A Sale That Stands Alone

It is impossible for any one of ordinary observa-
ton to go through these stocks and not recognize that
in extent quality variety, beauty and desrabeness
they far surpass any other collection to stand
entirely alone
Somehow we always seem to be able to do things
better the oftener we do them. This is not said in
conceit but illustration of the increasing power
and mastery that come from long experience and
sound development along the proper lines.
The result is Furniture Sale that answers
every requirement within other sale
possibly We don't think there is need to stress
that point any further.
The people have eyes and they know how to
use them.
They have heads, and they know how to use
them.
Long before today they began to their eyes
and their heads in judging furniture sales. We may
say we are perfectly satisfied with their decision
The greatest thing that came from their
judgment Of the furniture situation is this August
Sale.

WE HAVE made some strong statements abou
" this August Furniture Sale and these are tn
days when we are backing them up with tn
goods.
For some years past we have had reason t.
know that Philadelphians and many other customer
friends not Philadelphians, show a personal kin
of pride in our Furniture Sales-they seem to re
gard them as one of the great business distinc
tions of Philadelphia and they are glad that Phia
delphia, the city of homes is the home of the world
greatest sale.
During the past two days of Inspection an
Courtesy this feeling seems to have been more pre-
nounced than ever. We can say there is good reaso
for it. Anybody can that there is good reaso
for it.

Of the present law on the ground that
70 Is class legislation. farmers and re-
turns from real estate being exempted.
Governor Townsend and Josiah Mar
vel, Of Wilmington. have worked. with
Representative Muivena in getting q
bill that it was hoped would be suitable
TO everyone.
With only two more weeks 10 do
business in, there remains a large num-
Der OF important bills on the calendars,
and the prospects are there will be sew
eral night sessions both next week and
Tho last week OF the session.
Some disposition Of the Kent County
Levy Court ripper" bills would clarity
the situation, and this action may come
early next week. The Republican mem
bers Of both houses have arranged for
q caucus on Monday. when u IS expect
ed these bills viii be discussed and
some decision made as to just what
will be done with them.
At The present time many Republicans
do not think that these bills could be
passed by either House as number OF
Republican members have said they
would not support them on The ground
that It is unjust legislation.
The Statewide prohibition bill may
be disposed Of In the senate next week.
This bill passed she House by a vote
of 2i TO II but there are many who
believe It will not receive the support
of the majority OF the members Of
he Senate. Some Senator'S are said TO
be taking the stand that there Is no
need for such legislation In view Of
the federal amendment having been
ratified
The new scnooi code and the initia-
live and referendum Ills are two other
important measures that viii likely be
lcted on next week
There are a grist OF bills on the cal
andar providing for increased pay for
various State and county officials which
would be disposed OF in short order
should the Kent county "rippers" be |
gotten out Of the way.
