FLAGSTAFF FURNITURE co.
OPERATES TWO STORES

Originally started in 1917, Flag
staff Furniture company under the
proprietorship of Sullivan & Taylor
was sold in February, 1922, to Ralph
Davis, who has been owner and oper-
ator of it since.
Ralph has II years in Flagstaff to
his credit, having come here back in
April, 1910, starting to work with Gus
Pearson at the Fort Valley forest ex-
pertinent station, where he worked for
a season and then went to the Flag
staff Lumker company as tallyman.
In 1917 after the United States en-
tered the World war, Mr.. Davis en-
listed in the air service and was sent
overseas in 1918 AS the air division
OF the army was the first to be de-
modified Ralph claims the distinction
Of being the first soldier to arrive
back in Flagstaff. His first expert
ence with the selling Of furniture and
household furnishings was when he
was employed by Sullivan & Taylor
shortly after his discharge from serv
ice. After three years business he
took over the store.
Flagstaff Furniture company also
has a separate secondhand furniture
store. This makes it possible TO give
better service to buyers who often
have old household furnishings to
trade in on new. AS one of two fur
niture stores in this city, the Flag
staff Furniture company does a large
volume Of business, large part Of
it being on the installment basis,
making it possible for every home to
have furnishings which otherwise
would not be available.
The main floor of the Flagstaff
Furniture company contains 1000
square feet of space devoted to the
showing of the latest designs in period
and modern styles in furniture.
