(Fourth Floor, Central) IN ALL the years that we have been selling furniture we have never held as great a Sale as this with the exception of our famous events in February and August. The story has already been told of how four of the largest producers of high-grade 'furniture in America were eager to find a sudden outlet for their stocks on hand. One store could provide the outlet. We took over the stocks of all four factories. We offer them in this Sale, at 40 per cent less than the new low prices, which means 50 per cent, or more, below the prices that aruled up to February last. The great bulk of the collection consists of dining-room suits and bedroom suits in walnut and in ma hogany. They are of superlative quality. The styles are in the best of taste and represent many favored periods. The construction and case-work are as genuine as we have seen. The thing that most impresses any one looking at this furniture is its com bination of fineness with solidity. There are about 500 complete suits (dining room and bedroom) in IT ik' A At '' v the collection. This is the largest offering of complete suits we have ever made at such savings outside of half-yearly sales. The display of them occupies the greater part of the Fifth Floor on the Chestnut Street front, but, of course, we have duplicates back of many of the suits on exhibit. Only a Store unequaled in dis tributing facilities could provide such an opportunity for homekeepers. Now let them make the most of it.
