the usual grade of work, the
grade on which the bulk of the
trade is carried on. And since
that time we've raised our stand
ard just as fast as we could
get the makers up.
We take as much pains with
plain work as with any. We
want it exactly right. We are
quite content to lose the trade
that comes of astonishing
people with styles that need to
be looked at across the street.
The bulk of our stock is of

We can't for the life of us
think of a single advantage in
selling nothing but furniture.
On the other hand the adj
vantage of selling everything
with it is clear in a great many
ways.
" First, catch your hare
says the famous recipe.
The first of all advantages is
to have the stuff to sell. The
man who makes a business of
nothing but furniture can't get
away from home has never
been to Grand Rapids in his
life; spends his days and half
his nights in the midst of the
cares and worries of business;
buys from drummers and pho
tographs. Whatcan you expect

Wescatter our worrying over
fifty businesses stay at home,
do all the worrying; have a
man who knows a hundred
times as much as we about fur
niture he don't worry a bit !;
he runs all over the country

that he doesn't getthefrst ink

That's the way to sell furniture

Look through our acres of
samples and see if it isn't true
and more than true. We have
meant for a long time to get
to the bottom of the furniture
business. Guess we have done
it.

Behrs became very abusive. They went
out but returned soon after and wanted to
play pool. Mrs. Behrs told them they
could not, and attempted to take the cues
from them. Behrs started in to his office

him, and it went off. He seemed much
agitated at what he had done. Behrs has

Nelson's Work.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Congressman
Nelson of the bloody Fifth district goes
home with one distinction which few men,
bers enjoy. His district has bigger slice
of appropriation than any other inland dis
trict in the West. Mr.. Nelson secured
$780, 900 for various improvements in
Northern Minnesota, and if the president
had not vetoed the Duluth public building
bill the amount would have been larger by
500, 900. Duluth ought forever to keep
silence in shame at the recent attack on
Nelson. Of the $780, 600 which he got
from this congress for Northern Minnesota,
$166, 500 was for that city alone. Besides
these appropriations Mr.. Nelson secured
the passage of the Brainerd and Little
Falls dam bills, secured a steamboat in
spector for Duluth and considerable num-
Der of private pension bills. Among these
appropriations were those for the fish
hatchery at Duluth and the lighthouse at
Two Harbors. There was no little disgust
here at the presidents veto of the Duluth
building bill.
