0i fie Stocks That
The Keeping of a Store
Like This
is quite a different matter from the common
storekeeping.
We believe we have an entirely different theory
of merchandising.
Instead of taking in everything that can be sold
at a profit, we do what the cottagers do at some
Seashore resorts, namely, we put up at our windows
and doors a species of mosquito netting strong
enough to shut out every kind of merchandise that
leaves a bite or sting upon our customers.
Studying closely our customers' likings, we
secure at sources of production and purchase for
immediate cash down what we believe they desire,
and mark everything at fair prices at the beginning
of the season, which prices are adjusted afresh with
every change in the markets, so that they sell
quicldy and so that we do not need to have odds-and-ends,
helter-skelter, hurry-scurry sales every week
and a hurly-burly, come-quick, riddance sale.
Does it not seem silly to put such big prices on
when the goods come in and then be obliged to mark
them down so much to get them sold?
Think it over for yourself.

THE FASHION
FOR BLACK
EXTENDS TO
BLOUSES
And, in consequence, there nro
arriving some of the smartest
black silk blouses imaginable.
Usually there is a note of color
or a touch of white to relievo
the somberncss.
For example, a very new black
Georgette blouse has a Tuxedo
collar, vest and cuffs of whito
Georgette trimmed with filet and
Valenciennes lace. It is $10.85.
A pretty little crepe de china
overblouse with short sleeves is
effectively trimmed with fagot
ing. $18.50.
Another ovcrblouao of black
crcpo de chine has chosen a
white crepe de chlno collar, vest
and cuffs, faggoted in white silk.
This is $20.
And, finally, a lovely black
Georgetto crepe overblouse is
outlined by a colored beaded
band around the neck, sleeves
and down the front. This is $25.
Some of these blouses are also
here in colors.

THOSE LONG
STRAIGHT LINES
of which the fashion magozincs
speak so glibly are not to be had
for the -mere wishing. Very
often the regular corset accentu
ates the waistline too much
and Fashion isn't quite ready for
a definito waistline.
But the Parlsienne novelty and
rubber corsets aro made to give
the desired lines. Some of them
como in slip-on styles, with lacing
in back. Thero are several bones
over the abdomen, which give a
good straight line.
One model is absolutely top
less, and is made with generous
elastic inserts in front and back.
Two hooks at bottom of fr,ont
givo extra support. 11.50.
Another model has excellent
long lines, made almost entirely
of rubber. One steel on side.
$12.50.
A topless slip-on is mado of
pink suede with elastic inserts
over hips. Bones over abdomen
mnko it very flat in front. $20.
A longer model of pink Batin
and elastic in slip-on stylo 1b very
straight, and fiat over abdomen.
$31.50.
An nil-elastic corset, of pink
silk elastic, with no boning, and
18 inches ovor hips nnd abdomen,
may be worn by the woman who
desires the "corsctlcss" appear
anco. $42.
(Third l'loor, Cheitnnt)
WOMEN'S LINEN
FOR $1.50
They aro of the good, practical,
everyday kind, made of puro
linen, hemstitched.
And, speaking "of tho proof of
the pudding," tho best proof that
these nro something out of tho
ordinary is tho extraordinary
way that women are buying them
up a whole dozen for a dollar and
a half.
A timely, fresh lot now ready.

Could
August
We do not believe in making a sale of any kind, least of
all a furniture sale, by any other method or process than
the straight, simple, reliable one of having the goods.
Having the goods, the goods of character and qual
ity and suitability, that is the open secret of having an
August Furniture Sale such as we are now holding.
Only one thing could make it what it is and that is a
stock of furniture unequaled, probably in the world, for
excellence, for sound basic qualities, for desirableness
and for actual value at the prices.
That is the whole thing. That is the reason why this
sale can meet and is actually meeting the supreme test of
the people's needs as no other sale anywhere possibly can.
That is why the Wana
maker sale is the sale that
means most to the greatest
number of people who need
furniture of soundness and
beauty at savings that are
unexaggerated, manifest
and aboveboard.
The number of these
people seems to be all the
time on the increase.
As regards volume of
business, they are making
this a record August Sale. '
They can see that it is
the sale for them, espe
cially when they see the
goods.
