What Next? This true story of this old horse market, on Juniper Street lot years ago. Forty years ago we erected galleries in the old one-story freight depot to create a floor to enable us to take on the furniture business. There were only two or three little tw.enty-foot-front furniture stores in the city in 1880, and the extensive layout and display of furniture under our roof t was an exciting wonder to the town for a long time. At first we could not get anything but ordinary furniture, and at one time we were on the eve of giving up the furniture business because we could not get any better goods. We actually sold off every piece on hand at a loss and then started all over again, demanding better wood, better workers, and materials that, had been shrunken at least , one year before a tool touched them. We never have been mere dealers in articles which look smart and sell easily at a profit. We tried always to get F. F. F. for our patrons. Furniture for Futurity We know the whitesmiths we can depend upon to work for us, and we keep some of them busy, all the year round to make furniture that embodies the spirit of this New Kind of Store New in Some Respects Every Year Makers of goods now know that only articles of worthiness, sure to satisfy our patrons, can be sold here.
