Reply to the Letter, MR._L 1 i ' Dear Sir: In reply to your letter, you can undoubtedly save considerable in making your purchases at present Great Reduction Sale. We avoid sensations in business, and for six years have not advertised a special sale, but having in view some plans of re-organization, we threw almost our entire stock upon tne market at modified prices to doubly rapid sales. People generally are quick to perceive manifest advantages, and promptly seized great lots of our Blankets. Linens, Laces, Silks and Housefurnishings. We jlid not buy ten thousand dollars of "jobs" to make baits for a sale, but simply reduced and offered nearly two million's of dollars of the regular goods, suqh as wc always expect to keep j customers who depend on us. Several hundred thousand dollars worth have been sold, but | there are great quantities being brought out of reserve stocks daily. Your should make your selections for present or near future wants without I delay, and we will box up and store the goods for """ you till your house is in readiness. Yours truly, (Signed) JOHN WANAMAKER. Philadelphia, January 19, 1884.
