The People Believe in This Furniture Salle and That Means Everything
To Some People There Are
Those of Us Who Appear
to Be Bees
working in a dark hive.
They have no idea of the care, anxiety, frets
and disappointments that come with each day,
working out the wrong things and working in
the better, truer things that build up the soul's
plans not alone for personal pleasure and profit,
but for a finer city and a nobler citizenship.
There is enough encouragement every day
to keep one from getting tired.

is a thing pretty much beyond pur
chase. . .
It is one of those vital things without
which nothing else matters.
The basis of the people's belief in
Wanamaker Furniture Sales goes
straight back to the furniture.
And Wanamaker Furniture Sales
are the greatest thing that ever came
in retail business from offering the
people the furniture and the economies

That tlais August Sale, now going
ahead so wonderfully, could have origi

able.
