ONE people have not
- seemed to wholly UNI
~ derstand which is
"the" day of best opportun-
tiles in the August Furni-
ture Sale.
They debate whether
they should select these
Courtesy Days of the cur
rent week - Wednesday,
July 28th, Thursday, the
29th and Friday, the both
or next Monday, August
End, the starting day of the
Sale.
But while they are de-
batting, others are attend
ing, not by dozens or by
hundreds but by thousands.
There's a suggestion in
that.
The fact is that "the"
day of opportunity for you
to purchase Wanamaker
furniture is the earliest
day that you can arrange
to visit the great Sale.
" on surely know how
L it is. There is 80
much furniture and so
many people. The people
have come (mostly) to
carry away the furniture.
The quantity of furni-
ture is vaster than eye or
mind can grasp.
After you have paced
around Wanamaker Square
and surveyed the imposing
array of furniture in the
40 windows-nearly one
third Of a mile of windowsi
all filled with splendid
and unusual furniture, new
er placed on sale before
you go inside, take the ele-
vators to the Fifth Floor,
and thence to the Sixth,
thence to the Seventh;
And on each floor you'll
see acres of pieces and suits
of furniture, the best made,
in the widest variety of
styles and effects-not a
duplicate, save in chairs be-
longing to the same suit.
And then you realize, by
the eager and rapid buying
which you see, that even
this wonderful floor dis
play would not last long, if
there were not other big
stocks behind 1.-THE huge
warehouses full of furni-
ture, from which the floor
stocks are replenished; yes.
and fresh supplies coming
on a rush by train or truck,
to replenish those ware
houses in their turn.
But then-did you ever
see so many people, save at
Christmas gift : II yin g
time?
Thousands of them, hail
