Gimbel Brothers MARKET i CHESTNUT EIGHTH NINTH This Nelson furnituro was put in work for exacting customers and is ns good na it is beautiful. Thursday, May 12, 1021 For Friday To Sell the Good FURNITURE Made by the M. L. Nelson Furniture Company, in Bankruptcy The M. L. Nelson Furniture Company owned and operated one factory in Indiana and two factories at good producing points in Ohio. Under business stress, last December, when the Company was flooded with countermands of orders, it succumbed and its affairs were placed in the hands of a creditors' committee and application for bankruptcy was made. It is thoroughly good furniture, in its variety, meeting very general need, and in its good styles offering that satis faction a person seeks in furniture that has to be lived with for a very long time. Ssi zS o- W - Mt,- aV. -TfcvJ Kjan- fi -"U .r -v- 1 V W Sl4tltta W7 ajfJgHMRMtol BaT'"(i'BSlIi ill 'l FACTORY IN INDIANA FACTORY NO. 1, IN OHIO It is furniture of Gimbel standard and we have Philadelphia's share of the very extensive stocks to sell At Half and Less Than Half the Expected Prices Chiefly bedroom and dining-room furniture, the effects of the crash were to hasten the sale to us by other concerns of living-room furniture. Therefore The Sale Will Embrace Furniture for the Whole House Business swings like the pendulum of a clock. The pendulum at rest represents normal values and usual selling. Under war and post-war conditions producing costs, both for labor and materials, started the pendulum swinging toward higher prices. To make matters worse, cabinet makers found other work than usual furniture making, and production was lessened, while the millions with full purses improved their home equipment. Then came a partial return of workers to furniture production and the M. L. Nelson Company secured good orders, only to have many of them revoked by cancellation, when retailers faced, early last winter, a shrinkage in volume of sales that really never materialized. But. the harm was done. And the good furniture made, and in process of making, has, by the calamity of the company's collapse, swung this pendulum the other way, and from high prices the sweep has been to Prices Far Under Profitable Production Value The furniture at command bulks a very large total, but individual lots are in many cases limited. It is possible that a suite advertised the second day of the sale may be sold before many customers arrive But that happens in any such move ment and last as lots may THE SALE WILL OPEN MONDAY MORNING, 16th Many men are busied in getting the furniture ready and You Are Invited to Come in Before Monday to Examine and to Select, if That Serves Your Purpose FACTORY NO. '2, IN OHIO In fairness, the furniture must be available to all until actually sold ; hence, every sale must be final. Exchanges, credits and refunds cannot be allowed. Payments for furniture may be extended over a long period, with full advantage of the sale's economies. Monday the sale opens. Right Nowthe furniture can be seen and selections made. Bedroom Suites, $125 to $750, Values $250 to $1600 Dining-room Suites, $150 to $1100, Values $300 to $2200 Living-room Suites, $185 to $1750, Values $400 to $3500 . Glrabrla, Hlilh Hoar. tr P)
