Great Furniture Values
Within Reach of Everyone
T Just when thousands are buying and planning to buy Furniture to put their
7-U homes in order for Spring and Summer the Vau Sciver Store has done the
right thing at the opportune time.
sf We have just completed a survey of the immense stocks covering the acres of our sales floors.
Suite by Suite and Piece by Piece we have picked and culled the recently discontinued lines,
the Odd Suites, Single Pieces and remainder lots from the heavy selling of the late Winter
weeks, and marked thousands of dollars worth of this Furniture at prices lower than anything
we have offered in the Furniture line in years. Lower, we feel confident, than Furniture of
similar character can be found any place Furniture is sold.
fj There is not a Suite or a Piece that isn't characterized by the trustworthy construction and
the correct and elegant styles that have made Van Sciver Furniture famous the country over.
U Aside from these extraordinary reductions, made from the new lowered prices, our spacious
galleries are filled with thousands of Suites and Pieces that represent savings unmatched any
where we know of. Proverbially fine and traditionally durable Furniture whose quality and
value have carried the prestige of this House to front rank in the Furniture World. Furniture
on which we save you the middleman's profits, whether made in our own or other great fac
tories of the country.
