to oneself, antl not to be tossed about
by the winds, doctrines and half
baked opinions which are in the air,
blowing around us all along the way.
To have a mind like a harp, to be
played upon by the skillful fingers of
a harpist and lose control of
ourselves, may endanger and possibly
change our'entirc' lives.
An unorganized life is in constant
danger from the designs of those
who prey upon people "weak in

33Vs and 50 Per Cent
Is Something
Unpreceden ted
THERE has never been anything like the send-oft" the
people have given this February Furniture Sale.
It has been amazing.
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.
It Is All Wanamaker Furniture Through
and Through
Many and many a home has long been waiting for just such
furniturewaiting' and wishing for a come-down in prices.
As a matter of fact, market prices have not come down, but
these goods are our own, and we have brought them down at one
stroke 33 1-3 to 50 per cent, with the result which is apparent to
everybody, that there has never been such an opportunity.

All Our Office Furniture at a Uniform
Deduction of 33l Per Cent
There is hardly any need to tell men of business that the offer
ing of a whole stock of such staple goods as these at a saving of one
third on every piece and set is a remarkable thing and provides a
rare opportunity to secure standard goods to unusual advantage, ,
i I hint
Mattresses, Pillows, Bolsters, Springs
