In the more than a quarter of a century intervening thousands of families have adopted the Linde slogan and built their successes upon the same foundation. Wc can look ab-iitt this community and point to hundreds of men and women who came to us tor the furnishings which formed the nucleus of their homes. Today they are successful and happy because they SAVED MONEY in the beginning. The store that fails to encourage thrift among its patrons is a menace. So-called "easy terms" are really the greatest hardship that can be imposed upon a young man and woman starting out to make a home. Such "accommodations" encourage waste, carelessness in determining values and reckless buying. Their never-failing accom paniment is high prices and low quality. We have consistently advocated every angle nf the thrift habit by precept and practice, because, first, wo believed in it; second, it was a public benefit; tliiul, it helped our customers to learn a lesson of great value to themselves; fourth, it enabled us to give much more for a dollar than any other stoic in Philadelphia. The result is the largest Furniture and Carpet Store in Pennsylvania, the biggest savings and the most stupendous values known to the Furniture trade. When wc guarantee to sue a buyer from 10 to 50 per cent in this sale we base the statement upon sound business principles. It is not an idle boast You can very readily figure it out joursclt Our location and expense Saving is 100,000 a year. Our losses are nothing, for our customers are THRIFTY folks. They pay. We sell Furniture, Rugs nnd Cnrpets exclusively. That makes a further saving, The February Furniture Sale is not required to make up the loss of the jewelry department in a dull January, We have no expensive concerts, art exhibits and menageries. THESE MUST BE PAW FOR BY FURNI TURE BUYERS. It is really one of the most curious things about human nature that intelligent people will pay outrageously exorbitant prices far beyond real value just because of a name or convenience or a fancied accommodation. The assortments in this sale are staggering Wc arc prepared with thousands and thousands of pieces for the biggest month we ever had. Our enormous store and warehouses would not hold the stocks. We were forced to rent another storage house. Every piece is reduced. Our preparedness brings them to you at the rock-bottom before the advance prices. Don't THINK of buying until you SF-E how much we can save you. Store Open Monday, Wednesday and Friday Evenings Until 10 o'clock' W H 35 HURT AS BUFFALO EXPRESS IS WRECKED p. R. R.
