The "Capitol" 



Lawn Trimmer 

 and Edger 



Why you should buy it 



1st. It has had five years' test on 

 thousands of lawns — it is no experi- 

 ment. 



2d. The shield over cylinder pro- 

 tects flowers — no other has it. 

 3d. The steel disk turf edger gives 

 two machines at the price of one. 

 4th. We originated the trimmer idea 

 — our "Capitol" is the pioneer — 

 others are simply imitations. 



The "Capitol" takes the grass the 

 lawn mower leaves. The edger 

 trims your turf edges. 



Price with Edger, $6.00 

 'without, $5.50

the particulars of which are important to everybody building anew or reconstructing the old. 

 It is now an admitted fact that we have worked out a great thought in constructing our large 

 new building especially to install a new kind of Furnishing and Decoration business, wherein 

 we have now upwards of three millions of dollars in fine and distinctive Furniture, Draperies and Floor 

 Coverings and all that pertains to a home, and are able at all times to assemble and group the actual pieces 

 of Furniture, Wall, Window and Floor Coverings and show by a staff of artistic and experienced men the 

 harmonious furnishings of a single simple or elaborate room, or an entire mansion swung into balance and 

 harmony, according to the individuality of the owner, with cost estimated, not by pictures or photographs, 

 but definitely and reasonably by the actual articles. This business, just begun is the growing quantity of 

 the Wanamaker business, twelve years in New York and in Philadelphia for the last 48 years. Behind 

 it there are all our valuable mistakes, and costly experiences and perfected systems, to enable us to perform in 

 the best manner whatever we undertake. 



The House Palatial is a lofty, solidly built mansion of two stories within our building, with 24 spacious 

 rooms, furnished equally well with many of the best of the Fifth Avenue residences. Smaller and simpler 

 buildings are in course of construction to show, beside the richest, the humblest and moderate though 

 thoroughly artistic examples of Furnishing. 



Correspondence invited, and a full staff of competent people ready to take on and execute promptly any 

 work entrusted to us. Freightage from New Yorkisasmallmatterincomparison with obvious satisfactions gained. 



It pleases us to think that we have learned how to be economic and artistic and do things out of the 

 common when desired. 



We have a little Guide Book to the Store, which 

 we will be glad to send you. It tells much about our 

 business and the merchandise, and will tell you 

 about our specialized catalogues, so that you will 

 know just what literature to ask for, when you
