LOGICAL

The existing conditions of
this sale are perfectly reason
able. The statements might
seem absurd to the casual
reader. The following are
among the reasons why a0c
and not the sellers command
the prices
First Large manufacturers
are not infallible-thcy make
mistakes, get too many goods.
BY placing all surplus with
us theyconcentrate their losses
at q single point, do not de
moralize their general trade
and make a profit on all other
sales. They lose heavily on
sales to us to make generously
from everybody else.
Scr0Rd. it pays to run at a
loss during a dull time, that
machinery may be employed
and an organization of hands
kept intact. This cause is pro-
life in our Furniture Bargains.
IhlrG. Some Furniture COM
Panies are heavily bonded.
When short Of cash to meet
interest it is better to fnancier
on merchandise than to bor-
row money. Thus come manv
Of our cheap lots.
F0m~lh. To be represented
in our stock gives national
prestige to Furniture manu-
tacturers. To maintain con-
tlnulty of business throughout
the year some of the best man
utacturers are glad to sacrifice
on Furniture for the Trade
