Marry the girl and we will furnish the home"
Is the challange thrown out by P. V. Gottschalk,
furniture dealer and conscientiously be said
that there is not furniture store in Western Kansas
better stocked and equipped to fulfil that challenge.
This large store, was established in Hays in
April 1915 when Mr.. Gottschalk acquired the in
terests of J. F. Jordan and moved to the present
ton from the former stand in the Citizens Bank
building. From the time he first took charge Mr..
Gotschalk by care, management and satisfaction to
all patrons has built up enviable reputation for
his institution and today there is not store in West
ern Kansas carrying larger stock, more divers-
fed than this one
Nationally known merchandise makes up the
bulk of the stock, such Sellers Kitchen Cabinets
Lenard Refrigerators, Hoover Suction Swepeers
Smith & Davis Beds, Simmons Beds, Globe-Warn-
ecke Book Cases. with Standard Rugs and Linoleums
of all kinds Seeley and Schick Mattresses, Free
Sewing Machines we'll the Singer, and this store
has the exclusive agency for the Pathe Photograph
with complete line of Pathe Records.
In furniture the rarest of woods can be secured
for the more prententious homes while substantial
standard made furniture in suites or pieces can be
secured for the ordinary home. The extensive buy
ing connection established by Mr. Gottschalk enables
him to secure any special pieces that may be desired
short notice and there is possible excuse for
Ellis county people ordering furniture outside of the
City of Hays. Bedroom suites in walnut, maple and
the other popular woods, overstutfed parlor sets,
dining sets and individual pieces in all the period
designs be secured if not already found in the
large stock carried.
Coupled with the extensive line of furniture is
also extensive stock of wall papers in the latest
designs and manufacture. There is wall paper for
every room in every home to be found in this stock
with hundreds of patterns to choose from. This de-
of quality that prevaes throughout the entire store
Curtains, curtain rods and other requisites
necessary to complete home furnishing are also
part of this extensive stock, and to make trip of in
specton through the store the visitor will readily
that the writer did not overdraw in the least when he
stated, in this store will be found everything
sary to furnish the home to the nationally
known lines of Lloyd and Wakefield baby buggies.
Mr. Gottschalk takes a vital interest in the
operation of his store from the standpoint of not only
making it a financial success but from the standpoint
of making it credit to the city and county, and al
ready he has been the medium of drawing much
trade to Hays because of the extensive stock always
carried on hand in high quality, and the excellent
service always rendered to every patron.
The building which houses this furniture store
is of the most substantial in the city with large
plate glass front presenting modern appearance.
Large floor display space is maintained which is al
ways kept in excellent condition enabling the pros
pective purchaser to view the lines carried in their
proper environment. In fact this is a store which
would be credit to a city several times the size of
Hays, and which is destined to grow and adj
in the future with rapidty than in the
past.
