An ounce of fact is worth a ton of argument. We don't
waste much space IN TALKING about the values in our Furniture
Sale. We need it all to SHOW them, or even a hundredth part

We wish we could show more. There are at least a hundred

as honest examples, representing the values you will find in all
of furniture, in all grades, from the very lowest priced that
worth having at all up to the highest-priced that the average
