More selling space will soon be re- quired to show the new Fall arrivals— although many weeks still remain when a girl or woman must have cool clothes and when an extra summer dress or two will be needed for the week-end trip. The new lowered prices ate so far below their original rates that every one who comes here tomorrow may be sure of a surprise. Every dress is part of the carefully chosen Wanamaker stocks (none was bought specially for this clearaway) and the styles are those which have gained Fashion's approval this summer.
