NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 80. 1910.
THE MOST IMPORTANT OF H AUGUST FURNITURE
SALES TO START ON MONDAY MORNING

The kind of midsummer furniture sales organized In the new
Wanamaker Store in 1896 was an innovation in New York, but we
had seven years previous experience in August Furniture Sales in
Philadelphia, and knew what could be done.
Now that twenty-one years have elapsed since we found out
what was possible to do for our furniture patrons, by yoking them up
with the manufacturers who needed business at the low eb of
manufacturing in the summertime, we have a valuable experience
that we offer in these annual August sales.
COUPLED WITH THE FACT ABOVE STATED GER
TAIN CHANGES THAT TOOK PLACE IN OUR FURNITURE
BUSINESS IN MARCH LAST, led to a thorough overhauing
and reconstruction of III furniture business.
This brought us into closer touch with the best manufacturers
who confined their business to us.
We Are Therefore Able To Make a Greater August
Furniture Sale Than Any We Have Ever
Made In New York City
Two very striking things have recently occurred, aiding us In the
great preparations we have made for this broader scale Furniture Sale.
NrTURE COMPANY, Of GRAND RAPIDS, ONE OF THE
VERY BEST MAKERS OF FURNITURE.
And we have had a special advantage in acquiring large portion
of their stock of bedroom and dining room furniture amounting to ex-
acuy $97,346; and besides this, within tho last few weeks the ex-
ceIent and wel-known New York manufacturing firm OF S G.
E~sTABROOK & COMPANY, WITH WHOM WE HAVE
LONG DEALT, BROUGHT TO US $4,000 WORTH OF
GOODS of their better grades of Parlor Furniture, being their entire
stock.
The fact was that they were retiring from the manufacturing
business, and that everything was absolutely new, including $4,000
worth of their samples on exhibition at the New York Furniture
Exchange, Lexington Ave, and 43d Street
Three-fourths of the furniture was still In the works, in process of
completion. We took advantage of the opportunity because there
We made an exceptionally good contract whereby we are able
to get tho goods to sell to our good patrons at far less than our
The Estabrook firm told us that they could sell portions of it al IS
per cent above the prices that we were considering, but they were not
able to sell all, end wanted some one party to take all the goods and
ALL THESE GOODS OF THE PHOENIX AND OF THE
and valuable additions of various manufacturers, making a COM
prehenstve stock Of fine furniture amounting to between ss5oyooo
and 1881 900 worth
This Is IL actual ownership and all at the disposal of our
customers.

CIVILIZATION.

The old HindOo saw in his
dream the human race led out to
its vanous fortunes. First men were
in chains, which went back TO an
iron hand. Then he saw them led
by threads from the braia, which
went upward to an unseen hand.
The first was despotsm. iron and
ruling by force. The last was civ
