Lt S sl Being a new form of co-operative merchandising, ‘based on. true econamic principles and not copyrighted or patented (we have never:soughit-bo protect-our storckeeping methods) the Sale was soon copied far andnear. Today there are August Sales of Furniture-—in na.me,atleas&——:nmflywy & city and‘town of the United States and even in foreign countries. But conditions have changed since our first sales. Goodimsanufacturersnow make up furniture only when advance orders are received. They rarely Bave sur- plus stocks. And they plan their work to keep their fmmmlfl L the year. 4 ATl this is for the good of the furniture manufacturing industry, Hutitmalces harder each year the maintenance of a genuine August Sale.
