Seeing Is Believing

There is only one way whereby you can
realize the magnitude, the diversity, the
beauty, the serviceableness Of this sale-that
is to see the furniture.
We might write $4,000 to 10000 words
telling you what a marvellous stock of furni-
ture this is how captivating in interest," how
desirable in character, how truly modelled and
lastingly made, but nothing that we might say
could carry such force, nothing could speak
with the same convincing effect as the $4,000
to 10000 pieces of furniture here on these
floors.
There is great deal in that statement
when you think it over.
It goes to show that the strength of this
sale is where it should be-not in words, but
in woods and workmanship.

One Sure Wau to Realize What This February Furniture Sale
MeUnS TO You Is TO Sc

THIS February Furniture Sale is surprise
l. even to those who thought they knew
how great Wanamaker Furniture Sale
can be.
In general way, you may know-almost
everybody does-that it is the one great,
original unduplicated sale, but you cannot
know how unequaled and distinctive it really
is, how different it is from all others, how far
it surpasses anything else supposed to be like
it, unless you come in and see the stocks from
which it derives all it's individualness, all it's
strength and supremacy.
How true this statement is, people who
were here today can best appreciate.
They came here confident of finding a
sale great and interesting beyond comparison
but it was only when they saw the goods that
they realized how wonderful and incompar-
able it all is.
