Reliable Prices

From the day Of the
Stores opening, when
movable prices were the
rule, to today, when,
owing to good example,
they are the exception,
no Wanamaker price
has ever been pushed
higher or lower TO ac-
cord with an estimate of
what tn e customer
would give"
In our Sales-usually
great seasonal events
when prices have been
honestly lessened, be-
cause, owing to large
transactions, we can
honestly afford to lessen
them, there is no secret
boosting" behind the
scenes in order to make
a theatrical come-down
and clatter before the
curtain.

who wish TO take advan-
tage Of the Sales should
visit them soon).
Why?
Wanamaker st an d.
ards are as rigid for sale
goods as for regular
merchandise.
People with disap-
pointed hopes of selling
us inferior goods say
they are so straight
they lean backward.
Better so.
Rely upon it, you can
not buy in these Sales
an imperfect or soiled
rug, an "old-timer" of a
lamp, a knocked-about
lampshade, a plate that
is not perfect and of
high-quality china.
The White Sale is over
a week old, but the gar
ments in it are still
snowy, still fresh, still
new-because they were
so when we received
them.
Their plentifulness is
due to new, snowy, fresh
goods continuing to ar
rive, not to our going
through our regular
stocks and filling in"
with shopworn or tum-
bled goods.
The public knows this
so well that they give lit
tie chance to any of our
goods to become musSed
or tumbled-they are
bought up so fast. (
All through the regu-
lar as well as the Sale
stocks, the whole store
over, one can be just as
sure of the freshness
and good qualities.
New shoes, both mems
and women's, walk into
the store every day. Nc
rubbed, or shabby, OF
clumsy shoes slip in
save on feet, which
bring them in to super
sede them with new, re
liable w an a m a kel

Reliability in
Advertising

The Wanamaker con-
ceptiOn of an advertise
ment is not a rhetorical
effort, but a straightfor-
ward piece of informa-
ton as to what we have
TO sell and what we will
sell it for.
It is not an ordering
out of the entire
strength of the army of
adjectives, but an I'M
dertaking, usually sue
.ceSSful, to describe the
wares just as they are
a spade as a spade I'VE
do sell them, a dollar
article as a good dollars
worth rather than as
five dollars worth-un-
less something very
extraordinary has hap
pened.

writing, for fascinating

stocks, carries nothing
but new, fresh goods,
bought expressly for
Wanamaker customers,
often made expressly
for them.
Our customers know
and rely on this.
We never sell "bank-
rupt" merchandise. Our
customers interests are
never sacrificed in order
to soften a fellow-mer-
chants or a manufac-
turer's misfortune, for
their interests are ours.
They rely on this fact,
which they have tested
out.
On whatsoever dav
they come here, to what
soever counter they go,
they rely on finding
there a wide selection of
the worlds best mer-
chandiSe; no left-overs,
no heaps of picked
overs, or sob lots" or
what-nots.
They do not even need
to come. They can write,
they can telephone, and
still rely on the best
service the Store can
offer them.

RELIA BTLTTY it,
self"
A woman said that
just a few days ago, and
better than the mere
saying Of it, we believe
that she believed it.
If the old saying be
true, that "never" is a
long word, then how big
is the word RELIA-
BILITY!
Such a big word that
it takes bigness in any
institution to measure
up in the public mind to
the highest standard of
reliability in business.
A long word, too
the word said to be the
lengthiest in the Eng
fish language has but
two syllables m ore.
Words do not roll
themselves out in a day
into SO many sonorous
syllables as this fine old
word RELIABLE
ITY.
Year after year, per-
haps generation after
generation, it must have
been in the making,
shaping itself to the
uses that men and wom-
en- found for it.
A stores service can
not be built with a word,
nor in a day. But it can
be built like a word
slowly, growing up out
of a public need, feeling
its way into usefulness,
until people say:
We'll! we could not
get along without that
reliable old Store!" Just
as they could not get
along without the word
and the concept Of RE-
LIABILITY in dealing
with one another.
RELIABILITY is not
merely the foundation
of civilized existence
and of rightly conduct
ed business, but the very
basis on which the world
goes round, the laws Of
the physical universe
proceed:
The North Star and
the Southern Cross in
the skies to reliably
guide the mariner, the
movements Of the earth
on its axis to give us
night and day just when
we expect them; while
the stability Of the hills,
landmarks for mile S
around, has passed into
a proverb.
That the service of
the Wanamaker institu-
ton has also passed into
a proverb is due, not to
mere age, but to its bed
