Which means that it has been the greatest August sale of furniture that has ever been held in any store. It proves that the spirit of the nation is not depressed and sluggish, but is active and courageous. That people are making new homes and are improving homes that are already made. Here we are at the last day with an unexampled stock of furniture. It is without a doubt the largest in America offered at retail. It is without a doubt unequaled for its quality and its variety.
