Can Reduce Waste.

we can. however. reduce the waste l of this readjustment period. We car have very much better times than we | have now, We can do this If we in crease the production of every per 1 son. I do not refer to mass produc- ton. It would help nothing to dou- ble your output by doubling your la bor force This simply runs up ex- pense pushes up prices and creates more goods than you can sell. If, | however, you can double your own in | dividual output and the output Of each of your employees, the readjust- ment problem for your particular plant will be solved.
 Get this fact clearly in mind. There is no such thing as a general oversupply of goods All of the pres ent talk aboIt overproduction is fall lacy. Both here and abroad there are millions now in great need Of goods. There never will be a general oversupply of goods until everyone has more than he can use prof1tablE
 What we do see is a larger supply of goods than the consumers can buy--f1rst, because the price is too high. second, because the consumer himself has not produced enough to earn the right to buy your goods, The second cause you yourself can do very little to remedy. except as you can influence the people with whom you come in contact The first cause. however,-namely the price of your goods-you alone can change, If you can produce and sell your product a little cheaper than others are doing, you have no trouble in finding market l can point to certain con- cerns today which are working at ca pacity to fill orders, while others in the same industry are suffering de- pression Remember, high prices do not make prosperity; it is the amount of service rendered which makes prosperity.
 The most hopeful sign today is that an increasing number of business men are beginning to realize the above fact This is fundamental improve ment Already it is being reflected in increased confidence and a more sta ble tone in general business condi- tions.
 The outlook for business in nearly every line is better We are now lay ing the foundation upon which a great period of prosperity later will be built.

The Payer-PianO Is
the Great Solution

7 OTIS Of people-though they don't say SO -
Afeel little like Cousin Egbert in "Ruggles
Of Red Cap" after he had listened to the world
famous "piano guy":-
"Darned if don't wish I'd took
lessons on the piano myself like that guy DONE
It certainly does help to while away the tejum
when you got friends in for the afternoon. But
then was just hill-bly. Likely couldn't
have learned the notes good"
For Cousin Egbert and all like him who
would like to play but can't play, the player
piano is the great solution.
Here you have an instrument that plays
for you regardless Of your own lack Of musical
education.
And an instrument that begins and con-
tinues your musical education by training your
ear to familiarity with the music you want to
know.
When people who can play want to do so,
it offers it's keyboard like any other piano.
The player-piano is the great answer to the
yearning desire for music in the hearts Of thou
sands of men and women.
Headquarters for player-pianos are the
Wanamaker Piano Salons.
You can find no better instruments any
where-few as good
Players here cost from $495 to $1225.
They are sold on convenient terms.
And the guarantee Of this old and steady
business is behind every one we sell.
