A GREAT REDUCTION SALE v ORGANIZED BY JOHN WANAMAHER, personally at his principal establishment, Thirteenth Street, Commencing Wednesday, Jan. 2d, 1884.

PARTICULARS. I Always careful to avoid all sensation^ in this business, and not^ such a sale in six years as now projected, we put plainly before the people all the points of the sale, taking the people fully and t into our confidence, desiring that every lady in Pennsylvania, 1 New Jersey and Maryland should fully understand all about it, and : make the most of the golden opportunity. 1** |; Object of the Sale. To make certain important changes in our business ; with a view of further extending and improving it. | 2 Character of Goods. The full regular.stock of forty-six distinct departmenu, gathered with utmost care by skilled buyers for the purpose of building up and maintaining permanent trade. Not out of date, damaged or imperfect goods, but j the very best of all classes of goods — indeed, we keep no other at any season. This is a sale, not of broken stock, but of the kinds and qualities of' goods always wanted. 9 Extent. T .. .1,- ,,,1„„ rJ Ai.Sso.ooo, if tlm. jroojxlc sit will i - ing. This amount is now here and ready in our warehouses and salesrooms. fl. Explanation. When the severest cut of prices occurs, it is not | from any fault in the goods, but because of some- j body's oversight in hiding away the stock, so that it 1 has escaped notice, and remains unsold. 5 Details. It is impossible, and too expensive, to give more 1 than a few examples of prices. No store is Afccasy 1 to visit and get prices as ours. We give only the I : ABC's
