J5a o TViis Furniture Sale The Good Breeding of Ourselves Is the Best Protection From Bad, Manners It is not our duty to reprove ill-bred people. Not noticing gruffness and disagreeable manners of thoughtless or un educated people has been found to be the most mannerly and useful thing to do in such cases. Each of us can be an athlete by preparation and practice in the fibers of the mind as well as the muscles of the body. We can be a roofless sample of a man or we can, by silent study of others and by much patience, make ourselves, with- Mout deception or trickery, pleasing to every one with whom we come in contact so that he cannot but have a kindly memory of us. The human system needs a good deal of daily oiling-up to be in perfect, order for "the day's run." , Realize that this Store is intended to be the head quarters of civility as well as of properly priced merchan dise of largest assortment.
