Think of the Needs of Your Home Along With the Opportunities
Some of Our Friends
Remember Old Dr. Henry
Wayland
a learned and highly honored Philadelphia!!.
On one occasion he was lecturing to his class
in the college and one member of the class, not
quite satisfied with his argument on the subject
of miracles, hailed him on the street, and to
make what he said practical, asked: "Doctor
Wayland, what would you say if I stated that as
I was coming up College Street I saw that lamp
post at the corner dance?" and the Doctor
quietly replied: "I should ask where you had
been, my son." "
So many people always want more
testimony. They accept what they hear with
reservations.
The only way to understand some facts is
to personally examine all that relates to them
and live with them.
Tens of thousands know this Store from
years of experience with it.

High Time for Fall Suits
Many Young Women Think
And the new tailored suits hae come and nie all :eady for their
future owners.
There are beautiful fashions this jear, long, slim lines, with rows
of buttons or braid to emphasize them. The coats, are three-quarter
length or longer and often, in the finer suits, theie are side panels
trimmed with braid or fur.
Large fur collars or small neckpieces are frequently seen and there
are plenty of untrimmed suits for young women who want to use their
own furs.
Starting with sturdy grayish tweeds at $43.50 (just the thing for
every doyr school or college wear), there are jersey sports suits, soft
oxford mixtures, small checks, severely tailored men's suitings (some
even have a binding of narrow silk braid), and so on up to the hand
somest serges, tricotines and velours with wide braid or fur trimming,
the highest price being $200.
In a word, there is every kind of suit here that the young women
will need, and a.t almost every price, and we have been particularly
careful to choose the best of each kind, even going so far as to have
changes made in certain models to add to the attractiveness.
All are in sizes 14 to 20.

New Plaid Suitings

this is the sale to buy it in.
We have said this before, but it is worth
repeating, especially as August days are
passing quickly there are only eight more
days of the Sale left.
Now is the time and this is the sale.
We might write a great deal without
saying anything more true. For that is
really the most significant thing about the
furniture situation it is the one fact that
stands out beyond all others.
We still haye a magnificent stock in this
Sale. We shall'have an amplitude to the end.
But every piece of furniture our possession
in This August Furniture Sale
will be marked 10 to 70 per cent higher after
August.
Prices of practically all furniture have
advanced. None of the goods in this sale can
be bought to sell for the regular prices that
prevailed here before August to say nothing
of selling them at the reduced August prices.
This is the fault of nobody in particular.
It is in strict accord with the law of supply
and demand. As things are now the people
want more furniture especially more of
our kind of furniture than the workshops
are able to turn out. You know what happens
when the supply is unequal to the demand.
As to what is back of a sale at this store, you
can form an estimate in different ways. One
good way is to gauge the number of dining
room suits in it. Measured in that light, this
is still a Sale of abundant supplies, despite
here for anybody to count them.
Of some of these we have just
one; of others as many as five
duplicates.
All are at reduced prices and
no other collection comes near
enough to them to make com
parison worth while.
This is so very patent that no
body questions it in sincerity.

suit of fumed oak buffet, serv

A Saving of 20 Per Cent on
Persian Carpets Is
Remarkable Todag
It results from a straight 1 eduction of a number of Persian
Mahals in our own stocks.
We reduced these pieces in order to strengthen a recent purchaspjri
of carpets which we have been selling at very attractive prices.
The selection is most interesting and the values extraordinary

at anything like the same low prices.
From 10.11x7.1 feet at $197 to 14x10.4 feet at $4.35. In between
are pieces at $229, $247, $257, $269, $275, $279, and so on.

ON SALE
THE
ORE
pianos newlg reduced
pianos taken in exchange
other used pianos
This Store originated the August and January Piano Sales of
used, taken-in-exchange and newly reduced pianos. It was our custom
to put our accumulation of these instruments on sale only in those
two months January and August.
The sales grew until vvc established the vvoild's recoid of 295
pianos sold at retail to individuals in one day. Only the most extraor
dinary values could have made such a record possible.
Then reoplc began asking us to sell our taken-in-exchange pianos
in between the stated sales months. It Hlncd hardly fair to ask
these people to wait until a stated pcrioao buy their pianos, so
recently we have been selling these pianos as fast as they can be
put in first-class playing condition at the Schomacker piano factory.
CTRI
August is a month in which many piano "bargains" are adver
tised. Some of them me real bargains, but many are not bargains
at any pi ice. Before purchasing it will be worth your while to see
what Wanamaker's has for you. .
Kas monthly terms on any piano you may select here.
We have at this time about 100
pianos that are newlg reduced
or taken in exchange
They comprise grand pianos, uptight pianos and plajer-pianos,
all lowered in price in the same proportion that made our August
and January sales famous.
Theso pianos will be on sale tomorrow and as long as they arc
unsold, but the values ure so unusual that we do not expect them to
stay long. Of course, the pick of them 'will go first.
