pleat aggregation of people in the whole world is now

merce, in finance, in education, in music, in charity, in
achievement, in power.
Believing that this sovereignty is not generally
,known to the people of our city, the John Wanamaker

' statistics, which it will present day by day in connec~

all of February—we shall offer
