Syria
HpHIS sale has long been a national event in its scope and
outreach.
But now its scope and service reach away over the
frontiers and across the seas into distant lands. From these
sales has gone furniture to the British Islands and as far t
east as China. Already from the one we are holding we have
.sent furniture to Winnipeg, Canada, and to Syria.
Our furniture lias gone to these places and to many
other distant places because the people who bought it saw
and knew that it was the best and most desirable furniture
they could buy for the money in any country that they
knew of.
So it is really a fact that this sale has lifted the cabi
I net-making business of America to a higher plane of excel
i lence and character, to a greater dignity, a finer prestige and
1 a world fame.
The other day we called it "the great American sale'
the one sale worthy of America's world pre-eminence in re
sources, in productivity, in wealth and economic importance.
To be worthy of this description, the sale must be
world-spanning in its service, and there is evidence that it is.
Essentially the Best Sale for People Near By -
Not only is it the great American sale and something of a world
sale, but it is both of these things owing to the fact that it is the best
sale for people in its immediate vicinity.
It has proven itself to be the best sale for people who want first of
all to feel sure as to the basic quality of what they are buying and who,
as a consequence, CAN feel sure of the tangibleness of what they are
saving. .
With this assurance of safety, any one buying furniture here starts
with an advantage that clears the air of doubt or mystery and gives a
confident poise to the judgment.
The certainty of quality, the reality of the saving after that the
whole thing becomes a question of suitableness, desirableness, general
appeal, harmony of line, beauty.
Wanamaker furniture sales are what they are largely because
tested by any one of these points Wanamaker furniture is given the
preference, and now it is preferred more than ever.

If You Had to Spend 23 Years of Your
Life in Bed
not only the bedroom furniture proper, but the mattress, pillow, bolster and spring
vould all seem of considerable importance to you.
Well, you do spend a period of time amounting to 23 years in your bed that
is to say the average individual does who attains to the normal span of 70 years, allow
ing eight hours out of the 24 to the business of sleep.
There is an old saying that "diet cures moro than the doctor," which ono may
or may not believe.
But there is no doubt as to the restorative and tranquilizing effect of good,
sound sleep and just enough, not too much, of it.
The mattress et cetera have much to do with the sweetness and soundness of one's
sleep.
The mattresses, pillows, bolsters and springs in this our February Sale are the
kind on which one can sleep sweetly and soundly and save good money to boot.
