cooking and distributing buckwheai

OMING in contact
7 4 with big things is
one Of the pleas
ures of life. Everybody
that's able-bodied likes
to say, 'T saw it, " 81 was
there" The rest like to
read about it.
Creating big things
for the people to come
in contact with seems to
be one of the interesting
experiences of life allot-
ted to this Store. We
enjoy it.
WE created the Fur
w niture Sale idea.
We kept working at it,
and thinking about it,
and making it better
twice a year, for 2S
years. That's Sc sales,
not counting the one
which will open Febru-
airy first, 1918.
(Some practice to
that)
And at all times, but
in this year above all
others, it has meant
some good, hard, off
with-the-coat and roll
up : the sleeves h a r. d
work.
And, mind you, we
were never trying espe-
cially to make the thing
big-only to make it
good.
But good things have
a way of growing.
There's no tying a brick
on their heads.
Here's the result:
This year we are able
to invite the greatest
people in the world to
the greatest Furniture
Sale in the world.
A Sale occupying 6
acres of floor space.
A S ale displaying
$4,000 samples of furni-
ture at once, and thou

Imagine what it

selling a few carloads

his expense with every
