There were acres and acres of this furniture filling six huge ex position buildings. In addition were the Expositions of 22 local Grand Rapids factories. A thousand furniture salesmen and a thoumind furniture dealers were in attendance. We looked at furniture until our heads swam. We talked furniture and had furniture talked to us until we were almost tongue-tied and deaf. From it all I came away with these clear thoughts: 1. Th seen the greatest collection of furniture in the world. America’s best furniture. When I came back to the Store and went over the furniture to be offered in this August Sale I saw this clearly: 1. At Wanamaker’s is the pick of the Grand Rapids furniture mar- ket—together with the best ex- amples of certain manufacturers not exhibiting there. 2. Wanamaker's retail prices in this August Sale are as low, in many instances, as the wholesale prices at Grand Rapids—in some cases lower —-actually down to half the usual retail figures. Efficiency High— Price Low Long before our government asked the nation’s industries to speed up and save waste in pro duction, efficiency came into the furniture industry. Efficiency came largely as a re- sult of the Grand Rapids Expo- sition, which makes each manu- facturer lay down his samples in open competition with all other manufacturers, No other merchandise is sub: mitted to’ such open, candid, searching competition as furniture. A dealer goes through one exhibit “T like this bedroom set,” he says, “put I will look at So-and-Sc across the way.”” He looks. Com s. Inspects the woods, the | the design. Then compares the prices. In this way he is bound to get the best. And each manu facturer is bound to come up to scratch with his furniture, or it will not sell Pe fini And this is just what the Grand Rapids Exposition has done to fure niture— it has raised the standard, made production more efficient, and lowered prices—yes, actually lowered prices in the face of ad vancing cost of materials and labor.
