t n ' EVENING PUBLIC iJGn&ER PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEfeRUAJtY 2i, 1921 7 i Organ plays at 9, It and 4:50 W ANA MAKER'S Stoic Opens at 9 WANAMAKER'S Store Closes at 5 WANAMAKER'S WIS ATM UK Fair Clilnim at Mion Just Three More Days of the Greatest Furniture Said It Is Not Uncommon to Hear People Talking in the Trolley or at a dinner tabic about their shopping adventures and bargains, sometimes exulting in what they found and bought, and now and then recounting what they wanted and could not find, and the advantages and disadvantages of one store and another. There seem to be but few people that want to buy something for nothing; nor is it a fact that there is only a small percentage of the patrons who are willing to pay a fair equivalent for good articles. There is plenty of room and abundant patronage for the careful merchant who provides the safe qualities of goods and keeps on marking down the prices to meet the new conditions as they arise. Signed February 24, 1021 P$$w6 That Ever Was Time now means money to everybody who needs furniture or is likely to need it before very long. The first furniture sale in which our whole stock has ever been offered at a minimum sav ing of 33 1-3 per cent is coming near the end. It will close on next Monday evening.

The announcement of such a sale as this of so many pairs of good shoes out of our own stocks at prices so low de mands a frank explanation, and the ex planation shows that this is simply a straight cut business stroke of advantage to both our customers and to ourselves. The Wanamaker retail shoe business is regarded as the largest in the wprld and its operations must be the most active in the world. Closely following the fashions to meet the demands of a clientele that always de mands the latest and the best, it is of neces sity constantly putting new lines in its stocks and occasionally discontinuing cer tain lines. Every such change eventually means a few hundreds or a few thousands of pairs of shoes in a broken line of sizes and widths. Right now seems to us to be a good time to gather up all these accumulations from broken lines, from special purchases, from special sales, and group them all to gether to be sold out at once. 7 The result of this gathering up, there fore, is as follows: 7335 pairs of low shoes and ( j r 3144 pairs of high shoes at ( W 3636 pairs of low shoes and J J T T 4835 pairs of high shoes at i P O As to the variety, no description can be given. Both low and high shoes include practically every sort that has been in fashion during the last year, and, while new Spring styles are not included, there is the widest sort of choice from everything else and for everybody. We cannot guarantee every size or width in any style, but every woman is bound to find two or three pairs of low shoes and two or three pairs of high shoes of one sort or another that are suitable for her and that it will be advantageous for her to buy. The shoes will be sold in the Women's Shoe Store, First Floor Market, and a con siderable number of additional salespeople and extra selling space is arranged for the convenience of customers.
