The Low Cost of High-Grade
Furniture at the Van Sciver Store
1MONG the first things
A
impress the visitor here are the seem
ingly endless display of beautiful fur
niture and the comparatively low
wm.
prices asked. One sees so many charming
suites and pieces, artistic in design, faithfully
executed, perfect in construction and finish,
that one might naturally assume to be costly
A Skeraton Style
A faithful interpretation of the inimitable Sheraton style, with its liries of classic
severity, symmetrically tapered legs and delicate refinement of design. The' suite is well
constructed of seasoned lumber and comprises Buffet, CO in. long; China Closet, 44 in.
long; Serving Table, 36 in.; Extension Table, 48 in., extending to 6 ft.; five Chairs and one
Arm Chair, all tho chair3 having leather slip seats.
Substantial Savings on Domestic Rugs
That the Van Sciver Store has long been regarded as the logical place to .buy floor coverings is due
to the facts that we carry a more complete and varied stock, and that our prices aro well below the
average. We quote a few characteristic items of special interest to all home-lovers:
$27.00 Seamless Tapestry Brussels, 9x12 ft $19.85
$32.00 Grade Axminsters, 9x12 ft $23.50
$45.00 Grade Axminsters, 9x12 ft .$32.50
$50.00. Wilton Velvets, 9x12 ft $36.50
These prices are actually below the wholesale cost of to-day and we are offering many other
equally attractive values in the various carpet size rugs.
