One thing we distinctly aim at
in this business is that every person who knows
us or who reads our ads. shall get the idea that
this is the store for QUALITY IN FUR
NITURE. We'd a good deal rather be known as the
right place for "good stuff" than as a place
where you get low prices without the quality.
It's always easy to quote prices, but it's what
the price buys that counts.
We sell the famous Lcntz Dining Tables.
We buy in car lots direct from the factory in
Michigan. About five cars a year and seventy
five in a car.
This week we arc making a special on Din
ing Room Furniture.

New Furniture Store.
Wc were somewhat surprised
recently when Victor Carlson told
us that he had left the service of
Calef Bros, where he had been em
ployed for the past two years and
that he and others were intending
to open a furniture store upon their
own account in tue near iiiiure.
We imagined that Mr. Carlson was
a fixture with Calef Bros., as he
md worked up a fine trade for
them, but when the furniture began
to arrive in car lots aud they began
to fill the bin room in the Jower
building with the finest of stock in
that line wc bcnan to realize that
something was doing.
Wc did not have time to inspect
their stock until Monday of this
week when wc went into the store
and were surprised to note the line
of furniture and house furnishings
they arc carrying. They have the
only genuine Wilton rug that has
ever been carried on sale here in
St. Johns a magnificent rug tor
$40. They have rugs all the way
down the line to tapestry rugs nt
$17.50. They carry also all kinds
of matting, linoleum, and some
thing new for St. Johns, carpet in
bolts, so that the housewife may
go to their store, purchase the nec
essary number 01 yarns, carry 11

quite a saving.
In the furniture line mere are
many surprises for the house fur
nisher. Solid oak as cheap as fir

Toona Mahogany. They are also

prices that arc right to match.

Look Out for Burglars
Last Wednesday evening F. T.
Johnson, who keeps bachelor's hall
in a tent near Muck & Durrie's
store in the French block, left his
house unlocked and came up town
to attend the republican rally.
When he returned home he found
some one had come into Ids tout,
pulled the lock off his trunk and
taken about U5. Naturally he
does not entertain a very fraternal
feeling toward the robber, and
wishes to ask the citizens to keep a
sharp lookout for the gentluniau
and give him the business end of a
short gun if caught at any more
plays like this.
