1. A reduction in the cost of Kentucky Burley

tobacco business but he is right about
consolidation.)

No house furnishings deserve more of
your thoughtful attention than the bed In
which you rest after each day's crowded
hours of work And the dressers and chif
foniers— also outstanding features of the
bed room — present many opportunities for
showing the good taste of the home owner.
For the kind you wish come here. Our line Is
Rich in Style
We have a large assortment of all bed
room furniture in the modern styles and
finishes There is no lack of attention either
to the details so often neglected that make
for comfort and convenience. Prices, as
usual, make these offerings unusual in value.
