Bringing Your Own Good Sense to Bear on the Furniture!
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.

It is hardly necessary to tell anybody what sale that is.
Not a few who have been here and have gone through the displays have
said to us, "I didn't think you could have done it," and "I don't see how you could
have got such a stock of goods together." Well, it has been done. That is the great
thing.
The goods have been secured. i
They are here and there is nothing to compare with them anywhere.
Tomorrow is the second day for making advance selections. Displays are still intact and undisturbed. All furniture!
chosen tomorrow and Friday will be charged from Monday, August 2nd
