Choose Gift Furniture Where
There Is Only Good Furniture
Choose it at Chamberlin-Johnson-Dußose Co., where
furniture is what it seems. For the furniture here is the
furniture for homes. It is chosen to fit in with the best
ideals of home life. True, pure styles made to endure; the
kind of furniture that does not have to be replaced for years
and years, not that we mean the expensive pieces that all
do not want—-but the simple chairs, rockers, tables, desks
and the like that the Christmas stocks offer are made by the
makers who have not learned to substitute semblance for
reality, who can not be persuaded that glue can take the
place Oi skillful cabinet making.
