The Wanamaker February Sale
It Is Easy to Undertake,
But More Difficult
to Finish
This building, begun on February 22,
1902, erected in three sections, opened to
the public on November 14, 1910, seemed
to be perfect in every particular, but
there has never been a week since that we
have not added something for the
comfort and safety of all who come, under
oar roof.
We welcome the suggestions of our
mstomers and we are learning every day
something new to improve the various

beauty or convenience.
It is an ever-increasing pleasure to be
always arranging for the convenience
and pleasure of our patrons. There are
still hard nuts to crack to get genuinely
good goods and get the prices lowered.

WANAMAKER'S
OLD FATHER TIME is a remarkable
runner. "In the long run" he over
takes everything.
He has caught up with this February
Sale of Furniture and tomorrow night he
will bring it to a close.
We believe it can be truthfully said that
Time has never overtaken a more wonder
ful retail sale.
' It has been wonderful in volume from
day to day and from week to week, but in
capacity to keep ajiead of all demands, to
keep stocks plentiful every day up until
the last day, it has been phenomenal.
North, South, East and West the furni
ture has gone from it. It has gone across
the Atlantic and over the northern border
into British North America. As usual, it
has gone into many distant states of the
Union, and Philadelphia and its environs

Sale aic chiefly in dark blue, red and ecru shades, and
among the patterns are several attractive Fereghan,

Tomorrow
have helped themselves immensely. One
might be prompted to ask how can we
have 'any furniture left?
We could explain how and why very
satisfactorily, but after all, the how or
why or wherefore matters little.
The thing that really does matter is the
actual fact that we have abundance of fur
niture here for tomorrow, the last day of
the greatest February Furniture Sale on
record.
On Monday morning every piece of it
will be marked at the higher, regular prices
and people will buy it at these prices and
have value for their money. If you want
any of this furniture at the February Sale

300 Men 's Fine Ulsters Brought Down in
Price to $35 and $45
The coats now $35 have hitherto been $25 more. Those now $45 have been
$15 more. They have been marked at higtter prices in our own regular stock and
were among the best coats offered regularly at these prices in Philadelphia this
Winter.
A saving of $25 each on one group and of $15 each on the other means a whole
lot in view of the market outlook for next Winter. It will pay a man to buy one of
these coats for next Winter, even if he should have no more use for a heavy coat
this season, which is far from likely. But his size must not be over 38 inches chest
measurement.
The fabrics are fine, heavy overcoatings in a choice of gray, green and tan
shades, every coat well tailored, well fashioned, with a belted back and big, com
fortable convertible collar.
