vVe now have the lar.gest stoc);: of Furniture we have ever owned, and this entire stock will be here in the February Sale at a substantial saving to OU!' C'ustOl1Wl'S.

Our regular stock-every piece and suit in the Store and ou r warehoufle-,yil!be lowered in price, the reductions ranging ~ : . l lt he w ay from 10 pel' cent. on regularnumbers in constant demand, to about 45 per cent. on odd pieces and ~ e s i g n sto be dis-continued.As in former years, however, the greater feature of attraction \",ill be the SPE-CIAL PURCHASES-the splendid lots of Furniture bought especially for this Februar y Sale, the average SAVING ON WHICH WILL BE FULLY ONE-THIRD. Thesepurchases were made many months ago-most of them in May of last year-longbefore anyone thought of the wa r coming to an end so soon, and when, in fact, someof our best manufac ture rs were divert ing their pl an ts to th e producing of wa rmaterials, ~ m ddosing out large quantities o f F ur ni tu re to cl ear their factories tofacilitate the handling of their Government contracts.

We expect and believe this will be by fa r our greatest February Sale-first,because our stock is larger and the values relatively 1110re attractive t han e ver; second, because many folks have delayed buying Furniture until after t he w ar, andbecause \ve shall have more than the usual number of spring weddings.Other hnportant Sales This Month- w. ll i n c l u d e - H o u s e f u r n i ~ h i n g s ,Laundry Sup
