The Reason Why
The Annual Sale of Carpets, Furniture and Upholstery
Goods is attracting more than passing attention. Price is
not always the first-consideration, and so we find that
there are two reasons why this sale is of more than
passing interest: First the prices are the lowest the
present market will permit. Second -the styles are the
newest that money can buy. What more can we say ?
