oh, Yes, Today
Viii Bring the Proof

of the overwhelming capacity satisfy the part Of
this Wanamaker August Sale of Furniture.
1t will make clear to any person who may be
attending his her first Wanamaker August Furniture
Sale where the idea of an August sale Of Furniture
came from:
From The Store, Of course, that boldly originate
and boldly carry merchandising projects Of Rnab
broachabfe MAGNITUDE.
1t will make clear why these great institutions
of furniture service (the word Sale, generally
understood is almost small for tben) have become
nationally famous and have been universally copied
II will be a day of disclosures Of
Such Varieties, Such Beauties, Such

in furniture as only one Sale bring and that one
the Wanamaker Sale.
Clearer proof than these magnificent displays Of
the furniture ITSELF and the prices the furniture
is not needed, show that sale in which people liv-
ing thousands of miles from Philadelphia buy their
furniture must offer extraordinary benefits TO those
living but few hours journey from WanamaLer

year you come into the
Store.
More furniture is to
be found on our floors,
more carried in our
warehouses, than any
two ordinary stores
find it necessary to
carry.
For the August Sales
these regular stocks are al
ways augmented by large
special purchases.
Today, If you come to-
day, and, indeed, for many
days thereafter, you can
draw on greater furniture
resources than were ever
assembled before by any
retail business organi-
zation.
So it may be said with
truth enough that, compared
even against other Wana-
maker furniture collections
for previous August Sales,
; the furniture in this Sale
that starts today is not like
that in other sales, in the
immensity of its quantities.
August furniture sales,
built on imitation--and inn
itation is perfectly respect
able, and indeed inevitable
where the power to excel is
lacking are being held
