TVCapitol" 



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

THREE INVITATIONS 

 TO HOME LOVERS 



HO, among the countless visitors to the Wanamaker Stores, 

 can forget the first view of the Galleries of Furnishing and 

 Decoration, and the quick, delicious feeling of surprise, in 

 the superbly appointed Piano Salons, the exhibits of a long 

 perspective of the world's famous Pianos and the daily 

 concerts in the great Auditorium; the pleasing sense of nov- 

 elty in the beautiful Ceramic Galleries, Crystal Alcoves, Picture and Art 

 Salons; the joyful consciousness of entering on a long anticipated pleasure 

 in the splendid Drapery Gallery, the three vast Furniture Galleries, and 

 the famous "House Palatial," whose Furnishing Arts exhibits delight the 

 senses and thrill the hearts of A MILLION AND A HALF VISITORS 

 ANNUALLY! 



(1) Those who will be in New York during vacation season are cordially invited to be our 

 guests, and mingle with the home lovers, from all over the country, who find the Galleries' 



displays so eloquent in suggestion and inspiration in the 

 Home-Making Arts; and to revel in the displays in the 

 Women's Store — the old A. T. Stewart Building. 



(2) Those who are unable to visit us, and who will write, will 

 be mailed (without charge, postpaid) a copy of the daintilv 

 illustrated Wanamaker "GUIDE BOOK," which tells all 

 about both stores, the latest fashions in Home Furnishing and 

 Women's and Men's Apparel, and describes our various cata- 

 logues and folios, our system of sending samples, and the 

 Correspondence Advisory Bureau of the Wanamaker Inter- 

 national Mail Order Service. 



The Chippendale Tea Table, here illustrated, is taken 

 from our folio of "FOREFATHERS' FURNITURE" and is 

 one of four hundred and fifty-one pieces, therein shown. 



(3) Those who have a room — or house — to decorate and fur- 

 nish, and who will send us a rough sketch, or blue print, will 

 receive samples, color schemes, pictures of furniture, sug- 

 gestions and estimates, if they will address our "DECORA- 

 TIVE ADVISORY BUREAU," Section H— no charge for this
