It is merely a matter of using your eyes and your common sense. When we tell you that the Wanamaker Sale is a sale without equal in quantities and assortments and that it is unsurpassed in geed values we are putting before you in print the facts as they must appear te your own eyes and your own judgment here en the furniture floors. There is no need te argue the .point that the best place in which te cheese furniture is where there is, as you can see for yourself, by far the largest choice of the best and most desirable qualities at the lowest available prices. It is because home-keepers of clear-headedness, sound sense and correct furnishing taste have found that the Wanamaker Sale really and truly fulfills these conditions that it has become a unique thing in the retail trade of America. , And it is for the same reason that this August Sale of 1922 is proving itself the greatest se far in opportunities and naturally in volume.
