" without disparagement of others, the following 1. No other city in the United States has so 'large a retail store in any one building. 2,-The spacidus building is not a combination of old buildings put together, with floors not on a level and confusing staircases. " 3. It is a structure specially built upon a simple plan of straight lines inside and out, that all people, young and old, may go anywhere in it with perfect safety. 4. Its fireproof construction leaves nothing but hardwood floors to burn. It has four twenty-foot-square brick fire towers from top to bottom, within one and a half minutes' reach from any part of any floor to the smokeproof stone staircase all the way down to the ground, so' that people can shop safely on any upper floor and get out ,of the building quickly and safely, if need be. 5. Its situation on four city streetsgives abun dant exits to out-of-doors,, and its scientific plans afford perfect ventilation. 6. Its forty-eight elevators, all accessible to the public, are of hydraulic construction, automatically lifted and lowered by water. 7. The conveniences and comforts the building 'affords to the public are manifest in -washrooms, check rooms, writing and rest rooms, telephone and telegraph and postoffice station, hospital with doc tors on duty from morning until night, and dining rooms; and the whole store at stated times, by rea son of the great St. Louis Exhibition Organ, im- K proved and enlarged, in the Grand Court, becomes a vast music palace. 8. A delightful peculiarity of the building is that, on account of its arrangements and its fullness of things to see, everybody feels "at home." 9. People are free "to browse about" at will pr, . by calling at the Inquiry Office next to the Juniper Street entrance, can visit everywhere, taken by the . Store guides.

For some years past we have had reason to know that Philadelphians and many other customer friends not Philadelphians, show a personal kind of pride in our Furniture Sales they seem to re gard them as one of the great business distinc tions of Philadelphia and they are glad that Phila delphia, the city of homes, is the home of the world's greatest sale. During the past two days of Inspection and Courtesy this feeling seems to have been more pro nounced than ever. We can say there is good reason for it. Anybody can see that there is good reason for it. A Sale That Stands Alone It is impossible for any one of ordinary observa tion to go through these stocks and not recognize that in extent, quality, variety, beauty and 'desirableness they so far surpass any other collection as to stand entirely alone. Somehow, we always seem to be able to do hings better the oftener we do them. This is not sajd in conceit, but as an illustration of the increasing power and mastery that come from long experience and sound development along the proper lines. . The result is a Furniture Sale that answers every requirement within reason as no other sale possibly can. We don't think there is need to stress that point any further. The people have eyes and they know how to use them. They have heads, and they know how to use them. Long before today they began to use their eyes and their heads in judging furniture sales. We may say we are perfectly satisfied with their decision. The greatest thing that ever came from their judgment of the furniture situation is this August Sale. The size of it is the measure of their faith in our words, our goods and our service. The character of it is our interpretation of what all worth-while people desire in furniture-quality, furniture-beauty and furniture-value. Tomorrow Is the Third Day of Inspection and Courtesy Thursday will be the fourth. Furniture Inay be chosen. on any one of these Courtesy days, but no deliveries will be made before August 1, and all transactions will go into effect from that date.

(Main loor, Chentnut) Imp k Reproducing Piaros Are Mealy Different from any other reproducing or player-pianos' made. Where. these other instruments record a note from the im pression made by a punch on the roll, the Ampico records it through the vibration of the string. In the former case the impression ends when pressure is re moved from the piano key, no matter how long after that the sound of the actual note may still be in the air. With the Ampico the note is recorded as long as it sings, us the wire vibrates as long as the faintest whisper of sound remains. It must be plain to any one that the Ampico method is the most faithful in reproducing the human touch and all the ex pression of the hand-played performance. maker's only.
