The Greatest August Furniture

More Than Once It Was
Told in London
S,
that an English nobleman who had risen from
humble life was taunted by narrow and jealous
acquaintances that he had been born a maker of
candles, as his father was a tallow chandler, and
that he replied:
"It is, true, sir,, and if you had been born a
maker of candles, you would still be a maker of
candles."
A surly, snarling man or woman, never get
ting on far, rarely wants to see others getting
on. The fact is they are often shunned by
people who would care to know them if it were
not for their.fault-finding and back-biting.
"Keep sweet, now," John Ellinger, a snarl
ing, growling dog of a man, used to say to him
self after he turned his life around the right
way, and it was not long until everybody saw
the change and loved him.
Keep sweet, and when we cannot encourage
the other fellow, still we can keep sweet and
keep still.
The Store has the Autumn smile on today.

While on the other hand, many a child and adult

No piano is "good enough" unless it is good enough

When Can People Buy Shoes So Low Again?
Some one very truthfully said the other day:
"Before-the-war times will never come again in this country."
It is to be hoped that shoes, like other merchandise, will'some day be lower in price than now, but whether they wilj
ever be so low as they were two or three years ago is doubtful. , . .
In our judgment, the Wanamaker Summer Sale of Shoes is the very best occasion likely to occur during the next
three or four years at least for men, vome(n and children to get good, sound, reliable shoes; shoes about which there is
no doubt of their quality, at low prices.
On avpi-v nnir of ytioti'h wnmsn' nnrl rinva shnpR in this snlfi ihp Ravine in at least. $2. A
Besides Summer shoes the sale includes several thousand pair of high shoes that will be good for Winter wear;
We have just largely re-enforced the $5.90 group of high shoes for men. $
Men's low shoes, $4.90, $5.90 and $6.90. Women's low shoes, $2.90, $3.90, $4.90 and $5.90, ;
Men's high shoes, $4.65 and $5.90. . Women's high shoes, $2.50, $2.90, $4.40 and $8.75,
Girls' and children s high and low shoes, $2.
