Quality is the measure of usefulness of an article in wear and service and look. Economy lies not in spending the least
amount of money, nor in spending the most with the idea that high prices mean high quality, but in spending the amount one can
best afford and receiving in return the best quality obtainable for the price—that’s the Bailis-Edelblut way.
We began with the conviction that honest workmanship with close attention to details was the best policy to pursue and
therefore
We Established This Furniture Business on Quality
It prospered in the patronage of those who knew the Bailie Edelblut economy. Today our uspartments for each separate
room in the home are distinguished by the same Bailie Edelblut service, the same Bailis Edelblut quality and the same Bailie-Edel
blut economy which ha-3 always prevailed—a policy that has kept the store new, vigorous, young. From small beginnings, out of the
BaNie Edelblut values, we have built a full grown trade.
Economy in quality through all the ages that’s the Bailie Edelblut foundation on which the business structure was budd
ed and on which it stands firmly today.
