Mr. Mansel Balm, buyer for Balm
Wellington Co., has returned from a
flying trip to Evansville, Ind, where
he purchased large car load of fur
niture. Evansville is one of the larg-
est furniture centers in the country,
a great many different kinds of furni-
ture factories being located there, and
the spirit of cooperation among fac
tories prevails to such an extent that
the buyer can puchase from several
of them and have the shipments all
punched in one large shipment. This
advantage, together with the fact that
Mr.. Balm knew what he was buying
from personal inspection should place
Balm Wellington Co, in position to
furnish the trade here with the right |
kind of furniture at right prices.
Rev. H. C. Johnson, one of the most
lovable Christian gentlemen in all the |,
hounds of the Memnhis conference. |
