ed with the character and sources
Of the compliments recently paid
our store.
Repeatedly has it been said by
visitors unquestionably qualified
to express themselves upon the
subject, THAT NO other large
collection of furniture in this
section is of such uniform merit,
or as widely representative of the
really best sources, or offers
more generous measures of
VALUE at the prices asked.
An official tour of inspection
and investigation, just completed
through the principal stores and
shops of the larger eastern cities,
gives US the best Of reasons for
believing that these comments
have been sincere and well found
ed. Careful comparisons make
US more proud than ever of our
store, and confirm our belief that
nowhere can furniture and Access
series be purchased to better adj
vantage than here.
Our buyer has just returned
from his Eastern trip, where he
bought the largest stock we have
ever had. These goods will be
coming in from day to day, so
our store will be full of bright
new goods. We most cordially
invite you to write US about your
HOME wants and to look through
our various exhibits, when you
are in Monroe, whether or not
you may desire to buy.
