when our stock is full and complete for your selection.
Above, for example, we show one
of the beautiful new
Simmons Steel Beds as advertised in the Ladies' Home Journal
and Saturday Evening Post. Come in and let us show you the
full line.
They are the famous light weight, electrically welded steel
about which you have been reading. There is not a nut or a
bolt in the whole bed to rattle loose. And the finishes are
beautiful.
The quality of our merchandise is the best that human skill
and ingenuity can produce; our enormous buying power lowers
the price to the point where they cannet fail to interest even
the most experienced buyers. Let us prove to you that we can
and do sell you the greatest home furnishing values at prices
no other concern can equal.
