Mae LAST FEW DAYS OF THE FURNITURE SALE-l to a Taking Care of Today Is the Best Way to Take Care of Tomorrow The President's veto of the Daylight Repeal bill seemed to be the proper thing at the present time, When there is a shortage in labor and a scarcity of food. In spite of everything, scarcity of raw materials that enter into fabrics or of articles of food would of, itself naturally raise prices; but it is intolerable tc allow the second-hand dealers and bankers to itore and speculate with food products to add to the war's heavy burdens. Visitors to the Rhine have had pointed out to them near Coblenz the site of an old palace of a high official, who, during a famine,, for a long period stored grain and refused to sell,it at any price. The people became so enraged and infuriated that to escape them he took refuge in his stone fortress on' the Rhine, where he was punished for his selfishness by losing his life to thousands of hungry rats. Public sentiment with or without hungry rats can meet almost every situation. t It is our best judgment that, aftei! so many Summer holidays, and next Saturday holiday coming next Before it, Labor Day, next Monday, is best used by "all hands on deck and at work." Therefore this business place will not be closed on Labor Day.

(Flnt Floor, Market) There Not a Moitient to Be Lost THE Wanamaker August Sale of Furniture, 1919, has been the greatest in our history possibly the greatest sale of furniture in the history of any store. We have sold, more furniture than at any other time. We have sold better furniture. We have secured greater savings for our customers. We have repeatedly pointed out that the reduction figures cover ing our whole stock range from 10 to 50 per cent, and all the furniture is reduced 10 per cent or more from its standard price of July. This may seem not very great in view of the extraordinary claims made by various stores that also have adopted the Wanamaker idea of having an August Sale of furniture. But it does amount to a great deal more than appears. Ten per cent reduction upon Wanamaker furniture means ten dollars out of every hundred and does actually mean it. It means 10 per cent less than our lowest July price. September prices, the market now shows inexorably, are bound to be higher than July prices were. The actual savings now, therefore, as against September, seem likely to rate 20 to 30 per cent but we have claimed only 10 per cent. Comparison will show how much better this actual 10 per cent is than 33 to 75 per cent claimed by not scrupulous dealers. But only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to get the advantage of it. $255 for a 4-pieco Adam suit in antique ivory enamel bed, bureau, chiffonier and dressing table. $265 for a 4-piece Adam suit of mahogany bed, bu reau, chiffonier and dressing table. $286 for a 4-piece antique ivory and decorated suit bed, bureau, wardrobe and dressing table. $293 for a 4-piece William and Mary suit of mahogany bed, bureau, wardrobe and dressing table. $300 for a '5-piece Colo nial suit in American wal nut twin beds, bureau, chiffonier and dressing table. $305 for a 4-piece William and Mary suit of American walnut bed, bureall, chif fonier and dressing table. $310 for a 4-pieco Adam Buit in antique ivory enamel bed, bureau, chiffonier and dressing table. $318 for a 4-piece William and Mary suit in American walnut bed, bureau, chif fonier and dressing table. $324 for a 4-piece Adam suit of mahogany bed, bu reau, chiffonier and dressing table. $332 for' a 5-piece Colo nial suit of mahogany twin beds, bureau, chiffonier and dressing table. $338 for a 4-piece post- Colonial suip of mahogany- bed,, bureau, chiffonier and dressing table. $355 for a 4-piece antique ivory enameled suit, Louis XVI design bed, bureau, wardrobe and dressing table. $360 for a 4-piece Louis XVI suit in walnut bed, bureau, wardrobe and dress ing table. $361 for a 4-piece Colo nial suit of mahogany bed, bureau, chiffonier and dress ing table. . $383 for a 5-piece William and Mary suit of mahogany twin beds, bureau, chif fonier and dressing table. $394 for a 5-piece Adam suit in antique ivory enamel C i twin beds, bureau, chif fonier and dressing table. $420 for a 4-piece Louia XVI suit in antique ivory, enamel bed, bureau, ward robe and dressing table. $440 for a 6-piece post Colonial suit of mahogany twin beds, bureau, chiffo nier, dressing table and night table. $445 for an 8-piece gray enameled Heppelwhite suit bed, bureau, wardrobo, dressing table, nightstand, chair, rocker and bench. , $486 for a 7-piece Chip-, pendale suit of 'mahogany twin beds, bureau, chiffo nier, dressine table, bench: .08 and chair. J m (Sixth Floor) tt Parable of The Wise Customer The New House and The Ten Rugs Came into the Store the other day a woman who knew some thing about the rug market "I am building a new home," said she, "and I want to get some rugs for it. The house will not be finished before December 1, but I want to buy the rugs now." So she chose ten fine domestic rugs, both small and room sizes, and asked that they be delivered later. This is not an isolated case. Almost any day people who realize that the price of rugs will not soon come down, but may soon go up, arc buying them for future delivery.

' OVst Alslf) Piano Opportunity vs. Piano Chance J .5? M a M . " There is a very great difference between an portunity" and a "chance." In the purchase of any piano that is without a fixed and honorable reputation there is an element of chance, no matter how low the price may seem to be. But if you can get a dependable piano at a sub stantial reduction from its regular price, that is an OP PORTUNITY. We are disposing of a lot of pianos, player-pianos and reproducing pianos at reduced prices some of them very much leduced. v By far the greater. number are new instruments,'' but there are some used ones, all of which have been put in first-class playing condition at the Schomacker factory. Of probably four-score pianos, all but a half dozen- , are the famous makes that we sell here regularly. We know they are fine, and we back up the makers' guaram tees of satisfaction. Their names are household words in musical America. Here is an opportunity, then, to get one of the betfc pianos, player-pianos or reproducing pianos .'n the couii-5 try at a satisfying Baying.
