Furniture Values Nearer the
Low Prices Everybody Wants
Than Can be Found Any where
gT A statement which we fully realize that our customers and the public, acquainted with the
J-. integrity of the Van Stiver House, will take at its full value. Our best evidence is the Furni
ture, six acres of it, as superb an exhibit as we ever assembled, and our best proof is the values,
the kind that open the eyes of all who come.
C Whittling down our profits to cut the costs of Furniture to our customers has been the habit
of this Great House from the days of its modest beginning. Van Stiver priceshave always
been the lowest, otherwise we never would have grown from the smallest store in Camden to
the greatest Furniture-factory Store in America. Now, when the world's business is turning a
critical corner we are making greater sacrifices than in years helping to relieve our customers
from the high-cost pressure by bringing Furniture prices within reasonable reach of all.
C
Among the opportunities are recent purchases of high-grade Furniture
bought at extraordinary reductions from manufacturers in need of funds.
All of which is marked still lower than the low prices that have made
the Van Stiver Store one of the most favorably talked of in the homes as
well as one of the bast patronized of the few really great furniture
houses in the United States.
