For it is enjoyable, informative and inter esting because it presents in almost endless variety those things which go to the making of home. It does not require an excessively vivid imagination to invest furniture with personality, to see in the contents of this spacious build ing not mere merchandise alone, but the intimate and beautiful things of thou sands of homes that are yet to be com pleted or created. We like to think that the growth and success of our business has been due in some measure to this view that we have taken of it, to this breadth of vision that has from the very beginning enabled us to see in our merchandise not merely the material things of exchange and barter, but the nuclei of myriad future homes. "The better the day, the better tho deed" runs the old adage, and 'twould be hard indeed to find a better day than this, the Birthday of the Father of Our Country, to visit the Store that has shared in the making of so many American homes.
