It Is one of tho saddest sights lu our

out with good money and buy bad
furniture. It Is positively nothing
short of criminal for cheap department
and furniture stores to bo allowed to
sell tho furniture which Is being offer,
ed to-duy In our great cities. Vouug
peoplu are attracted to this rubbish bo
cause of cheap prices. Every stick of
the furniture offered at these stores
is cheaply put together, and by gluo
nnd thick coats of veneer Is inado only
to sell. It barely gets Into tho now
houso before It falls npart, and what
was thought to bo a cheap purchaso
turns out to be a very expensive Invest
ment. It Is strange that folks cannot
get It through their heads that a bed,
