It is known as the Wills Range. To see it is to instantly awaken a desire to climb it. Underneath the north windows is the park of oaks, lindens, tulips and maples, all tall and old, overtopping the roof of at least one of the old buildings said to have been built a hundred years ago. A few hollyhocks and scarlet geraniums and bachelor's buttons fringe the paths. Honey bees and humming birds flit drowsily from bush and flower and rcposeful ness begets dreams that yet do not shut out the sight of the far-off mountains and their invitation for a climbing expedition. So it must be always to some of us to live up to opportunity and climb every mountain top, however difficult, that will enable us to see farther and do our work better.

Central) 'ANAMAKER furniture has always been a good investment. But it was never such a good investment as it is today. At the risk of repetition we desire to point out that the value of almost all the furniture in this August sale has gone up since we bought it, and it will certainly be a long time before it will come down. To anybody who needs furniture or who is likely to need fur niture in a good while the advantage of buying it now should be clear. We do not say this because we have furniture to sell. We have no furniture that we are not glad to have. We have never had such a quantity of furniture in any sale, and our one re gret is that we have not more of the same kind at the prices. In the face of the opportunities which this sale presents and of the outlook in the market, had you not better look to the needs of your home? . When you get down to that question, your "common sense will tell you that if you are to make sure of getting the best return for your investment you simply cannot afford to ignore the greatest fur niture sale in the world.
