Soule, Emporium
Head Back from
Furniture Show

a. N. Souie returned Saturday
morning from business trip to
Grand Rapids. Mich, and while
there purchased the stock Of furnish
ings for the new store-a much
larger assortment and better grade of
fine furniture than the Emporium has
ever before shown Mr.. Soule says
that purchasing this line of high
grade furniture is somewhat of a
speculation, but the emporium will
try 1t out and carry the goods as
long as their sale warrants it.
Speaking of the trip. Mr.. Soule
said: During the month OF January
Grand Rapids is the Mecca towards
which travel from all points of the
compass, furniture buyers who desire
to know what is good and new in fine
furniture. They know from years Of
experience that this market is the ne
Plus ultra in the furniture world
when one is seeking the very best in
furniture"
Mr.. Soule has to say in regard to
The big furniture exposition: prices
are somewhat lower than have been
quoted for two years-chamber and
dining room furniture about 20ea
less, chairs 10 to 1870 less, uphol-
| stored furniture 20 to $500 less, rugs
209o less.
What is the Grand Rapids market ]?
speaking in tangible terms, it is
the gathering together in magnifi-
cent exhibition buildings, of some
millions of dollars worth Of new and
classical designs of furniture, from
which buyers select many more mil
lions Of dollars worth of goods that
eventually find their way into Amer
lean homes.
Just what will you see?-Acres
upon acres of fine furniture in from
80 to 40 factory exhibits where the
manufacturers show lin their own
factory display rooms. in addition to
more than $50 separate exhibits in
the six large exhibition buildings
buildings erected especially for that
purpose, and used in most cases dur
ing only two months in the year.
Ihese fine buildings are in the heart
OF the business section and afford
Soo,oo0 square feet of display SPACE
ana every inch of space is taken.
And this is not all that the Grand
RAPIDS market is. The more than
2oo0 buyers who visit here during
the season will not only see, inspect
ana purchase furniture, but they
come IN touch with the greatest
manufacturers of furniture in the
country, and with the most success
tui statesmen. dealers and buyers from
all parts of the country. In the ex-
hibltion spaces and in the hotel lob
pies they will be fed up on furni-
ture inspiration that they can get in
no other market under the sun. Per-
sopal contact with the greatest minds
IN this business will be fully as valu-
able to the buyer as the close contact
afforded them to study the latest
styies-not to mention the help they
VIII get in matters of craftsmanship.
market conditions, etc. Many buyers
count this the greatest value in a
visit to Grand Rapids"
