But war conditions did affect cmalitv and this statement is made with no accusations of mendacity. The heart of American iifiMJ business is true be it boss of workshop or counting room. But war needs had first call on materials, on transportation, on labor, on manufacturers. Speed was the thing and "speed" ran up costs.; extra diligence, extra production effort of every sort was paid by a bonus. It made everything from cutting the tree to silvering the mirror cost excessively. The Profiteer was chiefly a visualiza tion of conditions. No one man got the excess price that you paid. i-V Z f ,v ht y V; .: '-:' " t vj.r-'r-v-r ,M Dining-Room Suites in Solid Mahogany and Solid Walnut Ten-Piece Suites, $185 Upwards and Including the Remarkable Suite Illus trated Below at $325 for Ten Pieces A Conservative Value at All Times Being $650 ssa .-.

But, worst of all, quality of goods for civilian uses deteriorated the best of things were picked for war. Then, no concern, however strong, could fully maintain quality. Everything was conditional sold that way, to be sure, but Well, no sane man would vote another war. That for granted. But quality grades are approximately normal again. Prices we have driven down until it seems an exact statement that equal furniture quality was at no time sold for less. Ten years' records seem to bear out this statement. Everything 'is to be judged by comparison. Last year; each year, Gimbel furniture has not been surpassed in merit of construction. "The Gimbel" way showing furniture in its skeleton form gives our customers opportunity to study to see why drawers are "dust-proof," why dowels hold corners fast, how "solid mahogany" means mahogany all the way through, even where pieces are built up of many thicknesses, for purposes of strength and to give some particular marking of the wood its full glory. Mahogany and- walnut are the favored woods the woods that the past has shown to be posterity's choice. Of course, enameled furniture has its uses. The large reductions in prices have given impetus to furniture buying and thousands of homes are getting partial or complete replacements. Prices Average Les Than Half of Last Year's Valuations Little wonder that business at Gimbels is passing all records! It's the good deep breath after a long period of repression. Meeting a defined need in purchases of such magnitude We cheerfully arrange Partial Payments on furniture giving the purchaser an tne bale s advantages. a The August Sale is Now in Full Swing J
