Te Have Ne Eyes Except for
Your Mill or Your Warehouse
is the serious mistake of any life. Te be sure,
"no mill no meal," "no sweat no sweet '; but
the meal of the mill will be greater, and the
sweat of the labor will be sweeter, if we are
net coopered up with straps as if we were
barrels just te carry sugar or salt.
We must have eyes te see suffering,
hearts te feel the loneliness and sorrows, and
hands te alleviate the anxieties, accidents
and troubles of ethers.
De net let spikes of selfishness grew in
your garden.

Nothing but Music
beautiful music, rich! and full and sweet of
tone, could have made
3T!j tbuxmntkvt
se great or kept it se popular for se long.
It was in 1838 that the clear, golden tones of a
Schemacker first were heard te tell note by note the
musical story of some fair romance.
And then as the years unfolded, hew great the
Schemacker became, what a cherished part it played,
even in the history of the Natien.
It was a Schemacker that echoed through the White
Heuse that Lincoln listened te in great-hearted silence
and forget the torment and torture of Civil War for
a while.
It was a Schemacker that Grant loved te hear during
the Great Exposition of '76.
There was then and is today a Schemacker in the
homes of great jurists, Congressmen, captains of indus
try and the countless cottages of the "you and I's" the
whole land ever.
In a word, the Schemacker is a democrat in a
democracy. It is the piano of the mighty and the humble,
for it brings te men, with a wonderful depth of feeling,
the one thing that sweeps away all differences and leaves
them brothers MUSIC.
In Philadelphia, the Schemacker either stately up
rights or proud grands is sold in the Wanamaker Piane
Salens exclusively.

The One Final, Convincing
Proof Is the Furniture Itself i
The unique character of the sale is a simple matter
of fact. ;
One of the great things in favor of it is that its
supremacy as regards excellence of merchandise and
values is se manifest.
Ne doubt we have made what might seem like
sweeping claims for it.
But new that se many have had an opper-
tunity te see what was back of the claims, we
have no hesitation in reaffirming them, every
one.
We de this with confidence, our sole reli
ance being en the goods and nothing else.
When we say that this is an August Furniture Sale
incomparable in the. extent, variety and quality of the
goods and unsurpassed in the lowness of prices, our.
minds are dwelling en several acres of furniture here in
the store and the thousands of duplicates in the ware
house.
The genesis, character and value of the
goods we knew, and we are confident our
dependence en them is well placed.
In a sale of such gigantic size it is early as yet te go
into details.
It is enough te say that for every home and
apartment it provides the most desirable and
trustworthy furniture in a choice away beyond
anything te be found elsewhere and at the low
est prices that can mean real, tangible economy.
On Monday one can buy all the furniture desired,
dating the purchases from August 1.
