Almost All of Us Are Boys
Until We Grow Up
and some of us never grow up sufficiently to take
advantage of the experience of our elders.
Far too often many of us will not be
persuaded to profit by any experience except our
own."
We saunter along following the "will o' the
wisp" until it is too late to save ait inheritance
or to keep our health, with all the opportunities
to study the experiences of others and draw from
their dearly bought experience, saying, like a
boy, "I never know anything until I feel it inside
of me."
B. Franklin always said he paid too dearly
for his whistle.
In spending one's money, the man that wants
to sell us his horse, house or coat is not always
the most disinterested adviser.

There is only one Wanamaker Furniture Sale and no
other sale just like it.
There is only one kind of furniture good enough for a
Wanamaker Furniture Sale and that is Wanamaker
furniture.
The Wanamaker Furniture Sale is the most remarkable
illustration of cause and effect that we know of in the world
of merchandising. The furniture is the cause, the sale now
known and acknowledged to be the largest single event in
retail business is the effect. '
It is hardly necessary to say that the furniture which
brought about such a phenomenal result simply had to be
unquestionably the best in the country. That is something
which, stands to reason.
What we now want to say, and to say as emphatically
as we can, is that furniture of the land that has made these
the foremost events in retail business will be here tomor
rowthe first Say of inspection and advance choosing in
magnificent supply, to make this February Sale worthy of
its great predecessors. To be worthy of them it must sur
pass them, and it shall.
There has been much talk of market difficulties and
scarcities and the like, especially from those who have been
handicapped by such things. We have no difficulties to talk
about, but we have the goods and plenty of them, and they
are the goods that people want and tomorrow is the day that
will prove it beyond yea or nay.
The Goods
Approximately five acres of floor space in this building
are filled with the best examples of cabinet work produced
in America together with some choice pieces brought from
abroad.
These five acres are the floor samples of the stock back
of the sale.
They are a sight worth seeing by anybody with a
home and a shred of interest in the same.
They are an education, an object lesson in the cultural
advance which is being steadily made in the equipment of
the American home.

To the real home-loving heart, whether of man or
woman, there will be something of a delight, an inspiration.
The Fifth Floor is sumptuous in its display of luxurious
upholstered pieces for living rooms and libraries. It is
charming in the number of quaint, beautiful, odd and individual-looking
hall pieces which it holds. The great bulk of
the dining-room and bedroom suits and pieces are shown on
the Sixth Floor and cover probably ninety per cent of its
entire area from Market to Chestnut streets and from Thir-,
teenth to Juniper.
There is a particularly attractive showing of wicker
furniture on the Seventh Floor.
The sale comprises our entire stock of furniture, in
many cases already much below the market value.
The one thing which thoughtful and intelligent people
should keep in mind is that whatever the saving is it is ,
backed by a quality that registers 100 per cent to the good.
Tomorrow will be the first of three days of advance
presentation.
Tomorrow, or on any of the other days of inspection,
customers are free and welcome to make selections, but all
i transactions will date from Monday, February 2nd.
