Giving' Notice of a Redaction in
Prices of the Largest and Finest
Furniture Stock in America
In an Augus
The six-acre furniture stock of the Wanamaker
Store in Philadelphia is famous all over the country
for its sound quality, its correct and tasteful design
and its moderate prices.
It is equaled nowhere except in the Wanamaker
New York Store.
It contains no cheap furniture whatever — no
gluepot furniture but does contain an immense
amount of good furniture at very low prices.
During August
Furniture Will
in Price
\
In some cases the reduction will be as little as 10
per cent; in others it will be as much as 50 per cent. In
every case the saving will be actual— as real as money
in the bank.
Besides the stocks on hand, we have brought in
$200,000 worth of furniture to sell at special prices.
The savings on these special purchases of furni
ture will amount to about 33 per cent; and they are
made possible by our arranging to keep several manu
factories at work through the dull season, when other
wise they would shut down.
Three Days to Buy in Advance
To relieve the great pressure experienced former
ly on opening days of ou * August Sales, we have desig
nated next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 29,
30 and 31, as "inspection" or "courtesy" days, on
which furniture may be seen and selections made
from it, though all transactions will date from
August 3.
People Coming From a Distance
as more and more people do every year now to par
ticipate in the considerable savings of this Sale, can
complete their purchases on any of these three in
spection days or can wait until after the formal open
ing on August 3, if they prefer. The best choice, of
course, will be to the first-comers.
Note: As to Your Home Stores
If there are stores in your home town that can
supply you with furniture as good as the Wanamaker
furniture and at prices as low as ours will be
throughout the month of August, then it is only fair
that you should make your purchases there. Our in
vitation to distant customers is intended only for those
who believe that they can get better furniture in the
Wanamaker Sale and at lower price§ than elsewhere;
and we intend that none such shall be disappointed.
If You Have a Trip to Make to the
Seashore, Make It Now
and stop off in Philadelphia at least for a sight of what *
we are told is the largest and finest stock of furniture
in America.
The low prices on such good furniture may be
very surprising to you.
- *With the exception of certain patented bookcases.

How old it he? Sh! Thats a secret
the Colonel is keeping to himself, for
he declares he does "not intend to get

the Colonel is 53, but he just smiled
and said:
"Well, I feel just as I did twenty-five
years ago. 1 Can walk, run, jump, ride
and shoot just about as well /low as
then. So what does it matter. I do
not intend to grow old."
