XN Ue ) ) Broadway at Ninth, New York The public is showing a fine spirit in carry- ing small packages and in complying with the rules of the sale— (1) Nothing sold to dealers. (2) Nothing sold C. O, D. (3) Nothing returnable (4) Nothing on approval I Am Urged to Say a Few Words about the wonderful operation that is in pro- gress to give notice to speculators, who have been the instigators of high prices by corner- ing raw materials of every description and overruling in one way of another the limits of ‘the time of the storage of foodstuffs. _ Most assuredly the people have been very patient and have welcomed the patriotic effort upon which we entered last week, when not a single article in the store was exempt from the horizontal reduction that came on every tick- et, except in the matter of a few reserva- tions, of little consequence, where an honor- able understanding had to be observed. If some one had asked us to cut prices here and there, we would have pointed to our record of sixty years to show that we were KNOX STRAW. HATS NOX Straw Hats for 1920 are now on sale. Braids and styles are presented in CS variety ample enough to meet every man’s preference—from the conservative Sennit or Split Sailor to the finest Panama. TTT TTT TT There will also be found manufacturing features, exclusively Knox, which add greatly to the com- fort of wearing. For eight decades Knox has each May presented new straw hat styles. During eighty years Knox has established a reputation for straw hat quality that is above question. Prices this year, as dur- ing all other years, are based upon the cost of maintaining this quality in true Knox fashion, = PRICES, UPWARD FROM SIX DOLLARS SOFT HATS AND DERBIES TEN DOLLARS AND UPWARD KNOX HAT COMPANY Incorporated 452 FIFTH AVENUE 161 BROADWAY AT 40TH STREET SINGER BUILDING TAWODVUVUOTHOAVUTSOUUUVOTTOTOVOVTTN SSS ra iF not cutters of prices. Instead we put in everything we owned to back up the purpose that we had that the people should have a genuine opportunity to save one-fifth of the cost of whatever they bought of us. It is quite possible that some people sell “seconds” of certain makes of articles that, for one reason or another, for some defect, were not included in the first choice of goods, and these may have appeared eslewheie at lower prices. What we did and what we are doing is open to every merchant in this city or any other city, and hundreds have greatly praised us and used our advertising, and had every advantage that we are seeking for New York. It certainly has stimulated thousands of storekeepers to endeavor to give the pecple of their communities advantages to try to meet their losses on Liberty Bonds and their neces- sities to save during the continuing high cost of living. | We Are Very Much Encouraged | and we find a little sign hére and there of manufac- turers joining with us in the endeavor not to advance prices but to lower them in some instances. We are putting out the cash that comes in, large quantities of it, wherever we find the articles that are up to our standard, and in some instances the owners of them are making reductions to us, which we turn over to our customers by giving a new price, which includes ony advantage that we have receiv in the making of these purchases for cash. | We Are Not Urging People to Buy | We are simply giving them the opportunity and we shal] continue to do so, being free to give notice any day when we have reason to believe that we have done our part. We are in no hurry to sell our splendid stocks, and we will do our utmost to keep up our assortments by very great diligence in watching the markets. We are not so much intent on having a great sale as we are intense in our pur- pose to stand with the people back of us, to protest against further advances at first hands, or making goods scarce by by keeping them in storage. May 13, 1920 ——JOHN WANAMAKER— Telephone Stuyvesant 4700 1) Another Day of 20 Per Cent. Off the Price of | (| Anything You Buy in the Wanamaker Store (with the exception of a few trade-marked articles and our separate catalog stocks) NEW FASHIONS came in overnight . New Furniture and Rugs, and Housewares New Bags and Suit Cases, and Books, for holiday-goers “The Wanamaker Bombshell,” is the way a large New England store describes our store-wide reductions. “It caused a sensation the like of which has not been known in the dry goods world in many years.” 7 ~ qe 8 “I wish to thank you for attempting to bring down the very high prices existing at the present time. I am a widow since 1917, the mother of five children under 19 years, and it is certainly a struggle to feed a family properly and dress them go they can have self-respect going to‘ business or school. There are hundreds, I believe, like myself.” oe * “It is going to be a sorry time for the Hoarders and Profiteers’ announces a 5- store concern which has followed the Wanamaker example and_ reduced prices 20 Pipes cent. all-around. ‘‘We’ré in it now, and expect to make sacrifices in order to make good to the public.” ee 6 “Your 20 per cent. reduction campaign against the H. C. of L. is attracting great attention all through this northern tier of counties, and your ads are better than the editorials in the papers you run them in. “You are at the meat of the matter and I sincerely hope .you will receive the eration of our loyal merchants all over the country. If your example induces them to follow, you have done the greatest ser- vice ‘to the country that has deen per- formed since the signing of the armistice.”— (Letter from Northern New York.) o* 8 “Would you really believe it, I never was here before, and I hadn’t the least idea that Wanamaker’s was such a lovely place. Why,I got the loveliest things for my children I ever saw, and I had no idea te your children’s section was so very ig!” “T was ordering something in your store,” writes, a woman, “and a woman standing besides me suddenly laughed and said, ‘Isn’t it funny!’’ I turned to look at her, and she smiled at me and said, ‘I live in Lenox Road myself, and I never met you before.’ ” «ee # ...

When I found that a $2.45 garment cost me only $1.96, the 20 per cent.-off idea just began to dawn on me. Sol bought enough underclothes to last a yeaf or more.” Another customer wes standing near the Subway entrance gazing intently at the busy throng around the coun- ters and tables. When I see this crowd," she was heard to say, * t like to leave: I feel that I'm missing something.

Even your luncheon in the Down-Stairs Store will cost 20 per cent. leas. Oratory, Song and Story In the Auditorium, Friday, at 2:30 By the HENDERSON SCHOOL OF ORATORY Alfred E.
