we had hundreds of opportunities, which we always refuse, to
buy furniture of unknown or untred lines.

in stock to be offered the first day are $l57, 100 which denotes
an average reduction on individual pieces of IS per cent. Some

Of the fire-we mean the "conf1agration"
through this instant cooperation by the
furniture manufacturers of the country,
has come the best February Furniture
Sale we have ever been privileged to offer.
One manufacturer Of a large and we'll
known make of furniture came at once to
New York to say that we could have his
entire sample line at a substantial reduc-
ton from his regular price; and he was
prepared to ship the furniture at once,
working night and day to make duplicates
for his own selling.
Another manufacturer offered US "the
run" Of his entire line Of goods, just
manufactured for this seasons business,
at a large reduction from his regular price.
Many others came orwad with similar
offers, so we believe we have selected an
even better lot Of merchandise than we
had before the fi-the "confagration"
and that we shall offer the best stock of
February Furniture in our history.
