row Well This August Furniture Sale Stands the Test
"If Every One
Would Mend One
All Would Be
Mended"
is an adage almost as old as the
hills.
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. "

The Sale That Stands the Test
It is based upon an upbuilding principle the upbuilding and
upholding of quality, beauty, likableness and serviceableness in
furniture.

vidual home.
It stands the test as only a sale can stand it that is backed with
such a collection of merchandise.
