A NATIONAL
FURNITURE STORE

There are many goods that we
are compelled to import, but all our
Furniture is made in this country.
The Furniture makers locate in the
several States near the sources Of
wood supply and water transporta-
ton, and where skilled labor abounds.
We closely watch the cabinet-work-
ers month by month and draw their
best things to US, especially for our
February and August sales.
1t is worth considering that things
in the Furniture trade are now run
ming towards a huge Trust, and that
the Trusts in glass have already put
up prices of glass, tending to ad-
vance the price of Furniture.
Certain woods are growing scarcer
and will make some classes of Fur
niture dearer sooner or later.
Yet Furniture prices here are not
only as low as ever, but on thous-
ands of pieces are a full third, in
some cases a full half, below the
usual.
So important, in the light of pres
ent strong conditions, is this sale
that business is flowing in as never
before in any February, and on
Wednesday. the opening day. we
made more transactions than had
ever been made here in Furniture in
one day. This is not boastful-it
is important, if it helps to fairly pre-
sent the case. For Furniture users
everywhere have an interest in such
an occasion.
Based on the regular values, cur
