The Days Are Passing, but the Goods Are Still Abundant
in the February ;
Furniture Sale
There Are Some Men, and
Women, Too
somewhat like the horse-chestnut tree, that
makes all its growth of fruit in about four weeks
and stands the remainder of the Summer with
out swelling a bud or bearing a new leaf.
As has been said, our type should be the
orange tree that is never without green leaves,
never without white blossoms, never without
"fruit that is setting" and never without
ripening fruit.
The age of an individual or a business such
as this does not except either of us from activi
ties for continuance in fruit bearing.

Looking- at the furniture situation in a clear, practical light, it
is easy to see that there are hundreds of homes, north, south, east and1
west, all requiring some new furniture, but each having its own
peculiar needs. Now the Sale that provides the right kinds of furni
ture for the varying requirements of all of these various kinds of
homes and prdvides it at the lowest prices consistent with quality is
inevitably the best sale for the owners of all these homes to come to
for new furniture.
Looking without bias, one way or another, at this stock of furmV
ture as it stands today, and knowing the whole furniture field as wev
cannot help knowing it, we can honestly say that this is manifestly
the great furniture sale for all the people.
This is the Sale that provides the greatest number and choice of
desirable things for the varying needs of all the various kinds oft
homes there are.
This is the Sale that provides the greatest choice of dependable'
and desirable things at prices that are low, but not dangerously low.
In saying this we are merely emphasizing the fundamental
realities of this February event, because, after all, there is no getting
away from fundamentals either in making furniture to last or a,
furniture sale to grow.

'Sleep On It"
is sage advice, in whatever connection .given, but can you always sleep on it?
Sometimes it is easier to sleep on a momentous decision or a problem bristling
with intricacies, and to rise in the morning refreshed and serene, than on a bed in
a perfectly lovely home.
It depends something on the conscience, n little on the age and state of health
of the sleeper, but to a surprising degree )
The mattress has the say and the sway over one-third of your
life's happiness
for one-third of your life is spent in bed, and even a professional optimist is hard put
to it to be happy while tossing in wakefulness, while even a professional pessimist
forgets his profession in his sleep.
This thought gives importance to the
February Sale of Mattresses,
Box Springs and Pillows
These aie our own tegular, teliable stocks,
such as we sell the year round. The only differ
ence is that for this February Sale they are
priced from 10 jwr cent to 20 per cent below reg
ular. We have only one standard of quality in bed
ding, and that is the highest standard attain
able at each price. Every mattress, every box
spring, every pillow, every bolster offered in the
Sale meet that standard. .
We ourselves make all the hair mattresses we
sell, and during the February Sale you can have
mattresses made to order in any one of 18 dif
ferent grades and in any size desired, at the
following reduced prices:
Hair Mattresses, regular double-bed size, 4.6x0.4
