Things happen that ne'er did before
-Chatterer.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel cared
little for the cold and snow Ne
laughed at rough Brother North
Wind and Jack Frost. On pleasant
days ne frlsked about in the trees
and enjoyed every minute. On
stormy days he kept in his snug home
ana slept most of the time But
she instant the storm was over he
was out again, as saucy and imnu-
dent as ever
In the first place Chatterer had
warm coat, but even moro important
than this was the fact that he had
plenty to cat With all his faults
Chatterer has one splendid habit-the
hablt of thrift. In the fall he had
stored away plenty Of food to take
1lm through the winter, and he had
oeen wise enough not to put all in
one storehouse. Chatterer had sew
eral storehouses. All but one Of
these were in or under hollow stumps
or logs close to the ground. but his
biggest storehouse was in a tall hol-
low stump, and the entrance was
nigh above the ground. In this he
hao stored his choicest acorns and
biggest hickory nuts.
AL through the early part Of The
winter he had used the food from the
other storehouses and seldom had
visited his biggest one. he knew
BY experience that the time might
come when ice and snow might make
1t almost impossible to get to these
other storehouses. Then he would
rave the biggest one from which to
Jake all he needed without any trou
bic at all
That time did come. There came p
great ice storm, the worst ice storm
any one in the Green Forest could
remem Der. For day and night q
me rain fell and froze as it fell until
III the trees and bushes were coated
hlckly with ice, and the snow on the
,round was covered with thick crust
y ice: Then rough Brother North
y md blew and blew, and the weight
Il the ice on the trees broke off

ono trees were split. II was ter

perhaps we have. We have touched

and to those who read between the lines
cord TO the 1ase IS enoueh
Another day we may discuss some
of the moro material sides Of the Store
For example:
Wanamaker's specialized service for
women Of fashion-each age Of men
nez0 fashions doth inUent, says Poor
Richard; fashions are always blamed
on the men, you see.
Wanamaker's specialized service for
young women, Miss IA to 20, the debu-
+ante, the fapper, the school or college
girl; including even a School and Col.
lege Bureau for the outftting of school
girls.
Wanamaker's specialized service for
the home-woman again; Il house
scithout rrom1a's and freight, says Poor
Richard, Is like body st1thout soul or
sprite. And SO our Bureau of Interior
Observation-Disclosures is presided
over by woman.
Wanamaker's specialized service for
music-pianos, player pianos, the Won
derful Ampico, the Victrola, Sonora
and other monographs.
Wanamaker's specialized service for
mems outftting-the Mems Stores, all
on one floor, the street floor, called the
Burlington Arcade Floor, including
The London Shop and the Sports Shop
Wanamaker's specialized service for
boys, girls and all children, including
a complete store for babies, presided
over by woman of long experience in
mothers needs.
Wanamaker's specialized Stores of
jewelry and silver; of leather goods
md toilet accessories; of linens and
napery; of dress goods and silks and
patterns and notions.
Wanamaker's specialized Stores Of
shoes, for women, men and children.
Wanamaker's Au Quatrieme-that
unique fourth floor of antiques-fur.
niture, glass, pictures and bibelots of
much charm and some rarity.
Wanamaker's Coin de Paris, real
corner of Paris fashions for women.
Wanamaker's Salon de Beaute-for
making woman's charm even greater.
Wanamaker's restaurant, known far
and wide.
Wanamaker's Cameo candy, famous
on two continents.
Wanamaker's specialized service in
merchandise of less cost but of satis-
factory quality-the Downstairs Store,
a store in itself that serves tens of thou
sands of families.
And so we might run on!

