" LINDE 30th ANNIVERSARY
February Furniture Sale
Congested railroads, freight embargoes, labor shortage
and snow storms cannot stop the tremendous impetus of this
big sale because we prepared for it long before these influences
could harm it in the slightest degree. We were ready two
weeks ago. Stocks are all in. Assortments are complete.
All NEW goods.
Comparison will speedily show you that this is the
PEOPLE'S Furniture Sale. The values here are far
greater than anywhere else, as your own eyes and your
own good common sense will tell you. Our $100fi00 a
year location and. expense saving is working hard for
you this month, come and see how wonderfully far a
few dollars will reach.
