The Charrfi of Willow Furniture
and a 30 Per Cent Saving
Have you ever thought of what a wonderful thing is willow furniture?
Have you not had experience of the peculiarly restful, comforting feeling that a
willow chafr can impart?
The reason is in the pliancy, the subtle resilience, the yielding, yet firmness of the
interwoven rods.
No other furniture possesses this same quality certainly not in the same degree.
That is why willow furniture is so much liked and why it is so much in demand, not
only for sun parlors and enclosed porches where it is simply delightful, but for living
rooms, bedrooms, ante-rooms, dens, every place to which people go for ease and rest.
Will you please think of this in conjunction with the fact that hardly anything that
is as comfortable as a willow chair or rocker costs as little, and that we are now offering
a lot of willow furniture at 30 per cent less than the regular fair prices.
These goods are a recent special purchase.
You may choose individual pieces or complete suits in various enamels and stains.
Chairs, $8.50 to $46. ' Settees, $26 to $58.
Rockers, $9.50 to $31.50. Tables, $8.75 to $105.
