that part of the earnings which the

country to enough to buy one post-
age stamp or two sticks of chewing-
gum. The averags American family

Purchasing furniture is like buying automobiles and furs—
you must depend upon the reliability of the firm with which you
deal. They all look very beautiful to the average untrained eye
but the value beneath the surface in wearing qualities is what you
want. You must go to a concern well known for years fbr their
dependability so as to be sure and get this real value. .We offer
you this. Everything we sell is exactly as’represen'ted to you.
