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.

For if ever there was a stock of fur
niture that came as close as furniture
can well come to the Morris ideal, we
believe that this is the stock.
For our part we have put nothing
into this Sale that we did not know to be
useful and believe to be as beautiful as
it is practicable for it to be.
Nor is there anything in all the
thousands of pieces which does not rep
resent sound economy and real invest
ment value at its price.
This is furniture that stands for
usefulness, for beauty and for economy
in the truest and most beneficial sense,
of the words, and we might talk about it'
forever without saying anything better
than that about it or anything truer.
