I SOME PERTINENT FURNITURE
«£»
Do you “shop around” for your furniture and get short-lived “bargains”?
Or do you just drop in somewhere—most anywhere—-and take what the salesman gives you?
Or do you patronize regularly a furniture store where you can get the careful, painstaking attention of those
who fully realize the importance to them of your good opinion and confidence?
Those who are interested in the permanent, substantial growth of their business?
Those who believe that the right kind of growth comes only through the right kind of service?
Those who try at leaft as hard not to sell you the wrong piece of furniture—in case they haven’t the right
piece—as they do to sell you the right pieces when they have them? 1
Those who make an honeft effort to get the right piece, when they haven’t it already in stock?
Those who in short, show a live, human interest in your side of the furniture proposition?
There is more in furniture service than you have suspected unless you have tried the personal service of
