A Great Time for Saving and for Studying the New Styles
In the Region of the Ten
Thousand Islands of Florida
below Mianii and between Jcwfish and Long Key,
the great wide wastes of shallow waters, bays,
bayous and watercourses between narrow but long
stretches of land, uninhabited in the main, arc most
interesting.
At one time the vast sheds oX water covered
everything, but in the course of years, the rise and
fall of tides, and the heavy winds, and the sandy
soft coral bottoms drifted the sand to form reefs
like that whereon Alligator Lighthouse stands, and
little by little new islands took form.
Hundreds of acres arc today visible, where
small mangrove trees are growing two, four and six
feet high, in shallow water from the seedlings that
fell from the mother mangrove trees after their
blossoms left the parent stem, and were swayed by
the wind to take root at low tide on the new soil
made up by the sea.
Thus it is that Florida is rebuilding itself by its
pioneering mangrove seeds and miniature trees in
6iffht.
Nature is our constant teacher, even fyom
shifting sands.
Midway between Miami Bay and Miami Beach
a prominent western man has a large, fine island,
which he reclaimed, now being rapidly improved for
fine homes.

The Furniture Opportunities
That People Have Long Wished
For Are Here
They are here in the first sale that ever brought you
the privilege of choosing anything in our whole furni
ture stock at a deduction of 33 1-3 per cent, except
certain lots at a deduction of 50 per cent.
Coming at any time this would be a very remarkable
thing. Coming when it did it has proven an astonishing
arid unprecedented thing.
Above all, it has proven and is proving every day,
to be the very thing that the homes of the people, north,
south, east and west, have been waiting for and they are
helping themselves to the resulting opportunities in no
half-hearted fashion.
The Carloads Are Coming
Loads of furniture come in daily. That is why the
unusually heavy selling seems to make little impression
on the floor stocks. Selections tomorrow will be as fine

never sold as much furniture in the same space of time
as we have sold since this Sale began.
Backed by great warehouse reserves the Sale is
planned to be a sale of abundance every day of its career;
and it is working out to everybody's satisfaction "ac
cording to plan."
