The shortest.month in the year has given to the
$vorld some of its-greatest men.
Very few names ever die of such as lived to
Berve their fellow-men.
Heroic, conscientious endeavor, in spite of
difficulties, to work out to success a fixed purpose,
is well worth the struggle and .privations.
To remember the birthdays of the men to whom
this country is so much indebted is well worth
"while.

asking more for the same grades at wholesale than the price we arr selling them for
at retail. The explanation is simple enough we bought these habut4is ourselves in
Japan.

People sometimes ask us what is the secret of having such a
wonderful sale as this. There is no secret in it that we know of except
the open secret of having the goods.
That is the whole thing having the furniture that, people
want. It takes one thing above all to make a Wanamaker Furniture
Sale and that is a "Wanamaker Furniture Stock.
The reason why this Sale has surpassed all former ones is be
cause we have a greater stock of furniture than we have ever had; in
other words, a greater stock of furniture of theNkind that people de
sire. It is an impressive sight to see all these thousands and thou
sands of sample pieces and it is still more impressive to observe how
well selected they are, how remarkably varied they are and how
responSive they are to every requirement within reason.

and ulsters who are buylne bed

fitted up nhen HE comes back

already.
Ills room, when he left It. wag
probably tsoniethlng of "a frlrht,
from the view point of a deco
rator, but from tho viewpoint of
a rcat fellow It vas pretty rood.
Of course. It mny haAe been fur
nished with things donated by
moro Important members of the
family. Some of the mors pre
tentious things were opportunely
tab aged from amongst the dis
cards of hlo big slater's apart
ment when ehfe got in the One
new period suit.
But it was only from a real
prandfather that he could have
Inherited Euch a real phenomenon
of cabinet-work as thothlror
which ecrved him for a "chif
fonier" with the drawers that
could be pulled out, Eometimes,
but nerr pulled out and pushed
back again unlecK one knew the
"combination." It waa a "safe,"
all right, for INS things, be
cauc, as well aa being tem
peramental, It was also inclined
to bo tragic, so that nobody but
himself could operate it without
danger to life and limb.
Ills bed was a good one in its
day. and Is good enough still, a
many bc'ds go but not Just good
enough for him no. not any
moi-p. For he went away a boy,
or little more than a boy, but he
Is comlnsr. or has come home a
man, with a new dignity upon

to him.
We remarked In one of our
former notices of this Furniture
Halo how slgnlncant It was to
find In so many letters from
'over there" tho wonderful eentl
ment for home "after all ; no
place like the vlcf 1iome place."
But we must admit we did not
then realize fully how much this
means to thousands of people.
Now wo know better, because the
new and deeper honie sentiment

They are getting HIS room
fixed up as It bhould be.
They are putting Into it the
best things they can afford, but
they feel that nothing Is too good
for him.
It Is a fine thing to do.
It Is belngvdone In euch a fine,
sincere way that we will not
cheapen the sentiment that
prompts It by making an ordinary
adertlsement out of it, beyond
Baying that we are here to help
sincerely in th doing of it.
