Tomorrow Is the Day te Make A dvance Selections in the Original
and Unrivaled February Furniture Sale
There's a Little Sailboat en the
Bay Idle at the Same Point
.for the past two- hours.
What de you suppose is the reason for its
stepping there se long?
The boatman with whom you are speaking
says it has no engine and it is stagnant because
there is no force te fill its sails when the wind
dies down.
Can it be possible that the idle men are
stagnant, tee, unable te sail for days and years
out of the Lake of Indolence?
What would a city of stagnant men
become?
Signed
Janvarv 27, JOSS.

Quality as a word used lightly in advertising and
quality as a fact worked out in concrete form in merchan
dise are two very different things.
We believe in this last kind of quality and we have the
furniture te show for it.
The greatest collection of quality furniture ever
brought together by any store is here and in the warehouse
te insure that with this February Sale we are going te set
up a new landmark in service and advantage te everybody

ing the fine lines of the old-time productions with all the
constructive improvements of our day.

beautiful that even if one should have no need of new furni
ture it is worth coming many miles te see.
And it is an assemblage which nobody who does need
new furniture can afford net te see.
