There is always a market for the goods that people want, espe cially when priced are brought down as they are now. Our whole furniture stock offered at a deduction of 331 per cent, except some lots at a deduction of 50 per cent. This is believed to be the greatest offer ever made in furniture. It is surely the greatest opportunity that homekeepers have had in years. Of course, common sense will again tell you that the significance of all such offerings depends entirely upon the goods that are back of them, the quan tity of them and the character of them. Back of this offer is the largest and finest stock of furniture at retail in America. It is the first time to our knowledge that such a stock has ever been thrown open in its entirety to the public for choosing at a minimum price advantage of one-third. The people are very much alive to what it all means to them.
