During all these years we have had to i amend our routine to meet the changing times. But not for a single instant have we swerved from the purpose which inspired us in establishing this store; nor changed in j any respect the policy upon which we have operated all these years. We believed that the public would appre ciate candor and we are sure it does. We are candid about our merchandise. The rules and recommendations adopted nowadays for the furniture trade have been practiced here from the first. We believed the public would appreciate the policy of always selling at the lowest price—rather than on spasmodic bargain occasions. j| Assuredly it does —and we have fol lowed this policy continuously. We don t have "sales”; we don t buy "bargain Fur niture. But we do pick and choose our stock critically cautiously from the most reputable makers in America—and sell it at the lowest possible prices. jjl That's the biggest "bargain” anyone can offer —because it comprehends thoroughly trustworthy values —the utmost for the money. We believed the public would appreciate the type of credit we planned—and that we 'f have always extended. Popular adoption by all lines of business has approved our judgment. Straight-out charge accounts — The chairs ii- with no "strings” attached, no penalties lustrated are both • 1 j decorative and ImpOSCQ. serviceable.
