I go at it, and keep at it, until the picture is finished." In London, a good woman erected in a busy thoroughfare a water fountain, still to be seen, with an inscription on the bench saying: Rest, But Do Not Loiter." Planning and planning work without pursuing it promptly is not only wastage of time, but tremendously hurtful to the little city of the mind. All the machinery of this great building is best kept in order by constant motion and inspections. ISignedl 0 jM Jtdy 31, 19t9.

It may not be classic some day it might become so but .there is no denying that it means a great deal. It surely means keeping faith. It means that a man or a party or a store comes up to its promise. It is "the very stuff" of service. It is the mark of things that do not fail those who depend upon them. In a literal sense we begin tomorrow "to deliver the goods" from the August Furni ture Sale, but in the larger sense this is and always has been "the sale that delivers the goods" and it is more so today than ever. We certainly have them to deliver. The goods in this sale are an astonish ment even- to men of experience and wide knowledge of the furniture business. Some of them thought there must have been a mistake in the figures we published giving the number of different types of pieces on the floor, but a walk through the stocks soon convinced them otherwise. As a matter of fact all the figures we printed were care fully ascertained and purposely understated. The Greatest Stock Ever Offered at Retail The truth is that there has never been such a stock of fine trustworthy furniture not alone in this city, but under any single roof in the world as we have here. And yet we have not one piece too many. Every piece of it is good for a store or a home to own because the value of practically all this furni ture is going up. About 80 per cent of the goods in this sale have been advanced 10 to 70 per cent in cost since we bought them. That is why a saving of even 10 per cent in this sale is so much more than it seems. The regular, original prices on almost all of this furniture were considerably below the regular prices now prevailing. i t H 1 The opportunity presented to you by this sale is that of buying the finest furniture in America at large savings on a rising market. I Your own good sense will tell you that it 'I is an opportunity to be taken quick advan tage of, in view of the increasing cost of furniture and all that goes to the making of it.
