One Mark of a Wanamaker Furniture Sale Is That It
Next Sunday Is the Anniversary
of Washington's Birthday
Let us begin to think at once of the best way to
celebrate it. r
By the laws of every state in the Union,
government offices everywhere are closed on the
birtliday of the Father of the Country.
It is customary, as when the Fourth of July
comes on Sunday, to observe the duty of the occasion
on the following day.
Were Philadelphia, the dear old Quaker City, to
pause and think over the days of Valley Forge,
Carpenters' Hall and the first meeting of the
convention of the delegates from the Thirteen States,
it would surely quicken our regard for the memory
of their leader in Revolutionary days, George
Washington.
If it is a fine day, Avhy should not the members
of the Union League ask the Manufacturers' Club
and the Art Club, all composed of representative
citizens, to turn out in full force and march down
Chestnut Street and around Independence Square
and return by Market Street, and let the citizens join
them in taking p. stand that Philadelphia will always
honor
George Washington
Feb. 10, 1020.

The Spring Silhouette as
Revealed in Young Women's
Fashions
is rather long and tight and
basque-like as to bodice, and
rather full as to skirt at least
so you'll think after you've seen
some of the new Spring gowns
for young women.
One fetching little frock is of
black satin with delicate cm-
broidery in gold thread, a
straight and youthful bodice and
a very new skirt which is quite
full, finished with many scallops
and trimmed with narrow
ruffles.
You will sec those narrow ruf
fles on many frocks, sometimes
on the skirt, sometimes just be
low the bodice, sometimes used
up-and-down to give long lines.
Taffeta frocks in blue and
black and lighter shades are de
lightfully new and have a
charming, air of Spring about
them and go from $37.50 to
$110.
Some new cloth frocks, just
out of their tissue wrappings,
are in two new styles (one with
n ripple effect below the bodice)
and are each $75.
All are in 14 to 20 year sizes.

Is Good to the Last Day
and Hour
Every Wanamaker Furniture Sale has to live up to its name every day of its career.
So far this sale has done so, and it can be depended upon to do so until the end.
To live up to its name, a Wanamaker Furniture Sale, from first to last must be a sale by
itself, a sale with no counterpart in magnitude of choice, desirability of goods and certainty"
of advantage for the customer.
From first to last it must be a sale of real opportunities, and plenty of them. It must '
come up to all these requirements because it has now got to where it simply cannot afford to
disappoint people.
Today it is impossible for any one wanting good furniture, anybody whose requirements ,
or ideas are not wholly unreasonable and who wants to buy it at a moderate but real saving,
not to find it in this sale.
We could repeat that statement every day until the end of t"he sale, because we have the
goods to back it.
It is timely to emphasize these points just now when we are getting along toward the
last week of the sale.
It is well to keep people reminded of the fact that this is a February Sale in the sense,
that it will provide a full and unrivaled choice of standard -of- America furniture at certified
reductions every business day of this month. The furniture is here and here in plenty, nomak ,
ter how much we have sold.
That is the whole story.
The rest is a matter of taking advantage while you may of the opportunities in which .
the sate abounds.
One of the distinctive marks of every Wanamaker Furniture Sale is that it abounds in
opportumtyto the last day and hour.

in our stock can
