three cross sections by two
fire walls running from
Thirteenth Street through
to Juniper Street. These
three sections are known
as Market" Central
and Chestnut" Openings
at three points through
each wall, on each floor,
are provided with double
fire doors, which close
automatically in case of
fire. In these walls are
spacious fire towers--two
on Thirteenth Street and
two on Juniper-extend-
ing the height Of the build
ing and each containing
two stairways; these are
always lighted and open,
and are accessible instant
ly from any part of the
Store.
Elevators - Fifty pas
senger elevators, located
in double banks in the fire
walls, and sixteen freight
elevators. All are of the
"plunger" type, direct hy-
draulic; which means that
the plunger piston travels
up and down through a
hole drilled through the
solid rock directly under
the elevator to a depth
corresponding with the
height that the elevator
travels. The plunger in
each instance rests upon a
cushion Of water which, in
it's descent, it displaces,
and hence cannot fall. Be-
sides these there are ten
electric dumb walters,

From two to three thousand visitors eat
luncheon daily in the Great Crystal Tea Room of
the Wanamaker Store and its adjoining rooms
more than lunch at any four of the largest hotels.
1 This is the largest dining room in Philade-
pha, and one of the largest in the world, covering
as it does floor area Of $4,000 square feet and
seating easily 1400 diners at time
1t derives it's name from its remarkable
lighting effects, received from the rows of beau
Suful crystal rejecting chandeliers suspended
IRON the ceiling between the great columns.

The cool marble floors,
the lofty ceilings, great
windows, and. above all,
the ever-fresh, pure air
make it a "different' kind

People tell us they can
shop here for hours with
no sense of atigue,
whereas a very short time
in most other stores eX-

Have You Seen These $4,000

Hurried away from de-
struction in the French
Revolution - hanging in
an old chateau in Nor
mandy for more than a
century - shown now in
the Wanamaker Store
this is a history in brief of
the five remarkable old
tapestries that fill the
walls of the Gobelin Salon
on the Fifth Floor.
They were woven after
the cartoons of the cele-
brated artist, Dubreuil, in
one of those interesting
old Paris ateliers, after
ward merged by Louis
XIV into the Gobelin tap
estry works.

The air IN this store is
the next thing to outdoors.
On the lower floors it is
completely changed every
six minutes. The stale air
is removed by suction as
the fresh air comes in. 1t
is not only fresh air, but
washed air. 1t is passed
through an air-wash that
cleanses it of all dust and
impurities.

chutes, from the top of the
Store to the sub-basement
all Of these for the
quicker handling Of mer-

Power and light for the
Store - These are fur
nished from the outside,
by means Of the gigantic,
Wanamaker power plant
on Ludlow Street, near by.
Installed in this plant are:
Eight 600 horsepower
high.pressure water-tube
boilers.
Three 500 horsepower
vertical compound steam
engines.
Two 1900 horsepower
vertical compound steam
engines.
Four high-duty pumps,
equal to a capacity of 5000
gallons per minute, for the
elevator service; the house
service pumps are in addi-
ton.
A refrigerating plant
consisting of two 75-ton
ice machines and other
paraphernalia necessary
to a high-class refrigerat-
ing plant, furnishes cold
air for the kitchen and the
fur storage vault. For the
fur storage alone the ice
machine produces, in cold,
the equivalent of one hum
dred and fifty tons of ice
daily, to keep the tempera-
ture of the vault at the de-
sired point.
The electric plant has a
capacity Of 1850 kilowatts,
or 27,700 amperes, Of cur
rent-the equivalent of
$500 arc lights, or more
than $4,000 incandescent
lamps of l8 candle-power.
The plant is easily capable
of developing 25 per cent
more than these figures.

NIOLOVER of books can afford to
~ pass through Wanamakers with
out giving. himself a taste of that
charm which a really good bookstore
always possesses - the true bookish
charm that characterizes the one built
up here. A many-sided store this; for
with all it's wide range of beautiful,
luxurious and rare books-the biblio-
maniac's delight-it is also indisput-
ably a popular bookstore, having
literature for every taste, from the
latest novel to the rarest works of old
authors and printers.
Here many men of many minds"
rub elbows, hunt their old favorites and
find new. Those interested in foreign
publications will find them on the
tables in this bookstore almost as soon
as they are published abroad, and all
magazines are ready on publication
day.

the lofty ceilings and
great windows of the up

air-shaft in the center of
the building, give the
shopper at Wanamaker's
an atmosphere that is ex-
hilarating rather than
eXhausting.
AS summer comes on,
the GOODNESS and freshness
of the air in this great
building is even more ap-
