You Have Just Three Days More to Take Advantage
of the Wanamaker August Furniture Sale
9W
Looking From a Car
Window at the Wires on
x the Telegraph Poles
at work day and night carrying messages
from city to city and from family to
family, not one of us knows what they are
saying. To learn anything we are obliged
to get into communication with some one
who knows.
How much goes on every day in a great
city and a great store and there1 is always
some one to communicate what we care to
know.
ISigncd
August 26, 1DS1.
YES, good Sir, and yes, good
Madam, just three more busi
ness days remain for doing business
with the great Wanamaker August
Sale !
There's no need for us to hurry
you, but there's need for you to
make haste if you still have home
furnishing plans to carry out.
After August 31 the furniture
will return to market prices.
Until September 1 you can have
any piece or suit of furniture on
our floors at savings of 10 to 50 per
cent.
Everybody knows what figure
such savings cut in a family budget.
Everybody knows what Wana
maker furniture is -knows it by
repute, if not through personal
inspection and acquaintance. Its
good repute, and, the confidence
that is felt in any offer backed
with the Wanamaker guarantees,
brought visitors here from not only
distant States, but distant coun
tries, on the very first day of the
Sale.
Costa Rica, in Central America,
and Ceylon, in the Indian Ocean,
were among the first points of ship
ment for our Sale of furniture this
August.
Of course, the Sale has been
attended by thousands of persons,
and furniture shipped to hundreds
of points outside as well as inside
this State and city.
As assiduously as
The Indian Ocean Is
Fished for Pearls
so have the deep and abundant
waters of this great August Sale
been fished for the treasures it is
known to yield.
And still there are just as good
pearls in the sea as ever came out
of it, and many furniture values are
still to be had in this Sale, which
rank, in either their qualities or
their economies, and frequently in
both, with the finest suits and
pieces that have gone out of it!
Is it necessary to say more than
this to men and to women vitally
interested in their homes, which
may need "toning up" with good
furniture?
Very little more.
Now is the great time and here
is the great place, because the
opportunity is now and here.
The one event which, more than
anything else, has been responsible
for giving the people a new interest
in the better appearance of their
homes, and has always provided
them with the furniture which the
awakened interest, demanded, is
the Wanamaker Semi-Annual Fur
niture Sale.
The home that has either furni
ture enough or good enough furni
ture is the exception, and not the
rule.
The home, like any other insti
tution, cannot get along indefi
nitely without touching up and
toning up.
In fact, all homekeepers are con
fronted by the alternatives of either
periodical toning up or inevitable
running down.
Can You Think of
Anything
in this wide world, let alone your
own home, that does not need
periodical toning up ?
Three business days remain for
the toning up of homes of Philadel
phia and of many places near to
and far away from Philadelphia, at
a less expense to the homekeeper
than he or she is likely to enjoy for
a period of six months or longer.
Of course, we all' know that
hearts make homes.
But how furniture does help !
The help represented in this
great Wanamaker August, 1921,
Sale of Furniture is particularly
opportune.
"The old order changes, gi ing
place to new."
Much building of homes is going
on. Manv houses, already com
pleted, await furniture.
During and since the war many
homes have run down in furniture
and furnishings.
Homes and their occupants are
fairly hungering (or new furniture
if only to make a new setting and
rest the nenes.
The Wanamaker Store
Originated the
August Sale
of furniture, not only to help the.
manufacturer market his goods
and keep his factory going in dull
seasons, but to render service to
the people b selling them good
furniture far below its real value.
It is doing bigger service than
ever in this, the thirty-sixth August
Sale.
So splendid has been the provi
sion that on this, the 26th day of
August, with but three more days
for the Sale to run, we can still give
the late comers assurance that they
will find good choice and assort
ment of furniture for anv room in
the house that may need it; and
many prices unbelievably low.
What luck for the homes whose
needs have not yet received atten
tion !
These ranks on ranks of bed
posts these shining expanses of
mahogany dining tables these
wood and glass cupboards waiting
for somebody's fine china or some
body's best-loved books these
comforting, overstuffed easy-chairs
and great, inviting sofas these
dainty writing desks and tea tables
and lovely painted sets for sleeping
chambers what do they all spell
but HOME home with the people
you care most for in the world?
As mere wood and craftsman
ship, beautiful and fine as they are,
they would mean little.
But it is because they are groins:
to make HOMES -going to fit into
homes already made it is a splen
did thing that they are such good,
true, sound and perfect pieces as
they are.
After Eden, the Next
Best Thing
for man and woman was a home.
What we generalK call "modern
civilization" began with the mak
ing of homes; and the work of mak
ing "good and beautiful dwelling
places must go on to the end of the
chapter.
Otherwise, nothing else can
go on !
Wanamaker furniture means
livable, loable homes.
Mr. and Mrs. Home - Maker,
what could possibly mean more to
your home than this Wanamaker
August Sale of Furniture that will
end with next Wednesday ?
