says an old English writer.
While writing this
yesterday morning we were
passing a wayside spring
oh the Wissahickon drive
which in silent speech says
to passersby, VI have given
myself away to you day and
night through all the years
to all who came and I have
never been a loser thereby."
The Book of Books tells
us, et your light so shine
before men," and something
within ifs, share the light
you have with others.
It is a pity for a man or boy to be only a dark lantern.
This Store turns on all its lights..

Sales in making
homes comfortable
HpHE soul of a Home is invisible, and
- does not depend on.things outward
and material for its existence. But it
does depejid on things outward and
material for its expression. m
The Home has a body as well as a
soul, and that body is called the House.
Badly hampered in fulfilling its highest func
tions and exercising its unseen influences, as well
as those that are seen, would any Home be that
lacked in comfort.
. By its content of good Furniture, its livability is
measured not merely by outsiders, but by the all-important msiders.
The progress of Civilization is largely concerned in the develop
ment of Furniture. Indeed, the preservation of the Home as a system
of society depends upon it in vast part.
You Think That Statement
Too Strang
then go home tonight, or if located there at this very moment of read
ing the Wanamaker news, turn around, and picture what your Home
would mean to you without the softly-cushioned Chair, bringing relaxa
tion to tired muscles;
Without the pleasing grace of line, and grain, and finish, and
upholstering, in fine cabinet-work that delights the beauty-loving eye;
Without the Dining-table, associated with so much cheer you've
found around it and upon it;
Without the protecting Bed, that says to you, without paying a
bit of attention to your grown-up-ness:
"There, there, my child; climb in, now, and forget all those silly,
nagging cares, just as you used to do on Mother's lap."
Ever since the moment came when rude tree-stumps and boulders
were no longer used in the caves of the .First Families, and prehistoric
fingers fumbled fiieir way clumsily but surely, to the knotting of the
first hammock, the best brains, art and craftsmanship of each succes
sive generation have been employed in developing and improving the
Furniture of the Home, and in getting the -Furniture made and distrib
uted into the Homes.
Ever since the first August Sale of Wanamaker Furniture, held 30
years ago, the best art and craftsmanship in designing and making
Furniture, and the best methods of getting such Furniture distributed
into homes, have been utilized, developed and improved upon in each
successive Sale, until they have now reached
The Greatest of All Furniture Sales Now Going
on at Wanamaker's
If any one considers this also a too-strong statement that he
August 1920 Sale of Furniture is. the greatest of all Furniture Sales
we invite him or her to come to see the Sale.
We invite all other people to the Sale also; particularly those in
search of the comforts of Home.
We invite the fastidious, who have been dismayed at the scarcity
of furniture of the qualities that they like to set in their beautiful
Homes.
We invite also those other fastidious ones who, although having
more restricted means and smaller houses than' some, love beauty just as
well, and home quite as well, and have also been dismayed, in the ordi
nary shops or sales they have visited, to find what a brief distance their
limited appropriation for furniture would carry them.
Money, whether in large sums or more modest
ones, will go farther in this August Sale at
Wanamaker9 s than in any other sale or store held
at this time and in this city unless, perhaps the
feature of quality?, be eliminated.
But Wanamaker Furniture Sales are held for
the benefit of those who will not leave quality out
of their calculations.
Even the plainest piece of furniture included
in this Sale is well-made, of well-seasoned, high
grade wood, planned on lines of dignity, and if
upholstered, carries the best springs, the best
filling and the best covering obtainable at the price.
In its qualities as well as its savings, it is the greatest Sale of
Furniture.
Among the more elegant suits and pieces are many veritable
gems of the cabinet-makers' art. The Fifth Floor (Chestnut), in which
there are special groupings, resembles some rare museum of beauty
pieces or, we would sooner say, a sumptuous yet hospitable home
where lavish comfort beckons.
Sales of Fine Rugs and Bedding, Too
Savings on furniture range from 10 to 50 per cent. Savings on
rugs (of which there is also a great August offering), 10 to 30 per cent.
Our entire stocks of mattresses, springs and pillows reduced for August,
10 to 20 per cent.
And in the quantities provided, in the vast scale of preparation
in a word, in its ability to set comfort in many thousands of homes
this event is unsurpassed by any sale held anywhere else in this country.
' Again, in the amount of attention (including imitation) that is
paid to it in the business world, in the amount of confidence that its
opportunities inspire in the home-makers, it is the greatest of Sales.
