The furniture you want is the furniture that satis fies your desire for graceful and beautiful lines, for genuine stability and service qualities and for real economy. We go on record for the statement that by far the largest stock of furniture of that kind to be found at retail is back of this sale, and we hope you will put our words to the test by coming in and seeing the goods. in this case "seeing is believing."
