After all, it is not the deduction of 20 per cent, or even of 50 per cent, if it were made, that is the $ important thing, but the goods. It is the goods that matter, tne cnaracter oi tnem, tne .quality, oi tnem, the real worth of them: ii oik roT cal'uso Tin: kkttu: ntvet (From an' Old English Book) One of the Wise Old Residents of the United States was once heard to say, "Before putting your foot down, be sure to see what the ground is you are to stand upon." The motives back of the tidal movement originating here in Philadelphia were simply these which have become A Tale of Two Cities 1. We were outright-owners of twenty millions of perfectly new merchandise. 2. Wc were free to do what we, pleased with it without asking anybody. 3. Intimations were being made by manufacturers and others of proposed advances in prices for Fall orders. 4. We believed that ' manufacturers and speculators had had 'their ddy 'and' individual purchasers should now have their day. 5. In tiie interest of our patrons we decided to not place new orders at newly advanced rates. 6. We made the simple plan of leaving our goods ticketed with the same sale prices of the previous half year and letting the public take them at one-fifth off until further notice. 7. It was a plan that every store keeper could work as well as ourselves. 8. It was a bold, firm effort to put a Stop-plug in the pipes 6f war prices and to head off commitments for future deliveries at higher charges. 9.. We felt that somebody had to strike hard and heavily against the systematic and powerful forces of raisers of prices, and we took the chances. 10. The millions of dollars of cash we recelve'd were, promptly put into motion to help overburdened manufacturers, thereby greatly relieving their financial needs, in many instances. 11. We are well satisfied with the results of our effort since so many have taken it up in all directions. We shall very shortly, after giving due notice, surrender the field to others to carry on the good work. 12. Please remember, we are not hurrying a sale of our firskclass merchandise. Do not buy unless you need. Signed June 21, 19S0.

Doubtful if We Ever Had Such a Fine Stock of Dining-Room Furniture And considering how much we have been sending out of here for weeks and weeks past, it almost seems as if this abundant and beautiful collection came in by magic. But there is nothing magical about it. Quite the contrary, there is everything very real and natural about it. We have been able to replace dining-room suits as fast as they are sold, and it is just doubtful if we have ever had a larger or finer stock than we have in our possession at the present time. You will see the samples on the Sixth Floor, Market Street, and they can speak, for themselves. You can count at least one hundred different suits here, to say noth ing of the other hundreds in the warehouse. Like all the other furniture in our possession, every one of these suits can bo bought at a deduction of 20 per cent from the regular price of it. That is probably the largest "blanket" deduction ever made from a stock so beautiful in woods, work manliness, design and finish. There is certainly nothing to compare with it in the cabinet business of Amer ica today. Sixth rieor, Market) s I TJi' i 4 M il m ' iil p 41 m l iTJ JI. 'wy-yl 51 i'' HI l-t a turn itiaam i-i IWB.
