AO : ' '" 389 Alder Street, Opposite Old'Wortman & King. "f HEAP' furniture never loses its price mark. Every time you buy a "cheap" piece of furniture you buy dissappointment. It is a question whether there is any economy in putting money into "cheap" furniture, even if it is to be used but temporarily. We do not want disappointed customers. We want them satisfied. We offer many pieces of low priced furniture, but none of it is "cheap" in ' quality. The great reputation of the Berkey & Gay Furniture Company as makers of mar velous period styles has led some people to think their product is high priced, or costly. As we sell their pieces exclusively here we assure you that you will find in the Berkey & Gay lines -the furniture you want at a reasonable price. And whatever you buy with their shop-mark upon it or in it, is real. Their guarantee and ours goes with every piece, whether it is a Flanders stool at $2.50 or $250 dining room piece. You can never be dissatisfied or disappointed---this furniture truly will be for Your Child ren's Heirlooms. . - J. G. Mack & Co. Fifth and Stark Streets GIV THAT BOY FIVE CENTS Then watch him go.
