John Wanamaker Philadelphia
Giving' Notice of a Reduction 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
glue pot furniture but does contain an immense
amount of good furniture at very low prices.
During August AH of This
Furniture Will he Reduced
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 our 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 thev can get better furniture in the
Wanamaker Sale and at lower prices than elsewhere;
and we intend that none such shall be disappointed.
If You Have a Trip to Make to the
Seashore, Make It Now
* I
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.

ARE WRINKLES CAUSED BY
MODERN SOCIAL LIFE
Often the papers and magazines
have made the rather broad statement
that modern social life is the only
cause for wrinkles. Undoubtedly mod
ern social life contributes some to
the existence of wrinkles, but one can
hardly say it is the cause. However,
the wrinkles do come and old age
has never made for attractiveness,
so we use the best means to resist
the tell-tale marks. A search for the
very best in wrinkle eradicators has
brought us to this formula for an
economica vegetable jelly cream as
the simplest wrinkle remover and skin
stimulator. Its mask-like action pro
tects the surface while It stimulates
the blood vessels to perform their up
building work. Just get from your
druggist an ounce of almozoin, put It
into a fruit jar and add a half a pint
of water. Before retiring apply rather
thickly over wrinkled or flabby sur
face and allow it to dry. It will
harden rapidly and you will note a
slight tightening of the skin. In the
morning remove with hot water and
note the immediate effect which you
will And lasting.—Advertisement.
