but if we know and are sure where it ends, that's
quite enough.
But its ending is not a matter of chance.
One has to map out his journey and keep on
steadily, according to the map, despite hurricanes,
rainy days and often dark nights.
, To feel sure, however long and winding it is
, that you are safe and making progress and will
anchor at the right dock is the whole thing. A map
is of no use unless you consult it and mark where
to look for lighthouses.

For any sale to be the best sale from the
customer's standpoint it must present the
greatest choice of the most desirable furniture
at prices which the customer cannot improve
upon. The sale of which that is true cannot
help being the best sale for you to buy your
furniture in.
That it is true of this sale there is no doubt.
It is as clear as can be that the variety of desirable furniture in this sale is incompara1
greater than can be found anywhere outside of it.
