Philadelphia boys will
learn more in half hour in the Wanamaker
Toy Store from these clever toys than they do
in many of the days they are at school.
Things have changed in the past few years.

Places 1t Is
Plentiful Here
New lots are coming in all
the time-practically every
day. We understand that
this is a most remarkable
thing just now.
At least it is something to
be taken note of by every
one who needs new furni-
ture, whether it be new din
ing-room furniture to make
the Thanksgiving celebra-
tion more elaborate or new
pieces to- give the living
room a more impressive
tone, or a new suit to make
a bedroom more charming.
in any case you will find
these stocks adequate in Sc
lection.
More than eighty-hve dim
ing-room suits are shown on
the Sixth Floor, no two of
them alike, and with one to
eight of a kind behind them.
These suits are priced at
$3.50 to $23S0 and embrace
all the standard period de-
signs.
At least $50 different bed
roomroom suits are shown
on the same floor at S155 to
$3000-and back of them
one to ten of a kind.
The collection of living
room, library and occasional
furniture on the Fifth Floor
is known to be unique in
this country if not in the
world. 1t expresses luxury
and elegance. 1t is rich in
the more graceful old types
chiefly reproductions of
rare heirloom pieces.
1t is practical in the
splendid assortment of serv-
iceable good-looking things
shown, notably chairs and
rockers upholstered and
otherwise.
1t seems to be generally
understood that by far the
finest selection of furniture
of all desirable kinds is al
ways to be found here. 1t is
important to keep that fact
in mind more than ever
just now when there is such
a real and general scarcity
IN so many places.
