find no such difficulty.
Everything made in
wicker furniture that's
worth considering is repre-
sented; pieces in reed, will
low and fibre; upholstered
and unupholstered; coming
in natural finish, stained
finish, and rich, glossy
enameled finish, in all fash
ionable colors-and if you
want an questionable one
you can get it, for the ad-
mirable feature of this
adaptable kind of furniture
IS that we can stain, finish
and upholster it for you to
blend with any decorative
scheme in your house or in
your head.
DRICES are lower than

even here, after Febru-
ary-for such goods. They
start at SO for a comfort

and end with S2450 for a

and of a type new this
year, but of a type that
ought to have been pro-
duced long ago.
Goodness knows it was
needed.
The suit in question con-
sists of 6 pieces, not count

port pillows, covered in the
same handsome, durable
lowered linen with which
the backs and seats of the
pieces are covered.
1t is made of high-grade
willow in rich ivory finish,
and is very beautiful to

superiority lies in its

W Els, the public are en-

- Sale in all its fea-
lures:
Enjoying it as a spectacle
if they have just come to
look around:
Enjoying it as an oppor-
tunity, if they have need of
new furniture.
1t is by coming here, re-
naming at least few min
utes, and noting how rapid
" within the few minutes
the sold" tags accumulate
on any group of furniture
under observation, that an
impressive realization is
gained of the number of
homes that need new fur
niture.
In a single day, four en-
tire window displays of fur
niture were bought. II was
all very beautiful furniture,

the windows haven't re-

other beautiful furniture
