makers in one way or another, by better sys-
TENS, pooling in some instances their prod

ust Furniture Sales in this and other cities
are a hodge-podge of lots picked up "as best
car" and the old stocks mixed in with them,
bearing new sale tickets, and sometimes with
old prices scratched over and a new lower
price written under.
Worse yet, there are furniture builders
who build specially for February and August
sales and by cheapening and skimping and
by poorer workmanship turn out wares that
can be priced less because the reduction is
taken out of the quality.
So that the customer, while he pays less,
hasn't a penny of advantage in these special
sales.
