Christmas Furniture Pieces
In the whole range of Christmas present possibilities, there is nothing that will prove more
acceptable; will be kept and used so long and often, or that will give more absolute pleasure than
well selected furniture pieces. Furniture is more sensible than any other Christmas gift. It ranks
with the most valuable presents without their usual high price. The range of selection is just as
broad and the price you pay can be made just as low or just as high as you desire.
The Christmas goods of the Rhodes-Haverty store are on exhibition and are the handsomest
and the lowest priced for the quality ever brought South. Make your selection at once before the
choice pieces are taken. The stock now is complete.
