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.

Three Days Now of the
Office Furniture Sale
Mr. Businessman, wc have been telling ou, off and on, since the
beginning of the month that we were offering our entire stock of office
furnituie in this February Sale at a deduction of 3.T 1-3 per cent.
Wo told ou that this was an unprecedented offer. Now wc want
to tell you that it will hold good for only three more days tomorrow,
Saturday an.l Monday and wc will let it go at that, because no real
business man needs to be told more.
(Third Floor, Market)
desirable furniture offered at
the same deductions from regu
lar prices. The only goods not
offered at 33 1-3 per cent less are
certain lots that are marked 50
per cent less.
In view of these facts the last
few days of this sale are of very
exceptional note, bringing as
they do the last few opportuni
ties to choose from the entire
range of the Wanamaker stocks
at an advantage of not less than
one-third.
Selections are still surpris
ingly good. The stocks are still
unequaled in all that makes fur
niture desirable.
Last Word of Men's Winter
Suits at the Last Low Price
We have remaining in our stocks about 500 of the very
best Winter business suits for men to be had in America.
We will put them on sale tomorrow morning at a flat
price of $32.50.
This is, in every instance, half or less than half the
original prices.
We know, as every man knows, that there are only
a few weeks left of this season to wear the heavier suits;
but some of them are medium weights that can be worn
far into the Spring.
But there is all next Winter to come, and the man
who likes the idea of a dividend that may pay him a
hundred per cent in less than a year is the man who will
be in here early to make his selection.

Oriental Pearl Necklaces
of Surpassing Beauty
There is a very good reason for the great esteem in nhich
pearls aro held.
Unlike many other jewels, their soft sheen is becoming
to almost every woman. They may be worn with any color cos
tume and they are the most refined of all jewelry.
We arc very particular about admitting only the highest
character Oriental pearl necklaces to our collection. Every one
is of the finest color and luster and the pearls are perfectly
matched. Many peoplo liko the idea of adding to a necklace each
year, and wc have separate pearls especially for this purpose.
Necklaces are from $1150 to $7400. Many have diamond
clasps.

Ready Tomorrow Morning
An Extraordinary Sale of
Women's Shoes
10,479 Pairs at $2 (
8471 Pairs at $3.75
All the shoes are taken from our own stocks, where in most cases
they were priced three to live times as much.
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.
