Like unto it is this "If every one swept before his own door all the street would be clean." Scissor this out and place it under the picture where you may see it often to teach us its homely lesson to help things along. Seventy years ago it was not uncommon to sec the housemaids sweeping half-way across the streets on which their homes fronted. The little villages near the city were always kept clean by the residents sweeping before their own doors. Philadelphia should not be dirtier than the little towns surrounding it. Sweep up public opinion around the Mayor to do the self-imposed task of cleaning up the City as he has cleaned up before the doors of City Hall "Hello there! Are you sure you hear me?" Signed Auijust i, 1020. QfM. of Service to the Home TpHE Wanamaker Furniture Sale has raised the furnishings and appointments of the American home to new and. higher standards. ' That is hardly too much to claim for a sale that has now perhaps ten thousand echoes all over America, but j which is still as individual, unduplicable and unmistakable as it was on the day it was begun. It is an event the influence and stimulus of which have been felt all the way from the forest to the fireside. It has put whole furniture factories and organizations on their mettle. It has sent them back with a new zest' i for knowledge to the fine old sources of inspiration in modeling and design. It has sent them forward with corresponding eagerness to the exploration of new spheres of improvement in construction and woodsmithing. It has been directly responsible for many real and notable improvements in furniture-making, and of which we have specifically told in detail in f ormer advertising. "4 It has proved and is proving itself to be the one inspirational and constructive sale of its kind in the world.
