Daily
Every day since the Sale started the SELLING HAS BEEN
GREATER than on the corresponding day of last August. We are very
sure that every customer will have cause for SELF-CONGRATULATION.
Furniture can be bought NOW for considerably less money than after this
August Sale ends. We wish prices were lower, but we cannot control cost
of production. We also wish we could avoid even a mention of higher prices;
but we are merchandising and advertising in the INTEREST OF THE
PUBLIC, and we must tell you frankly that we paid less for the Furniture
we now own than we should have to pay to-day for the same Furniture.
This being true, and it being true that OUR ENTIRE STOCK IS
MARKED AT LESS THAN OUR FAIR REGULAR PRICES, need we
offer any further argument as to the wisdom of BUYING NOW any Furni
ture you need or will need within the next six months?
We have a splendidly varied stock of Dining-room, Living-room and Bed
room Furniture, in Period designs, and hundreds of separate pieces chairs,
tables, desks, bureaus, china closets, bedsteads and novelty pieces, all at
reduced prices; also our entire stock of Summer Furniture, for porch, cottage
and. lawn, at a worth-while reduction. And we wish to again direct attention
to the SPECIAL SECTION in the East Store (third floor), where, we have
gathered an EXTRA-SPECIAL group of upholstered, three-piece LIVING
ROOM SUITS, at an average SAVING OF ABOUT ONE-THIRD.
