Reflections Suited a Wanamaker Furniture
Sale or to Any Hind of Sale Held Anywhere

WY money on furniture, because
it's an important step; a step
that is taken every day, but not every
day by the same person-far from it,
and a step in which it is very, very easy
TO commit extravaganza of one or the
other kind as described above.
It's step in which you need, not adj
vice, but the evidence of your own good
eyes.
For your oUn good eyes there is a display
of our OJCn good furniture in this August Sale;
DiGHy thousands of pieces of neU, high-grdde
cGbinetUOrk:
Al of il made in the light to sell in the light
(dud TO continue to stand in the light after sell
tRg) for the Store phich held the first furni-
ture sales in the country, and which still holds
the furniture sales Dhich hold the confidence
Of the people.
Also for your eyes, and for the light
of unreserved comparison with prices
on other furniture of the same grade
sold anywhere else (if sold anywhere
else) under the blue sky of America,
are the August Sale prices with which
the furniture is tagged, indicating gen.
uine reductions from regular selling
figures that were previously most rea-
sonable.
Owe are not going to dwell in detail
on the fact, to which we have previously
given publicity, that there is now such
scarcity of lumber and of skilled work.
men, and, consequently such cost attach
ing to manufacture, that all the new
wholesale prices of high-grade furni-
ture are not merely going to BE higher
they ARE higher already, by 20 to 20
per cent than when through timely pre-
Z vision this fine stock of August Sale
furniture was secured by advance
orders).
AYEITHER shall we dwell on the
HW quality of our furniture, for we
% don't need to.
Know that story told of the late
Queen Victoria and the (still living)
Ex-Empress Eugene, when the English
Queen paid State visit to the thep. I'm
perial rulers of France?
There was, of course a State ban
quet given with great magnificence,
and one of those privileged to attend re-
lates as an incident which, to his acute
eyes, showed the difference between the
mental attitude of Queen born to the
purple and simple member of the i'm
poverished lesser nobility of Spain,
raised Unexpectedly to an Imperial po-
sition.
His sharp eyes noticed that when the
beautiful Empress of the French took
her seat at the royal table, she first look
ed behind her-t0 see if the chair lUas
there.
Queen Victoria didn't, however.
"Why should she?" he added. For her
the chair had always been there"
Among the things that "have always
been here for us is the confidence of the
public in our merchandise.
RR OWEVER, we are sincerely glad
II that some persons, given to rely
H' 60 ing on the evidence of their own
eyes, take no statements in print for granted
until they have ''gone about" from establishment
to establishment, priced" and Cooked" to their
hearts content and their feet's discomfort, be-
fore returning to purchase here.
Their return, and what they say of Wana-
maker August Sale furniture after seeing other
furniture, is a stronger Endorsement of our
goods, our prices and our standards than any
thing we could undertake to publish IN self
praise.
