a GOES AWAY 4S TOSTUDY TRANSIT IN CITIES ABROAD: Commissioner Willcox and Former Comptrofer Metz Sail Abroad in Same Ship. ‘Dr, O. M. Letser of the Health de} ment agd physician-in-chtet to Glents, sailed to-day on the Mauretania, ‘The doctor was placed at the same ta. ble with Herman Ag Metz, Chairman Willcox of the Public Service Commis. sion; J. Sergeant Cram cf the same commission, ani Robert Adamson, sec- retary to the Mayor. If Mr. Adamson's diplomacy fatts to which {8 threatened, Dr. Leteer's strenuous experience on the field of action will be much needed, At the dining room ringside also will be Louts Selbold. Mr. Metz gave the first indication of the he nged that sort of greeting with Chairman Willcox that two life enemies xive each other at a wake where both have to keep outward peace. When he was asked about local matters he began with the subway and nai: “You can characterize all of the sub- way negotiations with one word— ¥-A-K-E"—he spelled it out loud. “I am gotng to spend one day in London and then go to Germany,” he sandwiched into the conversation and resumed on subways: “People are talking about subways who don’t know anything about subways, What the people want ts 10 for five cents. “You don't war pay for the ure of two telephone » end you don't want to pay for two street car systems, either.” 3.

Store Closes An August Sale of Furniture Without Competition It is stating a fact well known at least to the trade that only two furniture stores in the country can fairly claim to rank with Wanamaker’s. One is a specialty house in Boston. The other i is also an exclusive house in the West. In making the comparison we have in mind quatity and variety of the furni- ture, taste in design, volume of stock and sales and the prices asked. UNDOUBTEDLY THERE IS NO FURNITURE STOCK TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES THAT EQUALS IN VOLUME AND SCOPE THAT WHICH | FORMS THIS AUGUST SALE. When we say this we are not adding in our Philadelphia Store’s stock, which is about as large as this and which therefore doubles our buying capacity and buying power—a factor that always results in lower prices. The great selling outlet that such a large business always brings makes it worth while for certain good manufacturers to co-operate with us. In New York alone we buy from them more than all the other furniture stores here would buy together. Some of this very choice furniture that we have had made for us we control to an extent that we can make very special prices for this August sale. Certain Exhibition pieces that have served their purpose are marked to half their former prices or less. Byt the Public Has a Right to Be Suspicious of Half Price Furniture What was the reason for marking it double its present price and why did it not sell? Where you find half-price pieces in our stock, kindly ask the reason— the story back of it will explain away any doubts. Among the more exclusive furniture is an exquisite bedroom set of six large pieces with twin beds mounted with mercury etched brass. The August price for these six pieces is $437.50. In exclusive furniture shops a set of this character would sell for $1,000 or more. Yet this set in design and finish is quite as exclusive as though it were found in a royal mansion, A very handsome Sheraton mahogany bedroom suite of four pieces for $635 would make a fine wedding gift for some one—or perhaps a birthday gift. It will be an heirloom that can be handed down for several generations. The four pieces will easily furnish an entire bedroom, as the bed is a four-poster with canopy top and the other pieces are very large, especially the cheval dresser, which is really two pieces in one, and which is equipped with very fine mirrors, The entire suite is only $635. People Passing Through New York On their way to or from their holidays, or families summering near by, within a day’s journey of the city, may be glad to have some information about the things that are in the August Sale. Where a room is to be furnished, or an entire home refurnished, they will find that pieces here are as beautiful as their dreams. There are poems in furniture, For example, a fine satinwood five-piece bedroom suite that will glorify a room in itself; og this Early English Colonial sideboard, practically of solid mahogany, excepting some details—that may be bought for $130. And speaking of sideboards, some people think of mahogany sideboards and long for them and then dismiss them from their minds because they cost so much. But there are many costly things here that because of peculiar circumstances are no higher in price than very inferior goods being sold elsewhere. A special group of mahogany dining room furniture is exquisite. It is for | people wko like plain things that are true to the heart without the gewgaws and filigree work. This furniture is of solid mahogany, made simply and without ex- travagances in order to give the exceptional quality without the extravagant price. Sideboards of this solid mahogany run as low as $42, and up to $75; serving tables for as little as $18; clrina closets for as little as $34; extension tables for $52. Because we talk so much today of the fine furniture, please do not think that moderate cost furniture is not here also, It is--and it is of a character that can be depended upon, however low the price. WE SHALL NEVER PLACE IN YOUR HOMES, TO ADVERTISE AND MARK US DOWN, ANYTHING THAT WILL NOT BACK US UP WITH A GOOD REPUTATION, Even the fine pieces in the House Palatial are in the sale, but also the inexpen- sive things in the Moderate Cost Apartments —our entire stock fromtop to bottom lowered in price from 10 to 50 per cent.—the average being well over a fourth. We are not new in this business, having been at it more than thirty years— at it in New York for fifteen years, It takes a long time to bind to us the best manufacturers of the land. Furniture of the kind we offer cannot be gathered in a night. For the First Time in New York City We Offer Brass Beds Guaranteed for Five Years Our guarantee covers the quality of the material, the method of the construc- tion and the wearing quality of the lacquer that covers the brass. We hold the makers and our customers hold us for five years. The most popular beds are satin finish, but the lacquer on the bright finish wears longer. Some of our manufacturers were willing to guarantee the bright | polish brass beds for ten years. As a matter of fact beds of the quality we are selling have been used in some of the prominent hotels of New York for more than ten years and have never needed refinishing. Prices of brass beds range from $7.50 to $200, Sth, 6th and 7th Galleries, New Bullding, JOHN WANAMAKER Formerly A. T.
