And yet the furniture that is in these win dows shows only a fractional part of the variety of the goods that make up the sale. We could clear out the windows and fill them up a hundred times and yet hardly seem to diminish or even disarrange the great stocks that are being made ready on the Fifth and Sixth Floors for the world's greatest Furniture Sale. To give the figures and the description of the actual quantities and varieties included in these great stocks would be to print some thing that would seem almost stupendous. It is not to be wondered at that there is great interest shown in this approaching sale. For it is already very well known now, and the word has gone throughout the countryside that this great sale, starting next Friday, will be a sale not only of stupendous proportions, but one bringing values so great as to be beyond the most sanguine expectations.
