There Is a Lot to Be Learned From
You -Have Got to Have a Grip
r on Yourself"
to enable you to undertake the new and important
things constantly going on in these large enter
prises, now practically one, in this city and in New
Xork at the old A. T. Stewart stand and its
adjoining new building, where the sister Store to
this occupies two full New York blocks on Broadway
from Tenth to Eighth street and from Broadway
to Fourth Avenue.
To operate these three great buildings, always
necessary to be full of fresh goods from every part
of the world, requiring such large quantities of new
goods every month, year after year, naturally gives
us, to some extent, one of the commanding positions
in securing 'a choice, and sometimes control, of
'certain productions and, still further, the best1' terms
to a cash buyer.
Our Stores make their best speech for us in the
displays they make of their fullness, newness and
attractiveness.
, The American mills and workshops, having
been called off from Government work, are now
engaged upon orders for our Stores; and England,
France, Switzerland and Italy are slowly getting
ready- to give us things we used to get, which were
not made in America, but should be and will be
Some day.
t Whatsoever is to be had worth having, within
limitations stated above, will be in our Stores as
early as possible and priced at proper prices.

TN THE individual we call it personality.
In the home we call it atmosphere.
It is true that the individuals who live
in it make the home. But it is also true in a
marked degree that by a reflex action the
home, that is to say, its equipment, makes
them. Such is the inescapable influence of
the things which constantly surround us.
A'
Your furniture's conribution to the
atmosphere of your home depends largely
upon you.
It is a pity to see furniture which jars
the tone of a home. And there is no excuse
for it any more than there is an excuse for
furniture lacking the substantial elements
of quality and service.
Wc can say without boasting that our
furniture service, particularly our Furni
ture Sales, have left nobody an excuse for
having furniture of a kind that is false and
unlovely in design or unstable in character.
We have built this furniture business
and especially these furniture sales, believed
to be the largest retail business events in
the world, upon a groundwork of stable
quality and true and beautiful design.
And that is the reason" why they have
grown and grown until they are something
of a commercial phenomenon.
This is the time of all times for you to
ask yourself whether the furniture you
have in your home is of the kind that
enables you to get from your home all you
are entitled to in comfort, in service, -in
beauty and in satisfaction.
But you cannot answer that question
properly until you 'come to this February!
