Central) The People Are Reading It to Their Advantage These Days of Inspection ANYBODY who comes into actual contact with the furniture situation today cannot fail to recognize that This Is Not an August Furniture Sale It Is THE August Furniture Sale In this there is nothing new or strange. It is the usual thing. We refer to it because in a sense it expresses the whole character and meaning of the Sale. And very naturally it was the first thing noticed 'by the people who came here today, the first Day of Courtesy and Inspection, to see the great August Sale stocks and to make their selections. All business events go back to first principles that are very simple. It is as simple as it is true that in order to make a Sale like this a store, must first prove beyond yea or nay to the people that it has the goods. Nearly everybody now understands that the surest thing about a Wanamaker Furniture Sale is that the goods are back of it. The people expect to find it so, but even those who expect wonderful things from a Wanamaker Sale had a surprise in store for them today at the stocks that are back of this one. They can now understand why we have been so insistent and emphatic in telling them in print that we have the goods. They can understand why we repeat that statement emphatically today We Have The Goods One hundred and twenty-six bedroom suits, mostly of the fine, medium priced kind, all from one maker, are one item of the new purchases. We counted 450 bedroom suits on the Sixth Floor, with many more still to come in. Not far away there are in round figures 275 dining-room suits. One week ago we had 5220 pieces of living-room, library, hall and novelty furniture on the Fifth 'Floor alone, and hundreds of pieces have been coming in the meantime. Some Foulard and Chiffon Frocks Reduced When a woman speaks affectionately of "a little frock," you may be almost sure it's a foulard she is thinking of. Nothing works so generously for its right in the wardrobe, and nothing is cooler or more comfortable. Both the foulards and printed chiffons are rather dashing and effective, being largely navy and black with white figures; then there are a few checked taffetas also. Mostly in excellent condition.
