ItMlltlBllllMBHlL- i JBW " I1 11 1 iiy f '""" vfowTW'm ?tmfmHmm-me In the Homes of the Nation any nation you can generally read the degree of social and economic advancement which that nation has made. When we say the homes of the nation we mean all that the words imply. We mean the homes of the PEOPLE in the broadest sense; and speaking in that sense we be lieve it is incontrovertible that the homes of the American people are the best furnished homes in the world. This is not altogether due to the fact that America is the richest nation in the world. For the appearance of a home, like the appearance of an in dividual, is not a matter of money. It is chiefly a matter of taste, developed in an atmosphere of freedom. Scarcely anybody gifted with good powers of observation who has lived in America for the last 15 or 20 years could have failed to recognize the marvelous advance that has been made in the art of home furnishing in that period. The signs of it are everywhere, and they are very good to see. For this condition the Wanamaker Furniture Service, more especially the Wanamaker Furniture Sales is very largely responsible. They have been equally great as an educational and as an economic influence. They hold a place unique in this country and, in fact, in the world. Probably it is the educational influence that has been the sustaining factor of their economic value, because they have taught people to look for fur niture of dependable quality and graceful contour as against the kind that has neither of these essentials to commend it. So many people now want furniture of depend ableness and beauty that this is the busiest furniture service in the world. Furniture of character, dependableness and beauty is here in unrivaled abundance for the Great August Sale to be inaugurated with three days of preliminary selection and courtesy, July 28th, 29th and 30th. All advance selections made on these days will date from Monday, August 2d. If possible, be here on Wednesday, July 28th. The stocks will be wonderful in variety and ex tent, and every piece included will be of the best grade at the price ; the furniture will be Wanamaker furniture, every piece of it. 200 New White Skirts at $4.50 200 More at $5.75 This is good news for women who want fresh white tub skirts over the week-end.
