have seen some of the finest furni- ture displays in this country, having lived in New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Chicago and Cincinnati, and can say that during the time I have been in Birmingham I have seen furniture exhibited at your place which equals any display seen in the above cities; in fact, have never seen more artistic furniture than have seen in your win dows.

think it reasonable to say that any one attending the August Furniture Sales will be repaid beyond their widest expectations. In fact, if such lovely furniture at the lowest prices fails to please them, I hardly think they would be satisfied in the New Jerusalem playing on harp with a thousand strings. MISS A. L. L.

A FARE IN THE WHEAT.

Who ever heard of real positive bar gains in perfectly modern, up-to-date furniture? Such beautiful, costly arti- cles, for instance, as crowd the inn mense third floor of the big Loveman, Joseph & Loeb building. If August really brings this to pass, it will in- deed be notable day for Birmingham.
