Make comparisons— we khow where you'll buy. Personal comparison of the various furniture stocks tell the whole truth to the whole public. And the people are comparing—we know that, be cause we are selling to many new patrons; to people who tell us they are going to “look around” but who come back where the money goes farthest. Goes farthest because quality when compared with price is more abundant. And now the “Blue Tags” put them within still eas ier reach. And in a sale as inclusive and far-reaching as this; where setting down details and prices is next to the im possible, character stands us in good stead—a valuable asset—character—reputation. The reputation of bona fide reducing prices that are the real prices and prices that were right in the first place. Substantial cabinet making and right prices—these attributes are dominant features of this furniture stock as a whole. And every individual piece that enters into this sale shares in it.
