They were afraid of the consequences and made no secret of their fear, Tilustrating the extent of the police knowledge of the place, an Evening World reporter last night stopped a policeman a short distance from it and asked him: “Do you know a flower and feather place around here?” “You mean ‘Dollar John's?’ the policeman asked, “Yes.” “Right over the Century Lunch, on Sixth Avenue, and you'll find it,” he cheerfully volunt<>red.

For sheer, downright economy, combined with quality and broadest choice, there is nothing like it—nothing to equal it— nothing to approach it in the City! The reason lies in the condition of the 1915 furniture market—a condition that created unprecedented activity in furniture sales, but left the big advantage with Macy’s. Manufacturers needed orders and cash to keep their factories going. Some great stores did place orders—but only to promote sales ON CREDIT. They bought largely, but asked extensions—two, three and six months to pay! Is it any wonder that Macy’s offers—-backed by immediate, ready CASH —received consideration above all others? Is it any wonder that we got all we wanted— lower prices, greater concessions and the pick of the finest stocks in the country? Prove it! Go elsewhere—select what you want and have it laid agide for you, noting carefully prices and qualities. BUT DON’T BUY—WAIT! Come to Macy’s Furniture Sale—and find the identical pieces here, at a CASH price in which the cont of credit—‘‘charge accounts” or “weekly payments” does not fi at all, Macy prices will prove how ‘well you could afford to wait!, Make COMPARISON the basis of buying!
