YN, Jan. M.apanese tot The charming wife of a fine young man whose firm unfortunately failed, alwa: spoke of the event as the ‘“‘Catastrophe.”’ She could not bring herself to use the word “failure.” We have the same feeling about the word “fire’’—-in advertising. “Fire Sales” are as far away from the Wanamaker idea of doing business as the North Pole is from the South. But unfortunately we had a fire—a real fire—in our furniture warehouse, at 27th Street and 12th Avenue, New York City, on the night of January 17th. That fire developed a human interest story of merchandising such as has never been chronicled before. It played a vital part in the preparation of our February Furniture Sale. It is of personal interest to the public. The story must, therefore, be told. But with our natural aversion to the word “fire’—in advertising—and to avoid any resemblance to a fire sale (which we detest as much as the reader does), we shall a “Conflagration.” weeks away. What to do! in business. follow the charming wife’s example and use another word. We shall call the fire It was a conflagration in its results. It destroyed 606% of all the furniture we ae bought specially for the February ale. It brought consternation. The opening day of the sale was two What to do! Before we could fairly even look the question in the face it was answered for us, Answered by many of our loyal fur- niture manufacturers who had read of the fire—beg pardon, the “‘conflag: and who fairly bombarded us with tele- grams and letters and telephone calls— cffering co-operation. Let no one say again there is no heart It was the heart that spoke in these messages of helpfulness. We shall never forget the offers that were made to us-— and the public will never forget, for, out of the fire—we mean the “‘conflagration”’ — through this instant co-operation by the furniture manufacturers of the country, has come the best February Furniture Sale we have ever been privileged to offer. One manufacturer of a large and well- known make of furniture came at once to New York to say that we could have his entire sample line at a substantial reduc- tion from his regular price; and he was prepared to ship the furniture at once, working night and day to make duplicates for his own selling. Another manufacturer cffered us ‘“‘the run” of his entire line of gocds, just manufactured for this season’s business, at a large reduction from his regular price. Many others came forwad with similar offers, so we believe we have selected an even better lot of merchandise than we had before the fi—the “conflagration” —and that we shall offer the best stock of February Furniture in our history. ion’— The Four Square Sides of the Sale First. The sale opens tomorrow, Thursday, First day of February, and continues every werking day in the month except Washington's Birthday, when the store will be closed. Today’s “Day of Courtesy” is only the beginning of our hospitality ¢x- tended to,hundreds, which we know will continue. Second, The sale includes every single piece of furniture stock, aggregating $673,100-- of which $282,000 is furniture pur- chased solely for the February Sale and not hitherto offered or shown at special prices. Third. All of this special furniture comes from our regular manufacturers who are constantly serving us, so that it is impos- sible to find here, at any price, furniture of inferior grade, although we had hundreds of opportunities, which we always refuse, to buy furniture of unknown or untried lines. Fourth. The actual savings in dollars to our customers in stock to be offered the first day are $157,100 which denotes an average reduction on individual pieces of 25 per cent. Some pieces are reduced less than 25 per cent., some much more, and many pieces as much as one-half. solemnly tnformy us, "Vor the girls | in @ crowd have for me a faycination Once I composed a few st the | milkmaid who stood tn her wagon near | the Jewn, rattling out milk punches to the boys.