It's O. great business-is business.
As Poor Richard says:

birthday, January II, is to receive more
than usual attention this year.
Franklin was the many S dc d
American. And so, various~ kinds of
trades and industries, professions and
organizations claim him as their pa
tron saint
The printers and publishers make
the first claim. Poor Richards
Almanac was first written by Richard
Saunders (pseudonym), but printed
and sold by B. Franklin, who cast the
first type, planned the first magazine
and printed the first novel in the colo
mes, also establishing the Pennsyl-
vania Gazette, of which the Philadel-
phia North American is direct de-
scendant.
The book sellers claim him, Frank
I'm made boohs, but books made
Franklin, they say. And did Franklin
not publish the first booksellers cata
logue and found the first circulating
library?
Educational and literary interests
claim hinl--did he not found the
University Of Pennsylvania and
Franklin College, the latter now ab
sorbed in Franklin and Marshall Col
|cge at Lancaster, Pa; and is Frank
Inns autobiography not a classic of
classics?
Science claims him as the man 1cAo
snatched lightning from the skies.
Philosophy claims him. Even music
claims him as the inventor of the
larmonica. all instrument that gave
music from glass discs. And statecraft
acclaims him for his profound and
patriotic craftsmanship at home and his
marvellous diplomacy abroad
But above all, the people-those who
read and thlnk--tind in Poor Richards
sayings the fountain of common sense.
sage counsel, homcly wisdom and
philosophy that helps them over MANY
rough paths in life.
Yes, Franklin was the many-sided
American, and perhaps in honoring his
birthday we may find way to present
some Of the many sides of the
Wanamaker Store. Who knows7
Keep thy shop, and thy shop xall
heep thee, is tranklins first injunction
to the storekeeper. D1ue thu business
let not that drive thee, is his second.
The first saying is proved by our
more than 60 years of continuous STORE
keeping. The second explains, perhaps,
our sometimes energetic merchandising
and advertising methods.
IT'S foolish to lag ont n,o,aeu in n
purchase Of repentance is the thou9ht
back of this stores persistence in sell-
ing only merchandise of oualitv-p7oss
CHINA and reputation are eoazy cracked
and '1ever sce1 mended. We are ever
vlg1l;H1t IN keeping out of our stocks
anything that will not give s. atisfaction
ana out OF our system of dealing any
method or policy that will not stand the
test of true service. No one need ever
say III this store: 4At great pennuxcorth
pause schile, nor he scho bias had necd
havco hundred eyes.
True it is-as Poor Richard saws
6ar.ga'rsrg has neither friends nor re-
lat'ons-and bargaining was one Of the
flrst evils that this house rooted ont of
business and banished for all time in
stores Of character.

There is no compensation in store
keeping equal to the strain that it entails
not even money or honor or power
no real compensation except the Joy
that comes from letting flow out of our
selves the power that is in each one of
us to make others happy-whether we
work mainly with our hands or our
heads, whether we labor in the profes-
slons or the industries, whether we arc
teachers or preachers, physicians or
lawyers, artists or mechanics, or lust
plain storekeepers. Who pleasure
g'Ues shall jog receiue is as true nova,
1T was in Franklin's day.
People sometimes wonder at the
many hospltalities of this Store: the free
concerts; the museum-like aspect of It's
merchandise; the exhibits of paintings.
tapestries, early English silver and
other arts; the freedom to- look and
enjoy without obligation to buv: the
lavish decorations and exhibits, especial
ly at Christmas time; the privilege of
return of merchandise; the courtesies of
charge accounts and free deliveries; the
Tree guides and shopping service; the
information bureau and travel service:
the postal, cable, telegraph and wire
less offices; the giving up of quick-scll-
ing spaces to goods that merely add
beauty to the Store. Does it pay? Can
it pay?
Yes, it all -zoealth is not his
t'1dt t' mas 1t, but his that enjoys 1t. This
Store is the peoples Store. 1t is theirs
to enjoy. Their enjoyment is the test
of whether it pays.

From the moment Maroons sig
nailed the hour at which hostilties

utes had gone by everything and
every one i'm the nation was still.
There were no elaborate ceremonies
to mark the great silence, Even at
the Cenotaph in Whitehall. the heart
of the empire. the proceedings were Of
the most simple character. The king.
representing the nation. laid q wreath
on the memorial of the silent sons Of
Britain. Tho ministry Of the army,
the navy and the Dominions paid
tribute and then the people. coming
In a great pilgrimage through White
hall, placed their offerings about the
memorial.
Throughout the day thousands
passed in n constant stream by the
tomb of the Unknown warrior in
Westminster Abbey.
This was poppy day too. and mil
lions wore the little symbols recalling
the peoples that grow In Flanders
Field.
