T. Stewart built his great store, at Broadway and Tah street, it was the largest store in the world, and provided abundant space for all the various kinds of goods the great mer- chant sold. Just a few years ago, under the present ownership, you may remember that the Piano Store occupied most of the Fifth floor, Furniture the entire Fourth floor, Carpets, Upholstery Goods and | Bedding the Third floor and China and Housewares the Basement. ONLY TWO FLOORS were used for the Women’s and Men's Apparel, Dry Goods, Jewelry, Books and Fancy Goods, WHICH NOW OCCUPY ALL OF THE OLD BUILDING AND THE | MAIN FLOOR OF THE NEW BUILDING. | Into the New Building when completed, were removed the stocks from the Basement, Third, | Fourth and Fifth floors of the Old Building (excepting the Toys), and the Men's and Boys’ Cioth- ing, Furnishings, Shoes, Underwear, Stockings, Hats and Gloves that were on the Main and Second floors were moved to the New Building. Thus, the ENTIRE TEN ACRES of this Fine OLD A. T. STEWART BUILDING Became the World’s Greatest Exclusive Store for Women And how infinitely this readjustment has added to the comfort and convenience of shopping, only | women familiar with the new Wanamaker’s can realize. { First, the change made necessary, as it made possible, the vast increase of stocks of every sort appealing to women, so that today there are no such assortments anywhere else as you will find at Wanamaker’s, because no other store, exclusively devoted to Women’s Goods, is large enough to contain what is here, The usual dress goods store offers only narrow aisles, poor light, crowded counters and much confusion, while the shopper is bumped or jostled by passers-by. | This is always most disconcerting to the woman who is making the very important decision as to what tissue she shall take to make an elegant gown. | Our first determination, when the increased space was available, was to provide the most roomy, comfortable, | undisturbed DRESS GOODS STORE that unlimited facilities could supply. : Ie | | Restful Shopping tor DRESS GOODS and SILKS So we took these fabrics away from the hurry and jostle of the Main floor, and placed them a floor above under the bright windows of Tenth street and along all the Broadway front— devoting half the entire floor to Dress Goods and Silks. A. T. Stewart in New York and John Wanamaker in Philadelphia have in turn held the honor of being AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAIL IMPORTERS OF LINENS. Twelve-years ago this 7 Fall the heritage of both combined in the one name and the | An Exhaustive Wanamaker imports grew vaster as the out!et was doubled. EXHIBIT The importance of these great Linen stocks was counted of second only to the dress goods and silks when the space appor- tionments were made. That is why there is not in the whole | country another stock so generously provided, or a store where the fine and staple linens, most wanted in the homes, are so exhaustively shown. And every yard of Linen sold here is PURE-FLAX in every thread. The distinctive character, the universal originality of Wanamaker fashions in WOMEN’S DRESSES AND WRAPS, are direct results of being daily in closest touch with the great originators of style in Paris, through OUR RESIDENT EXPERTS in The Touch ot Paris the French Capital. The actual garments are purchased and direct and Constantin forwarded to us, as quickly as they appear abroad. Letters, Wanamaker Costumes Nl Pure-Flax LINENS by every steamer, bring us elaborate descriptions of things seen, and the new garments are immediately'made exclusively | for Wanamaker’s by best American manufacturers, Even the cable is used to tell us of sudden style-changes. Alertness, aggressiveness, knowledge and information combine to make WANAMAKER’S the FOREMOST AUTHORITY on Fashions in Wornen's Apparel. Exactly the same forces and facilities contribute to Wanamaker pre-eminence in MILLINERY, Almost every steamer brings new millinery shapes and trim- mings, and our expert trimmers evolve the charming hats that have so delighted fashionable women this season, Paris has no secrets that do not come to Wanamaker’s for imme- diate expression. The charming, graceful Empire styles in costumes have emphasized the importance of the CORSET this season. CORRECT CORSETING is vital to the The CORSET— lines and drapery of the new gown. A wrong corset produces a shapeless failure, of a figure, which with the proper LILLIAN | CORSET would have been a most pronounced success. Com- ing, as they do, from the very center of Paris fashion, bringing the latest word of style, Lillian Corsets assure complete satis- faction to the wearer; for they are always RIGHT. And so the story might run on—but your carriage or motor is probably already at the Wanamaker Store, and you will continue your pleasure by ACTUALLY SEEING the things you have been reading about—and many others in addition, The Paris Thought in MILLINERY , Foundation of All Style Beauty Women’s Smart Tailored Suits, $20 Skirt-Drawers and Nightgowns We did so well with this same most attractive model at a higher price that, by pla hy tevin di Skirt-Drawers the newest device igher price y placing a more than usually large order, we | for doing away with fullness at the have it to sell at the special price of $20, | waist-line. ‘They combine knicker- Keapeisa F bocker drawers and skirt, both joined And every woman who sees it will agree that it isa wone/ to @ well-titted Wetting nana’ derfully stylish suit for such a moderate amount. | lace pimped, 32.7 We have also In hard-finished worsted, black or dark blue, in a handsome a Pyro e 15 nanan A) self-striped weave.
