All of it is Wanamaker furniture of standard quality. The only difference between what the Sale was three weeks ago and what it is today is in the prices. All the single sets and pieces are now marked at half price, and there are thousands of such things to be disposed of during these remaining days of the Sale and every day will find new lots added. The variety comprises pieces from every division of our regular stocks. There are scores and scores of chiffoniers and chifforobes, toilet tables, beds, somnoes and night stands. Serving tables, china closets, individual chairs for bedrooms, dining rooms, halls, libraries ariM living rooms. It is as if some good class, moderately sized furniture store should offer you a choice of its entire floor samples at half the lowest prices for which the goods can be regularly sold. The only difference is that these oddments at half price are shown along with our regular matched-up stocks, which still afford splendid choice at savings of 10 to 50 per cent. A most remarkable feature of the collection at half price is the tremendous selection of desirable things at the figures so many homekeepers naturally think of paying. In serving tables there are sixteen different kinds between $11.50 and $28. There are twenty-three different kinds of beds between $20 and $90. There are twenty-five different kinds of china closets at $17.50 to $150. Bear in mind that all these prices are half the regular rates. Of course, price ranges and number of pieces will vary from clay to day, according as pieces are sold and others added. But the thing to keep in inind above all others is that the time for taking advantage of these oppor tunities is short only tomorrow and three more days of the sale now remaining. (Filth.
