Street Floor, Old Bullding Augu 18 August Furniture Sale Good furniture for good home-makers Telephone 4700 Stuyvesant People are Buying More Furniture than ever before in the August Sale ] All of our former records in both dollars and Mk of sales have been exceeded — greatly ex- ceeded. This is a significant sign of the times. “The United States is approaching an era of prosperity unprecedented in the history of this great nation,” says the President of the National Association of Manufacturers. “Every great finan- cier, industrialist and economist in the country sees ahead just such an era based on sane, sober, steady, conservative development.” Building certainly is tremendously active. Although metropolitan New York leads the coun- try, booms are active in other districts also. -Next to New York and Northern New Jersey the dis- trict largest in home construction is Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Both of these districts are served by our two stores in New York and Philadelphia, and this per- haps explains some of the large increase in the Wanamaker August Furniture Sale. But the unusual character of the furniture, the large vari- ety and the low prices—lowest in seven years— has still more to do with the Sale’s success. Whether you want a dining-room suite for $157, or one for $2,000, this is the Sale that brings the largest selections of desirable furniture. You may want to pay no more than $104 for a bedroom suite, or you may want one for $5,000. In either case, variety and value are greatest. You can buy a three-piece overstuffed, tapestry- covered living-room suite for $123, and from this the variety ranges up to a superb upholstered suite at several thousand dol'ars. The showing of medium priced furniture for all rooms was never as large as in this Sale.
