' . - GOOD FRO TO II THE people,, generally, know from observa tion and experience that the Wanamaker Furni ture Sale is "the sale with the goods," meaning the sale in which everybody who wants worth-while furniture is surest of find ing it. . The sale with the goods" is not hard to recognize at any stage of its progress, but there, always comes a stage when it is absolutely un mistakable, a time when it is practically impossible NOT to recognize it. In the February Sale of 1920 we have now reached that stage. We havd come to the time when the EX TENT of the Wanamaker stocks begins to prove itself. Since the Sale began we have experienced a de mand which would have swept any other furniture store clean of supplies. But the Wanamaker Sale has withstood the demand and it is still, "the sale with the goods," and it will be "the sale with the goods" right up to the very last day and hour. (Fifth, Sixth and Se-enth Floor) Today, notwithstanding all the furniture, that we have sold within the past few weeks, there is not" a gap in the floors. Re serves have come in to keep the place filled with opportunity, and there are more reserves ready to be brought in as fast as they are needed. This is a furniture sale which must never fail those who depend upon it. In 'the face of existing conditions, it is to their interest to take advantage of it now for all it is worth and to do so right away. w wot Women9 s Afternoon Frocks of Taffeta Taffeta so important, so very important, in the -so important, so very important, in the bprinpr fashions has a very feminine trick of insisting upon its own way. To bring out its actual charm it must bo made up with cordings and gatherings, with plnKed mils, with bouffant sKirts and short sleeves, with every piquant touch. Ask to see some of the new taffeta dresses recently arrived in the Fashion Salons. They are in old blue, navy, black, gray and brown shades, and wo think the designers have succeeded fairly well with them. Prices $30 to $67.60. (Flrit Floor, Central) jdLL the water-colors and oil paintings in the Picture Store are sell ing while February lasts at 25 per cent less than regular prices. Among the oil paintings are works by C.
