Which Shall It Be?
It is pretty hard to make a choice sometimes in Washing
ton's unusual furniture store when customers come in and
want to select a bedroom set, a suite of furniture for the dining
room or perhaps a davenport for the living room. We say
this because, frankly, our stock is so large that sometimes
it is difficult to reach a decision.
The members of this concern have made the subject of
proper household furniture an earnest and constant study for
many years. If you were looking at two styles of dressers or
two beds almost alike and were puzzled as to the choice to
make, as are the parties in this picture, we could help you
out, bccausc we would know, after talking with you and
getting a description of your home, what would suit best in
the surroundings you had described.
Won't you pay us a visit, please, and spend a little time
going over the hundreds of pieces of thoroughbred furniture
that this store is showing? You are always welcome here.
Come!

vantages gained by the surrender to
Japan of German rights, and Insist
upon exclusive Japanese settlement
at Tsingtao
"The American policy in Siberia
has been a complete failure Japan
is the one intelligent force in the
far east. The I'nited States must
take a hand in the far cast problems
'China's antipathy to Japan is of
a broader scope than ;< student agri
tation. but has not reached the point
of unified government opposition."
