These are exceptional cases, as ev-
ery one knows who has ever attempt
ed to dispose of an accumulation OF
used furniture. The second hand fur
niture now on sale is in better condi-
ton than formerly. This is partially
because so many people live in apart
ments and are compelled to change
their furniture to correspond with
limited quarters. A change of apart
ments frequently involves discarding
pieces which are perfectly good. Many
city dealers furnish apartments and
charge rent which may also be taken
as part payment if tenant finally de-
cides to purchase the furniture. When
the tenant does not buy the furniture
it is frequently returned to the store
after a few months usage as good as
new but it is second hand and a first
class dealer will only sell it as such.
A Washington firm holds annual auc-
ton sales which are attended by deal
ers from nearby towns and furniture
which has been slightly used in apart
ments is sold at a great reduction.
They sell it as new furniture to their
customers and realize big profit.

and antique furniture is not readily
recognized. A woman who has bought
large quantities of both says, 'The
only difference between second hand
furniture and antique is in the price.
If you get it cheap, it is second hand.
If you pay a good price for it the man
calls it antique" This does not follow
of course. The connoisseur places any
article over fifty years old as an an
tique.
Good modern furniture which has
been used and yet remains in good
condition is always in demand, al
though sometimes the buyer and seller
do not come together easily. The sec
ond hand dealer takes large risks in
buying. He may have the article on
his hands for a long time. AS a rule
the unusual piece is undesirable.
Plain, substantial furniture, suitable
for every day use, will bring higher
price to the dealer and be less likely
to remain on his hands long time
than the highly ornate article which
may have cost five times as much.
Many persons who would have scorned
to use second hand furniture ten years
ago will now visit the second hand
shops before going to the stores where
new goods are sold when an additional
piece is needed in the home.
One reason for this is the increased
price for new furniture. This amounts
to from so to 100 per cent within the
past ten years and is due to the de-
crease in the lumber resources of the
country, the increased cost of labor
and several other reasons. A woman
in breaking up her home few weeks
ago decided to sell her furniture. She
visited number of second hand shops
and put price upon her furniture &C
cording to the shops. Among her eff
fects was an article purchased nearly
ten years ago for $3.50. She found

A Methodist minister who married
about twelve years ago, received suf-
ficient good, modern furniture from
his family and friends to completely
furnish his home. He found it expen-
sive to move and an incumbrance in
many ways, because shis parsonages
were furnished. He and his wife de-
cided to sell and to put the money in
the bank until they could have per
nanent home. After years Of usage
the value Of some of the pieces hao
80 greatly increased that he was able
to SELL all the furniture for little
more than the original cost OF the
whole.

not half so prosperous as we might

tute was a clarion call for the coun-
try to "wake up to a realization of

carved edges to form a seat. The old

of its former associations. He has re-

Haskin Letters
Second Hand Furniture
(By Frederic J. Haskins)


The annual auction of second hand
furniture in the national capitol IN
Washington is to be conspicuous by
its absence during the present admins
tration. Consequently the number OF
persons who depend upon renewing
their house furnishings from those
which have seen slight service in the
room utilized by public officials
are doomed to disappointment. The
annual average of second hand furni-
ture sold from the capitol building
and its dependencies in the past has
represented at least $4,000 value.
The money received for it has seldom
reached $500. Graft in disposition
of government furniture has been
charged for years. The present ad-
ministration aims to reform this con-
dition. Each year almost entirely new
furnishings have been allowed for
many of the rooms. A constituent
visiting the capitol would note the fine
furniture and carpets. If he desired
furnishings for his home he might
obtain condemnation for articles which
appealed to his taste and he would
my them for mere song.
Hundreds of homes have secured
their best furnishings from the second
and sales of government supplies.
The custom has not been confined to
the capitol city either. Private indi-
v.duals and dealers have considered IL
cutie worth while to come TO Washing
On to purchase such furniture. The
resent Democratic thrift has estab-
he'd a first-class repair shop in the
asement Of the capitol. Here skilled
binet makers repair pieces Of furni-
are in order that they may see a sec

est aside for a nominal price.

The apostles of discomfort and un-

The disposition to look upon big and
successful enterprises or the possess
