It Is Generally Believed That
Almost All Young Men
, 4
divide into two classes when about 20 years
of age. ' .
Th6y naturally divide into brain workers
and hand workers. Not infrequently health
has something to do with it.
The physical system broken down with
irregular habits, heuse of stimulants,
smoking, late hours in gambling or dissipations,
leave's hinTjvith a poor gocart of a body with
which to do a man's work.
It is especially necessary for the man whose
life is to do good thinking to have a clean body
and brain.

, O you wish a sign of the times?
What better sign could anybody ask for than the fact that
the world's greatest retail sale is surpassing itself in everything?
With our experience of the last few days, nobody can tell us
what conditions are or what they are likely to be. ,
We know. We know, because this is an event in which one is
inevitably drawn close to the heart of things.
. We are close enough to the heart of things to realize that they
are very sound.
The atmosphere of this sale seems to be charged with sane and
sound optimism.
It is bright with the beginnings of a new era in public affairs,
a new settling down to a period of sound progress.
The home is the most natural place for this to begin; and the
beginning has been wonderful. ,
People Are Always in the Market for
Wanamaker Furniture
Never more so than today. We have never had a finer selection
of furniture to show them than the stocks offered in this August Sale.
Like all the Wanamaker sales that have gone before it this sale
is primarily based upon the superior quality of the furniture itself.
It is the finest furniture made. It has to be that and nothing short of
it, because it is a fundamental condition of the sale that the goods in
it must be the finest obtainable.
The quantities and varieties of furniture shown here are a
matter of simple arithmetic. An actual count will show them to be
two to ten times more extensive than any to be found outside of this
store.
This means that you are two to ten times more certain of find
ing your kind of furniture here than you can be of finding it out of
here. (
And you are equally certain of finding Wanamaker prices to be
the lowest prices that anybody who wants to be sure of a good invest
ment will want to pay.
Tomorrow, the last business day of the week is the third and
final day of advance selections.
Displays are still complete and undisturbed. They are a sight
worth coming far to see, and for anybody needing furniture of
genuine claracter at vouche'd-f or savings, they present the opportu
. nity of years.
All furniture chosen tomorrow will be entered as from Monday,
next, August 1.

much.
In every case jt is a saving
real and above board.
