MOST SACRED DAY OF JEWISH YEAR TO. BEGIN AT SUNSET Temples and Synagogues Will Be Crowded for Feast of | Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement, Yom Kip- ur, the most sacred day of the Jew- ish year, begins at sundown to-day and closes at sundown to-morrow. During these twenty-four hours Jews wherever they dwell implore forgive- ness of their sins and give themselves Up to penitence and devotion. Nor in that time, do they, unless severly ,3U, partake of food or drink. “The serious character impressed ‘Upon the day from the time of its in- | Gtitution has been preserved to the Present day,” says the Jewish Ency- clopedia, “No matter how much else has fallen into desuetude, so strong ie its hold upon the Jewish conscience that no Jew, unless he has cut him- welf entirely loose from the syna- gogue, will fail to observe the Day of Atonement by resting from his daily Pursuits and attending service in the | synagogue. | So wherever Jews dwell their places of worship will be thronxed this eve- | ning and from early morning until; dusk. to-morrow.

She frankly said, “No, I don’t be- lieve they are; 1 know that at least I have not done so.”” Then we told this woman the things that made her exclaim, ‘Why didn’t you tell me this before?’ and she added, Tell the public— --you will be helping many others as you have helped me. So here goes—to the public: 1. Increased production of merchan- dise is the only normal thing that will lower prices—a production at least equal to the demand and a little in excess. If everybody went to work, producing as much as possible, prices would come down while wages would stay up. 2. When the armistice was signed last November prices showed a tendency to fall, but this was only a temporary reaction and by May of this year they began going higher than ever. Now—here is the point: 3. Between November and May when prices were sagging and before the new advance, we—-the John Wana- maker Store—-bought nine million do lars of merchandise which we are selling today at prices based on the lower prices of that period. It is Wanamaker staple merchan- dise which neither fashion nor the wear and tear of shopkeeping has made less valuab e. In fact, this nine million dollar of staple goods cannot be re- placed today for nine million dollars factory cost. 4. The other merchandise we own-~ another three - and - a - half-millions— mainly fashions—-was bought almost entirely on the basis of last Spring's fabrie pric and on the basis of labor prevailing prior to the increases costs August We have this huge volume because of forehand buying and willingness and ability to meet the new conditions. Assan example of how prices have changed since this early buying, we have over $200,000 of furniture hold- ing for customers in our warchouses, and we are increasing the insurance on this merchandise above this amount, since if anythine should happen today we could not replace it for what our customers paid * Children’s It Pays. to Shop! before?” In a number of instances manufac- turers have offered to pay us several dollars more on a single garment to be released from their order for this Fall delivery. In other cases we have received of- fers from manufacturers to buy back at our retail price the merchandise which they only recently sold us. What does this mean? It means just this, we—the store— are your agents, the agents of the pub-. lie, in buying the best merchandise we can at the most favorable prices. In doing this we believe we have “used our head,” and have gone into the market at the right time to get the lowest prices. All this merchandise is priced as merchants price things and not as specu- lators would profit by it—a list of its prices would constitute A fair price list on personal and household goods. Now, if the public “uses its head” in buying — shopping around, carefully comparing qualities and prices — buy- ing wisely, there will follow greater advantages that will go far to keep down household expenses. Be assured always, that no matter how little you pay at Wanamaker’s, you will get quality and satistaction— if by error any unsatisfactory thing should creep into our stocks (and it is harder than ever today to keep out trash)—your money back for the asking, and our apologies. Quality with low prices is always to be found at Wanamaker’s.
