To give the world an Abraham Lincoln, a Benjamin Franklin, a John Welsh, President of the Centennial 1876 Exhibition, or a Matthias W. Baldwin, it takes great latent qualities of integrity and right living in their ancestry, just as it does to bring forward a nobleman, such as Sir Henry Fawcett, Lord Shaftesbury and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, late Premier of Canada. To be well-born is a great honor, and to be well-educated is a great boon and of great value, but, after all, everything turns upon the principles and manner of life and the fulfillment of its duties which the man gives in his day and generation to the community in which he lives. There is never a time that the world does not want and greatly need the right man in more places than one.

(Main Floor, Market) The Goods and the Facts and a Great Desire We have come nowf to within a few days of the start of the Wanamaker Original Great August Sale of Furniture and the whole store and the whole city are keyed up about it. Counting off the hours until it is ready is like counting off the minutes before the opening of the doors of a banquet room. Every word that comes out about it in advance is a word of enthusiasm, and as wonder piles upon wonder in the preparations, it develops into the greatest mercantile and household news of the day; It is news that is bound to be told far and wide and to go from end to end of the country. It is such a story as to make every one who learns it in all its power want to rush out and shout it aloud on the street corners. How different from the thousand and one job lot and wartime overlot sales that infest the land and that, some of them, creep up almost under our very eaves; In Great Particulars It is different from any other sale on earth. It is different in its goods, for this is a sale whose whole foundation is its goods. Its displays and its resources are entirely made up of fine and dur able furniture, classic in design, sound in construction and steadfast in char acter as the Constitution itself. It is original, exclusive, superior. It is not a mushroom nor a barrel of 'wind. It is not even in competition with any other sale. It is different, traveling a loftier height upon a broader plane and with a clearer horizon. It does not bring merely the opportunity to get furniture at lower prices than elsewhere ; by our mag nitude alone we could do that. The great thing is the vast superiority of its goods. It is different because it comes at the right moment to answer the call of a great desire. Undoubtedly the American peo ple have put up with a lot since 1914 when Germany started her war. Mainly at home they have put up with a good deal of tawdry and makeshift workmanship. They have complained but little, but they have longed for the change for the good time to return when they could start in again with home making, the greatest of all American activities, in a normal way. This is essentially the opportunity of the homemaker. It is the best in years. It brings the people exactly what they have the greatest desire for. And prices will be reduced amaz ingly! The Sale Starts Next Wednesday The usual courtesy days will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 27, 28 and 29, on which days selec tions may be made and orders given. Transactions will date from August 1; (lint Floor, Market) t 1 ttft f irtt -v 2'4i ijV-.', fv J ,4'i ,. Vc , vV. -ivitM . u , . ... rtU&& JI.A..
