These simple facts are absolutely accurate d sn0Uld be borne in mind when considering other business conditions. There is nothing radically wrong, from ho writer's outlook, with the mercantile or "anufacturing business of the United States. Most of the storekeepers have not only unloaded their high-cost stocks, but many retail stores, factories and workshops, hampered with old goods out of fashion and out of season, have taken their losses and turned unsalable assets into whatever cash they could get. There is not only no danger of prices going un again, but concessions allowed by the United States Government, and gradual, though slow and fair reductions in wages with economies in operating commerce and business, will produce a continuance in lowering selling prices. There is not one thing in sight or in probability that can legitimately cause a panic.

NORMALLY Wanamaker Furniture is one thing people seem always to want. There is something like a universal eager ness to own some of it. Whenever there is a feelingof this kind amongst people in gen eral regarding any class of merchandise, depend upon it, the merchandise is good. That is how good quality in merchandise works. That is the influence it exerts. And that is the best proof of the..wisdom of holding to the principle of good quality first, last and always. It isn't the savings of 33 -3 and 50 per cent that have stirred the people so' regarding this February Furniture Sale. It is the fact that such savings have never before been offered on furniture of the same kind in the same quantity. It Is the Goods That Make the Savings So Attractive That is why the universal desire to own Wanamaker furniture is so marvelously active these days. That is what has brought a demand such as we have never known. Now what we want to tell the people about is not the great business we are doing, but the great preparations we have made for doing it to their satisfaction. We have large, valuable reserves of furniture ready at hand in the warehouse, We could sell the whole floor stocks and replace them over and over again. They have been largely replaced since the Sale began. This does not mean that we have a stock which no demand, however great, could possibly exhaust. It does mean that despite the unprecedented selling there is no lessening of opportunity. We are not sold out and we are not going to be sold out, although the task of keeping stocks as full as people want them is not child's play i I Iff li Mini Hid l,inr) Every Piece of Office Furniture at a . Deduction of 33l$ Per Cent Considering the staple character of the goods, we believe this is probably an unprecedented offer. It is certainly an offer that can be depended upon to make its own appeal to the business sense of business men.
