The Goods in This August Furniture Sale
Astonishment Even to
A Weil-Known Portrait
Painter, a Few Days Ago
when asked the secret of his successful work,
said: "I first get a correct mental picture of
what I am to put on canvas, and from that
instant I have only to mix paint and use my
eyes and brushes accurately. 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.

Men in the Business
Tomorrow We Begin to Send Them Home
1-0 DISTINCTIVELY American expres--L
siorfever found such immediate and
universal popularity in England, or in
fact, all over the English-speaking world, as
the homely phrase "to deliver the goods."
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.
