local manager wanted me to get there

WILL be a strong sale, sale full
of advantages up to the very last
hour, because the furniture is
here to keep it's strength and vitality
and helpfulness at the fullest all the
way through.
This is the time when the sale
begins to give the most unmistakable
proof that it is really and truly a
great sale, the greatest sale in the
country.
This is the time when the unri-
vailed magnitude of the Wanamaker
stocks begins to count.
This is the time when an ordinary
stock reveals it's weakness and an
extraordinary stock it's strength.
Never mind the quantities we
have sold-the thing that matters is
that we still have a magnificent col
lection Of furniture for all rooms and
requirements, a collection in which
it is practically impossible for any
one of reasonable needs not to find
the things desired and to find them
at real advantage in price.
