When prices were rising beyond reason last Autumn, we threw on the market at a sacrifice more than four million dollars of our own bought-and- paid-for dry goods and general merchandise, checking the advance and regu- lating prices in conformity with the Government’s policy as applied to food, coal, steel and war supplies. Now a new emergency arises. Converging like the ribs of a fan, the channels of war supplies now flowing into this Atlantic port to be embarked touch all points of the Compass. In our own city,, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island; down the Connecticut §Valley; up the Hudson; through the Lehigh Valley; on the Jersey meadows and in contiguous districts, and on through Philadelphia to the West, great communities of war workers are springing up. In some places, notably along the Delaware, actually new cities of ten, fifteen and twenty-five thousand people are growing almost overnight. Well, now, these war workers are making new homes. The new homes need new furniture, floor coverings and other equipment. . Where shall the furniture come from? What priées shall be paid? Furniture factories are turning themselves to war work. Prices naturally are rising. To check this rise, to give war workers every opportunity to furnish their homes in economy, we have decided to advance the date of the August Sale of Furniture. to begin it now, to add fg it ae much furniture as we can buy at reasonable prices, offering a national war service to all homes that can take advantage of it. ~ To Back Up these Plain Words with Plain Facts Regular stocks of furniture in our New York Store and warehouses, all of which are included in the sale, total six hundred and five thousand, five hundred and twenty-one dollars, $605,521. ; Special purchases of furniture, already received in New York, in transit or to arrive during the period of the sale, one million and eight thousand, nine hundred and seventy-eight dollars, $1,008,978. NOTE—Haying just returned from the furniture market, for the sale, our repre- sentatives were immediately sent back to buy MORE furniture. The above figures will un- doubtedly be increased us the sale proceeds, All to be offered now at discounts of 10 to 50 per cent. from our regular prices, the average being 33 1-3 per cent. Some of the more important lots now ready are— One thousand and four pieces (1,004) of oak and enamel and mahogany finish bedroom furniture (with three additional carloads in transit and orders at the factories still to be filled), at prices from $8.25 to $24 for separate pieces——$30,000 worth of this staple furniture to be sold at a flat discount of 20 per cent. And this discount is offered in the face of a factory advance this week of 20 per cent. on this line of furniture. . Bureaus, $12.75 to $23.50 for $16 to $29.50 grades, Ae to $29 grades. Chiffoniers, $8.25 to $24, for $10.50 @o $30 50 for $12.50 to grades. Dressing tables, $12 to $23 Wooden bedsteads, $10 to $28.50 grades. Sound wood, good construction; all pieces guaranteed. And on these, as on all furniture, labor has been paid in full; the savings come out of our own pockets and of the manufacturers. , Forty-two thousand dollars of the famous Berkey & Gay bedroom and dining-room furniture at just half price itched suites in various woods and finishes, also some fancy pieces of living room and library furniture. Our regular patrons and the new war workers coming into New York and equip- ping somewhat more pretentious homes will find this furniture a very remark- able opportunity. Twenty-five thousand dollars of special quality highly finithed living- room and library sofas, arm chairs and matched suites in the very latest silk and tapestry covers, to be sold for about sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. All our Summer furniture, which has been 80 much admired and which ordinarily is not lowered in price until much later in the season, is included in the Sale at reduced prices. More than five thousand separate pieces of furniture are now on our floors alone; and our warehouses, the largest of their kind in the United States, are filled to the roof with duplicate pieces. Extra space is provided for the Sale, tw@ whole floors in the building at the corner of Eighth Street and Broadway being emptied of their contents and given over to furniture. All the: stocka are newly arranged and classified. The moderate priced furniture, both for the bedroom and dining-room, will be found on the Broad- way side of the Sixth floor, To repeat, so there may be no misunderstanding our regular August Sale of furniture advanced, enlarged and offering greater-than-usual economies and even lower priced merchandise, as a special service to war workers equipping their new homes. It is open to all people, of course, who ‘will not hesitate to take advantage of it. e Fifth, Sixth and Seventh GalleriedNew Building This sale }
