The Proof of a Furniture Sale Is in the Goods and on
hlvt
r&J- '
That Principle This Sale Stands A lone
Thank You, Mr. Mayor, for
Your Patriotic and Proper
Leadership
in removing from Philadelphia the disgrace of
holding back for scores of years the universal
observance of the
Birthday of Washington
throughout the United States.
The selfishness of the city of the American
flag; of the State House, in which was signed the
Declaration of Independence; of Independence
Square, where it was first published; of the
Liberty Bell, which rang out over land and sea,
"Proclaim Liberty throughout tlie land, unto all
the inhabitants thereof," has prevented a proper
observance.
Our great streets were country roads 144
years ago, where WashingtonJefferson, Hancock
and their associates walked and talked over the
terms of and concluded the Declaration of
Independence.
It is meet and right for these same streets,
lined with warehouses, evincing the benefits that
have followed the statesmanship of Washington
and his confreres, to respect the memory of the
greatest citizen of his time. t
So shall the children hear the story of the
nation's beginnings, and the hundreds of
Philadelphia's adopted citizens realize that we
arc not only proud of our history, but recognize
M'hat we owe to those who organized our
government.
All hail for the promptness and vigor of
Our Clear-Headed Mayor
who calls us to the duty of the hour !
Of Course, Mr. Mayor
all our buildings, storage houses, factories and
workrooms in and out of, but in unison with, the
the premises next to City Hall, will be
Closed from Saturday, 5. P. M.,
' to Tuesday, Feb. rU, 9 A. M.
also ourioffices and warehouses in London and
Paris will be closed and notices posted stating
publicly the reasons therefor.
A very happy day to ihc thousands of
families for the holiday that the Mayor has
given us.
Signed
Feb. 'JO, 1320.

TI TE TOLD our friends at
VV the' beginning that the
talk about shortages and
scarcities, while it- was gen
erally true, did not apply to
this Sale.
. We said we had no" excuses
to make, but that We had the
goods that people wanted and
plenty of them. The test came
and for the past three weeks
or so we have been vindicating
these statements by actual
performance.
Now pn the threshold of
the last week is when the
severest test begins to make
itself felt. Now comes the
time that shows the difference
between a real February Fur
niture Sale and a real ilare-up.
Wn run snv f.lmf. nn mirnlv
as we are prepared for the
beginning of this Sale we are
prepared for the end of it, not
with excuses, but with the
goods.
We have' a block-long ware
house full of furniture ready
to call upon at any time.
We have 125 different bed
room suits on the Sixth Floor.

and agreeable in color. We have it in pretty good variety at this
moment, the sports jackets showing new pleats, yokes arid pockets
and the skitts straight and of an easy width.
Prices arc $35, $37.50, $38.50 and $45.

What Is This Hardwater Soap
You Talk So Much About?
Proper question and here's the answer.
"Philadelphia Hardwater Soap" (note the whole name) is a soap
made from a singular formula, brought by Wanamaker's from a famous
European bath.
It is readily soluble in Philadelphia's "hard" water.
It is made of pure and wholesome materials. This is a most im
portant point.
It sells usually for 20c a cake.
During March (Wanamaker anniversary month) it sells for
$1 a Dozen Cakes
It is so good and lasting that a dozen cakes is an average year's
supply for each member of tho family.
It improves with time.
Therefore, many prudent people, in March, buy a whole year's sup
ply for tho whole family.
We are taking orders now for March deliveries.
