But we are not wholly unused to amazing things, especially in furniture, and we have learned to prepare for them. It is hardly likely that so much furniture has ever been chosen within the same space of time as was chosen on the three days of advance selection in this Sale. Everybody who was here on Saturday last could see that at least half of all the suits and pieces on the floors had "Sold" tags on them. But it is a pity that not everybody can see the splen did reserve stocks in the warehouse ready to be brought in as fast as they are needed. We are not sold out, notwithstanding the great demand. We are not going to be sold out. Considering the extent of our reserve stocks, we feel that we have only begun to sell. This Sale Is Something Unprecedented We believe we have done an unprecedented thing in offering our entire stocks of furniture at a deduction of 33 1-3 per cent and pf 50 per cent on a considerable group of things. And the people have responded in an unprecedented way because it must be clear to them that the opportunity to choose at such an extraordinary advantage from the whole range of these famous furniture stocks is a thing unheard of. The whole substance of the price advantages now offered lies in the goods to which they apply? There is no such stock of furniture anywhere as the stock that is back of this February Sale. No other two stocks can nearly equal it in extent; and piece for piece none can equal it in excellence and desirability. Every suit and every piece is as near to an exact highest standard of excellence at the regular price as it is possible to have it.
