The Greatness of the Wanamaker Furniture Sale Grows
The First Stroke Is
Half the Battle
Choosing their companions has made some men
Tfhat they are, and the mistake of others in not
taking offered advice or not being strong enough to
drop evil company has been their ruin.
Better for the latter to have fallen into a bed of
.wasps.
To almost every man known to the writer was
riven an elective opportunity to make or lose his
way. All men are weak on some side or other, and
need to be spoken with as to the first strokes of life's
battle.

Even More Apparent
Towards the End
(Only Four More Days)
FROM first to last it is the goods that make
the sale.
From the first they have made this the
greatest August Furniture Sale we have ever
had; and we have enough of them to give it a
record wind-up.
It has four more dnys to run, one this week,
that is, tomorrow, and three next week.
t During these last four days the greatness
of it, especially in the main essential, the goods,
will be as marked and unmistakable as at the
beginning, or indeed, more so.
Up to the last hour it will be the sale with
the goods, the sale with the furniture that the
great majority of people want, the sale that
brings furniture of the wanted kinds in varie
ties and quantities that stand absolutely alone
and that have no counterpart anywhere.
Up to, the last hour it will be the one origi
nal, distinctive Wanamaker Sale in its goods,
in its values, in its service, in its opportunities.
From your standpoint three things are
now to be specially consideredthe need of
your home, or apartment, for new furniture,
the opportunities presented by this sale and
the limited time you have for taking advan
tage of them.
Off-hand, perhaps you cannot decide
whether or not you should buy, what you should
buy, or how much you should buy.
lis IP; H '' k if
Depend upon it, if you are likely to need
some of the finest furniture at an advan
tageous price, even in months to come, now is
the time to buy it.
Depend upon it also that the one and only
way to realize what you need and how much
you need is to come in and see with your own
eyes the stock of furniture that is here to keep
these last days of the Greatest August Furni
ture Sale filled to the brim with opportunity.
Only four days, remember, tomorrow and
the first three days of next week.
