There Is a Golden Maxim in Surely the TpHE words of William Morris are - worthy repeating, at this time of furniture buying. "Have nothing," he wrote, "in your homes that you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful." Here surely is the essence of a golden rule in homefurnishing. In fact, with the addition of a pro vision regarding economy, or invest ment value, his words sum up the whole philosophy of furniture choosing. We can tell you that you have never had such a field in which to put these finest principles of furniture buying into practice as that which is pro vided by the stocks in this August Sale. The Little Pieces in This Corner Are Something More than, a few introductory remarks to the advertising page. They bear to you, at your breakfast table, a courteous Good Morning from headquarters and the chiefs of the management, your servers. By virtue of the friendliness and unity of interest that have grown up between the Store and its patrons and the visiting public, during the long period of over half a century, they convey to you now and then ideas and experiences gathered from many sources while doing "day's work" in establishing this different kind of Store which may be of use to others. To be exact, it is fifty-eight and one-half years since the hand that writes this unlocked the doors for the first time on 'Market Street, in this city, and on Market Street the same people (at the head) have been ever since, as they are yet to this day, all of which we set down here with hearty thankfulness and only as simple facts. We long ago highly resolved that right here in Philadelphia this first new kind of Store should be the Store of America and a fitting representation to the world of the American system of storckecping.
