that have been spent to race these
yachts in 1914-15 and SO far this
season. Also when one adds on the
storage bills that have been paid to
keep the craft since 1914, toesay moth
ing of the expense that the New York
Yacht Club will have to meet to hold
the race in July with ocean going tugs
worth $500 and $500 day, against
$75 and $l0O few years ago, it is evil
dent that more than $1,000,00O will be
spent by American yachtsmen in the
present defense Of the trophy.
Sir Thomas Upton also will spend
close to 81 ,0OO, 900 in his present effort
to, lift the cup. First, there was the
original cost of the Shamrock w,
which can be set down as 100000.
Then came the trip across the Allan
tic under convoy by the Erin. When
she reached this country, the yacht
also cost a tidy sum. Then came the
rebuilding of the craft, q matter that
probably set the Ifishman back another.
$4,000. .
Now comes the 23-meter Shamrock
to race against the other yacht. In
round figures, it costs at least $3 900 q
day to keep the two yachts IN com,
mission. In addition, Sir Thomas has
a houseboat, steam yacht, q tug, and
a motorboat- all under charter. If it.
will not cost close to a million dollars;
for Sir Thomas to, have another try
for the cup, then some :Iof the best
judges Of yachting are wrong. y
It is safe to say that before the races
are decided, $4,000, ,O0Qeswill be spent
by the challenger and the defender Of
the Americas cup. ~. b

NEW YORK, June 23.-It is an un-

portant events in the world of sports
is an international yacht race for the
Americas cup. There may be world
series in baseball, international polo

cup and other forms of sports but
few of these events create more in

Commodore Morgan paid close to
100000. The club spent good
100000 on the series, making a grand
total of more than 100000 for the
race By that time, the contest had
become a million dollar affair.
In 1903, Sir Thomas built the third
Shamrock. He also brought the first
Shamrock over as a trial boat. That
year, the Irish bafonet had his first
pig armada anchored in American
waters. Besides the racing yachts, he

The people are free of our house ;
we do not presume to direct their pur-

But we see their goings and their

strongest where the solid necessities
of civilized and dignifed living can be
obtained:-
Clothing and clothing materials
for themselves and their families fur
niture and furnishings for their homes
rugs, upholsteries, bedding, linens,
china, housewares and other necessi-
ties. 1t is largely for this serviceable
stuff that they are coming to this house
of service, and for every article pur-
chased they pay one-fifth less than
normal.
Less money and better goods than
many of them had figured on for the
current expenses of living!
They are not buying baubles. They
are as earnest about seeing this great
opportunity as we are about making
it for them, and about wishing to con-
tinue it as long as cooperation of pro-
ducer and consumer makes this pos

No one of them was born to titles or

cultivated their best qualities, and without
putting on airs they created, with simplicity
and good sense, an atmosphere that every one
felt and admired. They were gentle and

pride. Their polish was neither cosmetics nor
raiment.
The distinguishments of ladyhood or

Is there anybody in the whole
country who does not now know what
this great sale means?
Considering it was a duty laid
upon us as patriotic thing to do, the
Founder of these great businesses in
Philadelphia and New York last Mon
day announced that in an endeavor to
bring about a check on the still rising
tide of prices for necessities through
out the country, he would offer the
stocks of both our stores at retail for
limited time at 20 per cent less than
actual selling prices that were already
marked on them.
News went out over all the coun-
try that something big in Philadelphia
was being done to solve the question
of high prices.
1t seemed at first impossible to
believe.
But Argument and Theories We're
Swept Aside by the One
Gripping Fact
The sale was started and the peo-
pie came in and made purchases and
saw the salesmen and saleswomen
marking the deduction of 20 per cent
off of every sales slip.
1t was something real and tan
gible.
1t was 20 cents back on every dol
lar spent, it was $40 back on every $50
spent, it was $100 back on every $500
spent.
And there before their eyes were
the great, Incompatible stocks of the
Wanamaker Stores to choose from
all at 20 per cent deduction with the
inconsiderable exception of about
$4,000 worth of patented and re-
stricted merchandise, the prices of
which we couldnot honorably change).
All Philadelphia knows what the
week has been like.
The people know how the throngs
have swept in day after day in con-
stantly increasing numbers.
They know the excitement of GUS
toners who found themselves able to
buy practically anything they wanted
and save 81 in every $5.
Then came the realization that
this wasn't just sale of things that
usually come into sales at this time of
year-it was not just sale of wearing
apparel, it was not just sale of certain
odd lots of furniture and job lots of

market) are 20 per cent less. Whoever
heard of genuine sale of diamonds
before?
Some People Said, "You VIII Sell
nut AH Your Goods at This Rate
ana There VIII Be Nothing
Left for Us"
And, indeed, we would sell out all
our goods at this rate, and there would
be little or nothing left were it not for
the fact that we have the greatest
inflow of goods of any store in the
world.
1t would not take very many days
Tor such business as we are doing now
to sell us out if we were not bringing
new things in.
But have no fear of that. Wehave
plenty of goods we are getting more
goods, we are getting goods faster
than we ever got them before in our
history.
And they are beautiful new goods,
coming in by hundreds and thousands
of dollars worth, and going into the
stocks with the lowest regular prices
marked on them for the people to
choose from at once, and with 20 per
cent to be taken off the sales slips.
We Are Doing a Big Thing, a
Great Thing, and We KnoW 1t Is
Big Responsibility
There is only one establishment in
the world, we suppose, where such an
unprecedented step could originate,
and that is the one which is as much
great institution as it is a great store,
and which accepts and indeed antici-
pates the responsibilities of the posi-
tion.
Those who have never been lead
ers and who never will refuse to
understand it.
But the overwhelming majority
see straight and appreciate the help
that is being given to the people, in
taking one-fifth off the cost of good,
needed merchandise.
That they needed such help it is
mere shuffling to deny.
