Making Good
In Another
Direction

We demonstrated time and time again how
we were able to sell furniture much below
the prevailing price standard. People are not
surprised when We offer furniture from $500
to $500 less than similar furniture can be
bought regularly. They expect it of us.
We've set the pace and the public looks to US
to keep it up. And we will certainly do so.
Today We demonstrate how we can make good
in another direction by offering a complete
kitchen outfit of Aluminium Ware at a price
which everyone must concede is far below any
price ever quoted by any furniture store, de-
partment store or hardware store

The charts will be given as prizes
to the rural schools which enter the
Red Cross Christmas seal campaign.
