Summer Furniture Is Added to the August Co-operative Sale Comfortable summer chairs of wicker, hickory, fumed oak, natural oak, ivory reed and Chinese grass. Many have cretonne upholstery. All are in good plain styles, shaped for coolness and real ease. You know how often the porch chair lacks that indefinable something which gives to your body and makes it entirely restful. Sit in these chairs, however, and you will find they are built by expert comfort givers. They are chairs which will be just as valuable next year as this, but we have only one or two of a kind and these price reductions will hurry them out, making room for other new things.

Why a Certain Store Buyer Could Get Only $148 Worth of Furniture When He Wanted a Carload Every summer and midwinter leading American manu facturers hold a furniture exposition at Grand Rapids. Buyers from every part of the United States go there, elect from samples shown and order in the quantities they can use. This year the exhibition opened Monday, June 23. Between 300 and 400 makers showed their samples. More than 2200 retail buyers (a record number) attended. Everybody came at once, instead of leisurely, as usual. Factory show rooms were crowded. Buyers waited on themselves. So great was the rush of orders that one factory after another closed its doors. In two or three days many big plants were sold up. They could take no more orders for deliveries within six months. To protect their regular customers, factories used a card index system. They sold only to stores that had dealt with them in 1918, and they refused to take orders for larger amounts than in 1918. For instance, one buyer said, "I will take a car load of this and " "Sorry, sir," interrupted the factory salesman, who had looked up his rating with the company, "you can have only $148 worth, that being the amount you purchased from us last year." The Grand Rapids Furniture Exposition usually lasts a month. This year it closed within eight days. There was no more furniture to sell. Why Does Everyone Want Furniture? You probably know yourself. You know you have been saving until the war was over. Until the boys came home. Many stores all over the country saved, too. Kept their stocks low. Waited for prices to go down. Prices did not go down because materials were high and labor scarce, and these conditions are expected to continue. ' So now the war over everybody wants furniture at once and somebody will have to wait. The Meier & Frank Company succeeded in placing orders for even finer furniture than we have ever had. It tvill be a great pleasure to show the new suites and pieces as soon as they arrive. In the meantime there is plenty of good furniture here on our floor and in our warehouses, many pieces of which :an be bought most advantageously during the August Sale.
