It's Unsurpassed Showing

is feature Of the Sale that has Deen much
remarked on, for the variety well as the qualities
shown
Coverings can. Of course be selected in any
style for we will take orders to make upholstered
furniture: but in these Sale goods already made
up there seems already something to suit every
taste from modest little slip-seat standing chair
to capacious, luxurious freside or ounging chair:
High backs, low backs; arms and no arms;
dark colorings or bright ones rich tapestries,
velours mohairs and a particularly wonderful
range of styles in cretonnes.
i "Odd" chairs, so called are quite as much the
fashion now as "sets" which creates especial
interest in the remarkable Wanamaker Sale assem-
blage Of fine upholstered pieces for use in living
room, hall or library.
The finest assemblage Of all is in the groupings
on the Fifth Floor (Chestnut) of beautiful carved
chairs both semi-upholstered and made entirely of
wood-oak and walnut, mostly, and with designs
of the Jacobean or Renaissance periods in pre-
dominance
Any carved chair we have can be polychromed
(or 'hgh-lighted as it is often styled to harmon
ize with any desired scheme of decoration.
For the dinng-room we have still a remark
able collection of sets of chairs in practically every
desirable period style.
Haven't you noticed how often home dining
room suit is all good except the chairs? which are
naturally first to show hard wear.
We will sell you dining-room chairs without
the other pieces if you wish.
There is also desirable variety of choice in the
handsome single Cor occasionally dining-room
chair, which it is now quite the fad to add to the
regular set, and which has wonderful rejuvenat-
ing effect on room tending toward the passe in
appearance.
Space fails in these columns to describe (but

A Small Chair Is a Big Thing

in its contribution to the grace of hospitality to the
beauty and the distinction in appearance, to the
elementary features of physical comfort and serv
ice, in your home!
To your guest, after the welcoming hand, the
hospitable chair comes next in its representation of
your feeling toward him.
The hand and the feeling could be all right,
even if the chair were wrong, but somehow an all
right chair will get the feeling most
fully.
For complete relaxation and enjoyment in the
hour of cozy, confidential chat in the family circle,
a good chair is supremely necessary.
The poet LongfelloW is said to have written
"The Psalm of Life" while sitting between two
windows. 1t would be interesting to know what he
sat in when composing those smooth and beautiful
stanzas of "The Chidren's Hour; such, for
instance as
"They climb into
Ger armsan back of chais;
IL o escape, they surround
They to be everywhere
But one thing can be guessed at-he certainly
sat while writing and must surely have sat at his
easel

inply as though she fears she may be the first or
the last to make such modest demand on the huge
resources of the Wanamaker Furniture Sael
Or perhaps she may imagine that an enter

What would the Home be without the Chair?
Since the Wanamaker Furniture Sale serves
the Home to its remotest corner, what would the
Sale itself be without the Chair?
No better index of the greatness of an indi-
vidua can be seen than in the enthusiastic thor
oughness with which he throws himself into each
separate part of his work. as though it were the
only work he had in the world (which it IS, during
the period that his hand is upon ).
Lesser men skim over detail trusting to "get
by with ga lick and promise" and some chairs
are made just like that.
We are sorry to say that they look and wear
just like that" But they are never found in
Wanamaker's.
The best index of the greatness of Furni-
fure Sale is the fhor0ughness of provision and

UNEMPLOYMENT |.
CONDITIONS NOT !.
BAD AS REPORTED.
! .,,.ary
ysence Finds the Situation
Hopeful AS a Whole
1000, 900 JOBS ARE WANTED
Estimated That at all Times
100000 Are Out of Work
Mostly From Choice

New York. Sept. 30.--A new air of
hopefulness that prosperity Is just
around the corner permeated the I'M
employment conference tonight. It
came from a realization that condi.
tions are not nearly so bad as had
been supposed Secretary Hoover ex-
pressed the unanimous view when he
declared that the conference after
four days deliberations, had passed
the experimental stage and could be-
regarded as a success.
lt' came to light that jobs must be
found for 100000 wage earRers be-
fore employment conditions are re-
stored to normal The delegates had
supposed that jobs would have TO be
found for nearly twice that number.
That figure developed from announ-
cement by the committee on unem-
ployment statistics and unemployment
in the United States at this time Is
not less than 100000 nor more than
1000 900. This is a sharp reduction
ago by the Department Of Labor In
response to Senate resolution. when
ii was held that about $3.50, 900 wage
earners had been displaced
Even in normal prosperous times
there is unemployment due to the
natural turnover Of labor. illness OF
workers and the like. This amounts,
it is estimated, to not less than l,500.-
600 as an average. On this basis it is
figured that normal conditions will
be restored If provision is made for
not less than 1000 900 and not more
than 2,500.00J to go back to work.
That the unemployment conference
by its constructive measures will be
able &c stimulate industry and public
work TO an extent where 100000
wage earners can be put back on
payrolls is the firm belief of those
participating in the. sessions.
