"A stone it for the wall will not
be left by the roadside."
Persian Proverb. '
Much wisdom the distillation of much think
ing and long experience is in those old proverbs of
the wonderful East. v
"A stone lit for the wall," anything needed in
the building up of the world or of any part of it
will not be long neglected the hands that will put
it in its proper place are always sure to come
upon it.
The phenomenal development of the now
famous and universally copied
WANAIAKER
FURNTTURE SALE
is all duo to the fitness, the suitableness, the de
sirableness of the furniture itself the people
know that the furniture in these sales, figura
tively, is "fit for the wall," specifically and liter
ally fit for the home, and it soon finds its place
there.
This has now been the rule for thirty years
or more, the only variation being that we are
sending more of the furniture home every season.
Our word for it that the coming
February Furniture Sale
will bring such a marvelous supply of "furniture
fit for the home" that nobody needing furniture
can afford not to come in and see it. The .first
opportunity to do this will be on Thursday, Janu
ary 29th, the first of three days of preliminary
inspection and courtesies, when all the displays
will be ready.
Selections may be made on any one of the three
inspection days, but they will be dated from Mon
day, February 2d.

The Best Argument We Know Of
for a Good Overcoat These Days
is the man without one. We are glad to say that at this very time, when it means
so much to any man who needs a new coat to have a good selection to choose from,
we have a good selection to show him in the standard, fashionable models, "at $40
to $100.
In addition, we have a limited number of good, warm, double-breasted ulster
and ulsterette overcoats specially priced at $55, which means a saving of about
$10 from the normal price.
But the man who means to have one of these must come for it at once.

Your Dollars Are Real Dollars Again in
the Sale of Hosiery and Underwear
It is true that the cost of living is high, and going higher, but it is equally true that this
condition can be circumvented to some extent with wise expenditure.
For example, here is over $72,000 worth of hosiery and underwear, for every member
of the family and every season of the year, put on sale at
A Little Above Half Price
A great many of these garments
are less than' half price, but as
some are a little more we make
the statement conservative.
Doubly conservative when you
consider that the savings are based
on wliat these goods have been
regularly selling for. Future
prices will be still higher.
These are chiefly our own regular
goods reduced, with some good
"seconds" from mills we know to
be reliable. Not all sizes in each
group, but all sizes in the lot.
It is a downright waste of money
to let a sale like this go by without
taking advantage of it.
