Great August Sale
Typewriters might tick and pens might scratch and tongues

the prices.
It is wonderful hew a sale can grew and grew and grew upon the
sheer merit of its merchandise at the prices.
Wonderful, and yet se reasonable.
This is a sale which meets the requirements of every home as no
ether sale can possibly meet them.
It is the only sale of its kind in the magnitude and satisfying
variety of the stocks that are back e f it.
The furniture that people want is here that is about the most
unquestionable thing we knew of in retail merchandising today.
There is unquestionable proof of it in the way the people are
buying.
They knew the furniture they want and where te find it.
If these statements sound boastful they are net intendedte be se
Our purpose is te give the facts as they exist.
Nothing mere is necessary, except te prove them with the furni
ture and the people can see for themselves that the furniture the one
proof from which there is no getting away, is surely here

Leeking
Behind a Chair
Most people tnke for granted a
chair or a .sofa, a bed or a table, as
if they gicw ready-made en a tree
and had only te be plucked off when
needed.
Mere imaginatne minds see in
every article of finished furniture
the whole process of it creation
and histery:
The slim jeung sapling in the
forest that took years and years
te reach its proper growth;
The huge trunk and green
canopy whose bird and squirrel in
habitants were warned by the lum
berman ae and saw te seek new
lodgings.
The floating legs en the river,
and the sounds and smells of the
saw-mill;
And finally, after months of
reasoning and pieparntien, the fur
niture factories wheie the hands of
industry fashioned the shapeless
weeds into useful and beautiful
form-, conceived by the minds of
the designers.
Years nature thought in
dustry forests cities men
factories milreads (steam
ships it took them all te make
pietty neatly the simplest piece of
furniture you can buy.
Seme people have enough imagi
nation te leek net only behind a
new chair, but ahead of it, per
ceiving hemething of the history it
is Keing te help make!
