It is simply a matter of having what people want and letting them know. If our long practical experience in the furniture business has taught us anything more than another it is that people want good furniture. It is natural and inevitable that they should, because the one thing that practical experience in homekeeping teaches is that inferior furniture is not worth house-room except when no other kirid can be had. Inferior furniture has no excuse for existence today, but it does exist in spite of that fact, and it exists chiefly because it is made to meet a seemingly low price, and there are people who are caught by alluring price-tags; but their number is bound to gradually decrease with the rising standard of public intelligence.
