WANAMAKER ' S Did you ever stop to think why Wanamaker ' s is the biggest general store in the world ? There ' s no mystery about the matter. But ten years old and nearly 14 acres of floor space crowded by the business of the establishment, and yet no mystery about the wonderful growth. There ' s been magic, though ; the magic of wise buying and wiser selling ; the magic of telling the truth ; the magic of liberal dealing ; the magic of making you feel that to a certain extent the store was your store. You can find at Wanamaker ' s almost any mer- chandise that the sun shines on. You know It. Is anything common or uncommon wanted, be it Dress Goods or Silks, Clothing or Carpets, Shoes or Silver Ware, Books or Buttons, Gymnastic Outfits or Sport- ing Materials your first thought i s Go to Wana- maker ' s. You are not only sure that the desired article will be there, but that the price will be a fair one — a Wanamaker price. Take Books. Why does Wanamaker sell more books at retail than any other dealer in the country ? In ten years the leading Bookseller in the United States ! outstripping firms that have done a big busi- ness for generations. It ' s because at Wanamaker ' s books have been treated precisely as any other mer- chandise. No combination to keep prices up. Buy at bed-rock wholesale rates, and sell at a little ad- vance. Book News has helped, too. It strips the mask from any book that deserves it ; tell you the truth about books and gives the Wanamaker prices for them. 5 cents a copy, 50 cents a year- JOHN WANAMAKER, Philadelphia.
