Not a bit of it As one of our friends is fond of saying, nothing is ataljbut death. rnHE Sale started July27th and has been visited by thousands of men, women and, we are glad to say, even" children, from pretty nearly the four corners of the v.1''. At this, moment we are crating a consignment of furniture to go to Costa Rica, Central America, not to mention the furniture" we are sending to places far distant from ana maker Square, Philadelphia, although located in our own United States.

Then there are the folks from points close at hand, thousands of John Wanamaker 'em, our valued neighbors and friends. Each of them behdd; and most of them bough Wanamiker Sale furniture. Naturally, this has left some impress on the Sale enough to make a quickstep advisable on the part of all with din mg room yet to buy. Yet our floor display of 200 different kinds of dining room suits, and the ressrve stocks in our capacious warehouses, are still sufficient to satisfy, and to delight hundreds of purchasers yet to come. Savings are sufficient to make it a mighty poor business proposition to buy furniture for your dining room after August 31st if you furnish it before.

The nearer to the current date you purchase it, the better business proposition. TOU wouldn't 1 think much of these fellow citi zens of yours who come in dairy and help themselves to Wanamaker furniture at Wanamaker August prices, if they did not help themselves to the best, would you?

We have bought in and brought in the finest output of the furniture market, at a period of national development when standards of taste and of construction are" higher than for years. Putting on the furniture lower prices than for years, even at WanamakerV ven in Augustcertainly does not lessen its charm.

Jacobean, Georgian, Louis XVI, Italian, Co lonial all the preferred period styles are here, and, of course; executed in the finest woods the lumber forests grow. Knowing that dining room furniture receives, perhaps, the hardest wear of any furniture in the house or that, anyway, more is expected from it than from any other pieces We have given as minute study to details making for substantiality in these hoadsome dining tables, buffets, WATCHMAKERS Ws have a number ef positions for all around watchmakers.
