A dozen years ago we inaugarated in Philadelphia the unheard-of idea of buying furniture away ahead of the public demand, and when manufacturers, at certain dull periods of the year at their worlds, were glad to sell at the bare cost of the making. It look e d like a disastrous undertaking to those who knew the furniture business best, but who had not tested human nature, and the dynamic, power of real economy when it was made to rightly appeal to thrift. How well the movement prospered is best evidenced by the pop ularity of imitation sales today—but sales which need no comment from us when the opportunity for comparison is open. Nowhere else is the vital power of the Wanamaker movement— the ability to buy out factories entire— to take fine g o o d s as well as cheap; and to distribute the large quantities so quickly that scant profit and no loss is added to the extremely low prices that manufacturers arc willing to accept at these occasions. This year we have many thousands of dollars’ worth of fine Furniture & m factories which would not co-operate with us before—goods of a character never seen pre msly in an under-price sale, except perhaps a few odd pieces in some dealer’s clean-up. The scope of the August movement has broadened marvelously. This year les of fur niture «re better, fuller, completer—quality is higher, prices are lower than ever fore. Our floors are full and overflowing with the B r o a d e st, F in e s t, C o m p letest C o llection of F u r n iture W e H a v e E v e r Offered U n d er-prlce Of course not all the furniture on our floors is reduced. Much of our regular 5 .cl: can not be removed. But the tags tell the story so plainly that there can be no confus n ; and the under-pneed goods are in overwhelming majority. Whether you wish to furnish a cozy little house in an inexpensive manner, r wish to furnish a mansion in the most elegant style, the furniture is here—broad in va ety, and at radical concessions in price in either case. This is the great money-saving occasion of the year for Furniture buying.
