To the February
Furniture Sale

These great semi-annual events Of the Crowley
Miner Store are becoming recognized more and
more as a powerful factor in the furniture bust
ness of this city. Gradually, during the past two
years, the news of what these sales are doing has
spread among the thousands of homes, until now
February and August-are the two great Fur
niture-buying months of the year.
&45, 900 WORTH OF THE VERY
BEST STANDARD FURNITURE
brought here from the foremost furniture-makers
of the entire United States makes this by far the
largest event in the furniture history of this city
WHAT is THE AVERAGE SAVING TO BE
OBTAINED?
To bring all the offerings in this vast 'assemb-
lage under one level of discount, we should say
that were you to pick out furniture to the extent
Eof 500, at regular prices, that you would pay
about $40 for it-striking an average saving of
80 per cent.
Think what that means to the young couple who
are just about to begin housekeeping and expect
to invest $500 or more.
Saturday is good day to come and look around.

therefore, their surprise when they learned of her

millions, Sylvia had done vastly well for herselfseeng
that Duke is always Duke, especially in America.
There were also divers ladies in New York, Newport,
and elsewhere celebrated for their paatal homes their
jewels and their daughters who anxious to know
how Belew would comport himself under his disappoint

promptly set off another of his exploring expeditions,
and get himself torn to pieces by lions and tigers,
devoured by agators while Others feared greatly that
