To Talk About a Ladder Is
One Thing
to ascend it is quite another.
To get to the top, a man must have decision
to start with the first round and courage to keep
a-going until he climbs the last round.
Filling your mind with books at the
University and not making use of what you
learn is like filling bags with wool, of which a
cartload is passing this car of no good until it
is woven into yarn and into cloth.
This Store, to be what the public expects,
must put to daily use all its resources.

And you know it is the substance of
things you want, not the shadows of them.
Savings on Wanamaker furniture carry
the substance of reality, because of the real
quality of the furniture.
This is no new discovery. It is the life
breath of our furniture sales, but it is always
worth keeping in mind.
Today, as on the day this August Sale
began, the stocks are unrivaled in extent,
varieties and beauty. Now, as then, it is the
one great sale in everything, but especially
and above all else in the merchandise.
The right goods in unrivaled choice at
reliable savings this may sound common
place and familiar, but it is something worth
being familiar with. It is the one thing that
gives the sale a supreme character.
The right goods, the furniture that people
want who know how to appreciate furniture
built for soundness, for service, for beauty,
furniture built on investment principles, not
on speculative ones.
Of course, most people know where furni
ture of that kind is to be had in a variety with
which no other variety compares; but if you
have any doubts in the matter, you can easily
settle them by a little tour of observation and
comparison.
Take a walk through the Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh Floors and make a note of the varie
ties of sets and individual pieces. Note the
assortment of dining-room suits in the various
standard designs; also the delightful choice
of breakfast-room sets in unique designs and
decorative effects. See, also, the beautiful
collection of bedroom suits, especially the

room, library, hall and reception-room furni
ture on the Fifth Floor, the most superb show
ing of its kind injjflountry.
New Dark Blue Crepe Dresses
Much Wanted by Young Women
They are m the prettiest new fashions imaginable, too, and so practical to
wear when one wants something dark for the street and cool as well ! Six out
of ten young women are asking for these dresses.
Lovely iridescent beaded effects, the new many-colored wool embroidery,
soutache braiding and quaint little ruffles and roses of taffeta are some of the
methods of trimming, but there are others that rely on simple tucks or accordion
pleats.
The main point, however, is that all these attractive frocks have the new
lines and features, and you will certainly want to see them. $81.50 to $165 are the
prices.

Wanamaker Mattresses Are Always
Right and Now Prices Are Lower ,
We always hold a sale of mattresses, pillows, bolsters and bedsprings in
conjunction with the August Furniture Sale, because bedding is furniture of the
first importance.
There is nothing under this roof about which we are more particular than
the quality of the bedding we sell.
It has to be right and reliable all the way through.
Now it is lowered in price every bit of it in our stock.
You can have mattresses, pillows and bolsters made to your order in your
own choice of any materials in our stock at 10 to 20 per cent less than regular
prices.
But the opportunity only lasts during August, and the sooner your order is
placed, the better.
