This is the and only furniture store that has stand
ardzed the quality of furniture, in so far it be
standardized No other store that know of could Let
however, be clearly understood.
BY standardize to lift up.
Too often it means merely to maintain for instance,
to maintain and keep from going down qualities that
deemed already good On the contrary to sandarze furn
ure understand the term and put into practice
to make everything better that be made better and of
course to let things be made either to bring
down their price or for any other consideration.
The result is that standard is always rising espe
caly with these sales which have enlarged dis
trbutng capacity that every year to find it easier
to have furniture made better than has been made
and priced lower than it has ever been priced
We think it is very reasonable to say that
there is way whereby this Furniture Sale could
have become the greatest retail business event in
the world except by always afordng greatest
choice of the best goods.
Will you mark it WE'LL that the goods which made these
sales great better today than they have been
because these good reliable Wanamaker grades have
been vastly improved yet their prices low ever,
and in many cases lower.
This applies in particular where it counts for most
in the medumpriced bedroom and dining furniture
which must necessarily form the bulk and backbone of the
stock from which most good homes made.
