W"e are as sure of that as we were ever sure of anything. Our present problem is to convince all
those who may need Furniture of this fact.
Ten minutes spent in eur store will do more convincing than a page of newspaper talk.
Glad to have the ladies drop in any time they are down town.
Always something new to show them. If it isn't new arrivals in Bedsteads, it's Dining Room

It may be this that or the other that we wish particularly to have the ladies look at but it'a
ALWAYS SOMETHING. Impossible to bother us.
