Don't Tell Dad
Magazine editors who praise their own literary
offerings pile rapturous adjective upon adjective
until they achieve a breathless "editorial blurb."
Unless they can promise something "startling,
unique, electrical" that "ushers in a new era," there
seems little use of saying anything.
And yet there is a short, simple story in the
September Delineator that should interest the fathers
and mothers of boys and girls.
For Some parents t may bring a new understand
ing. This little story called "Don't Tell Dad" com
mences on page 22 of your September Delineator.
The men in the million Delineator homes will also
be interested in "The Land of Bluff," an appreciation
of America, by Ibanez, author of "The Four Horse
men of the Apocalypse."

Quantity
While we have not pro
cured so many large close
out lots and special pur
chases as in former years,
we have steadily accumu
lated a large quantity of
Furniture from our regu
lar sources of supply se
curing such special ad
vantages as were possible,
but considering that our
chief advantage is in the
fact that we bought early,
took all the makers could
deliver, and had our great
warehouse at Ninth and
Poplar streets well filled
at the start of the Sale.
We also are receiving ship
ments almost every day of
Furniture ordered months
ago. We wish, of course,
that future shipments
were more certain, but we
have ample quantities for
August.
Designs
You doutbtless know
that great strides have
been made in recent years
in improving the designs
in American Furniture.
In Grand Rapids, for in
stance, while there is very
active rivalry and keen
competition for prefer
ment, there is a great or
ganization of community
interest, for promoting
the general welfare and to
encourage a constant
striving for higher artistic
ideals. And the great Ex
positions have brought all
their products together,
and spurred them to
greater effort. The re
sult can be seen in this
Store beautiful Furni
ture, in exact reproduc
tions or artistic modifica
tions of the desigr of mas
ter craftsmen of genera
tions past.
Variety
Herein is the wonderful
strength and attractive
ness of the Sale herein
its superiority over other
sales. The necessity for
energetic action long in
advance of the Sale has re
sulted in making up for
the lack of large quantities
of the same designs, by
"hustling" for a larger
number of different styles.
Therefore, the variety is
more extensive than ever,
and the assortment on the
selling tloor is constantly
changing. New things
