Speaking Of Sofas
You could hardly draw
more comfortable ones in
front of your fire. or place
them in any corner of your
home, than those that we are
showing up on the sixth
floor. Great, roomy sofas,
with springs embedded in
down and loose down-filled
seat cushions that have that
luxurious "give" to them
that assures the maximum of
comfort, They were made
by the best manufacturers Of
the country, so their cabi-
net construction is of the
very best, and tsir uphol-
stery is in materials and col
ors that will blend with
your furnishings, or add a
pleasing note of contrast.
Particularly attractive is a
sofa (of course Davenport
is its more stylish name)
upholstered in a soft toned
tapestry that shows a blend
ing of blue and green and
brown, with lust a wee sug-
pestion of CHEEKY red in its
DESIGN.

Is Most Replete With a Truly
Remarkable Selection of the
Highest Quality Glass

Bought early in the year before the
present labor shortage had become so
acute, it is as clear and perfect as
can be. Never before even in the
days of a plentiful supply did we
ever have a more comprehensive stock

buyer visited the best factories in
the country and in many cases bought
the entire output of certain kinds,
some pieces having been cut espe-
cially for US. Glassware intended
both for gifts and personal usage
should be purchased while the stocks
are complete for there is no possible
chance of duplicating our present
stock, manv glass factories having
been compelled to close down. Look
ing over our display you will find
large and carefully selected stocks of
Colinia Glass, Light Cut, Stem Ware,
