Professer Blackie, of Edinburgh University, had many friends in America, and was much loved by many of Geerge H. Stuart's friends, with whom he always "put up." It was he who said te us young fellows, "I don't knew a better advice te a young man than never te be idle; an idler is like a housekeeper who keeps the doers open for any burglar that wants te get in." Signed August 25, 1922. QMfjrmafa The Wanamaker Stere Will Be Closed Tomorrow Summer Saturday Holiday "She Wasn't Heme, But I Knew She Is Charming" said the visitor privileged te spend a few moments in a lady's living room. "Hew de I knew? By her chairs, sofas, tables, lamps, rugs, hangings, books, writing desk, flowers, pictures. Everything in the room spoke with silent but eloquent tongue of a woman of geed taste and refinement; sense of order, harmony and beauty ; love of dig nity and sincerity; and thoughtfulness for the comfort of every person enter ing the room." It happened that he was right. His unseen hostess was a woman of unusual charm and graciousness, both in person and character. Her personal ity was reflected in her home. And a woman's home always does reflect her personality and taste. It may be a mere comfortless show case, intended te display hew much money she has te spend. Or a meaningless clutter, without design, order or attraction. Or a restful, beautiful place, whose every room invites you te linger and makes you happy and comfortable as long as you stay ! It is surprising hew little mere money has te de with the making of such a home. East, West, North and Seuth, all ever the country, homes of genuine comfort and charm are being outfitted at surprisingly small cost in this Aug ust Furniture Sale. The important thing in making any home is te begin with the right kind of furniture. It would be hard te find any ether kind in this Sale. Everything en these three famous furniture floors is in the August Sale at 10 te 50 per icent less than usual. Heme-makers who wish beauty and comfort at little price arc profiling most by the Sale. "Oh the Wild Charge They Made!" But we sustained it. Ne ether store would have dared te order se much furniture, and no ether store would have been able te meet se strong a demand. "They" are the home-makers and home-furnishers and home home levers, who have feaste'd en the opportunities of this August Sale, starting from its first hour. Mere furniture than has ever before changed hands in a single retail sale-event has been sold in this August Sale. Yet, we still bid you a hearty welcome te the Sale, as confident that it can serve you in its closing days as when it first opened, one month age. "Hew cati you de it?" people ask, astonished at the continuing display, its strength in qualities, in assortment. Hew can the Niagara River keep en unceasingly tossing water, water, water, ever the brink of the majestic American Falls, in mighty volume representing several millions of horse power, exceeding in force any ether water-power or steam-power in the world? M Would Be Mere Wonderful If It DIDN'T Ge Over That Way" the practical minded tourist's answer te the exclamation of his mere effusive companion applies very well te the case. The rushing Niagara River, fed by perpetual springs, at this point in its course meets a shelving rock, 4750 feet wide, and (at the American Falls) 164 feet above the river-bed below. What can it de, but pour ever in unstayable force, te impress all beholders, and with a rear and a spray that is felt and heard from far away? ' The energy of the "Wanamaker great August Furniture move ment, in comparison with contemporary retail furniture offerings, is as the energy of Niagara Falls compared with that of miner cataracts. Fed from exhaustless sources, its streams of reinforcing stocks are never stayed, however fast the stream of selling moves, however hastened by the momentum of a sheer drop in August prices, amounting te ten, twenty and all the way downward te fifty per cent below regular furniture figures. As an example, in came a new consignment a couple of days age, of $50,000 of fine furniture which should have arrived a bit earlier. All te the geed for you, whose furniture needs are net yet satisfied, for into the Sale it gees, just the same, but at even lower prices than were at first intended a flat reduction te 50 per cent of their regular prices. We Cannet Prophesy Smeeth Things Concerning Future Furniture Prices because we have no conviction that they would be true things. Hew are lumber prices, down your way? Same everywhere else, except where they're mere se. It is our business te survey the furniture market as far ahead as can be seen. All business conditions being considered, we are warranted in believing that general prices at this moment are as low as they can go. It is a matter net of belief, but of fact, that Wanamaker August Sale prices en furniture are 10 te 50 per cent lower than general market prices; f .. And that even Wanamaker August Sale prices have but four mere selling days te last; And that qualities are as excellent as when the Furniture Sale started, which is saying the highest that could possibly be said in praise of any furniture. l , ' ',' , r-V"''t: ' tFxSA ' ' ''' , t,''" Here Are Seme of the Examples of Splendid Dining-Roem and Bedroom Suits at Half They are opportunities that must be seized quickly.
