The Influence of a Good Picture
Is Not to Be Forgotten
Almost every day for many years a man I know
spends a few minutes looking at a steel engraving,
which has never lost its powerful impressiveness. It
js a famous old picture, known as
The Iron Worker and King Solomon
When the Temple at Jerusalem was completed
the King gave a feast to the Artificers employed in
its construction. It had been given out that the
particular craftsman who had done the most to
complete the great structure should be seated next to
the King.
On unveiling the Throne it was found that a
blacksmith had usurped the seat of honor on the
right of the King's place, not yet awarded, whereunto
the people clamored and the guards rushjed to cut him
down. "Let him speak!" commanded Solomdn.
"Thou hast, O King, invited all craftsmen but
me; yet how could these builders have raised the
Temple without the tools I have furnished?"
"True," decreed Solomon, "the seat is his of
right; all honor to the iron worker!"
This is the Jewish legend of record.
Some of the boys who last week built the snow
houses began their careers as builders.
Many of the young lads who got their education
as mechanics, graduating in the past twenty years,
have taken their places as craftsmen and have high
seats among the able builders of bridges, railroads,
machinists and in the great construction work of the
war.
This Nation will be proud of the Williamson
School boys.

Time Is the Only Thing the Wanamaker February
Furniture Sale Is Short Of
Tp HIS Sale has four more days to run.
- It cannot help being' a great sale up to the last clay and hour, because the goods
'are here to insure that it will be such.
No store in the world ever sold as much furniture in a similar space of time as we
have sold since this sale began, and still there isn't a gap on the floors not a noticeable
void anywhere.
As a matter of fact, there is little or no noticeable difference between the floor
stocks today and those of the opening day.
Frequently within the past few weeks we have said that this was the Sale with tho
goods no doubt that is something which might be claimed for an ordinary Sale in
a certain degree and up to a certain point, but there comes a time which shows up like a
flash how much there is behind a claim of the sort or how little.
Today, within a few days of the end of it, we can say more emphatically than ever
that this is the sale with the goods and plenty of them.
The floors are filled, the warehouse is filled; there is nothing to have any doubt or
anxiety about, but TIME. i
That is the only, thing that is running short. Everything else is abundant.
Up until Saturday evening all the furniture will continue at February Sale prices.
After that, every piece of furniture in our possession will be marked at the regular higher
figures.
You can save by acting quickly.
Once this Sale is over, it will be a long time before you will again have the same
opportunity.
