OF FINER FURNITURE
Own
That Modern 18th Century Living Room
You've Admired on Our Fifth Floor
Wouldn’t you like to rub Alladin's lamp and
have that 18th Century Model Living Room
transported—exactly as is—to your own
home? No fuss and dither involved—and
you’d have the last word in interior decorat
ing. Traditional pieces against a modern
background. 18th century love seats with
modern upholstery. The graceful lines of
Chippendale chairs reflected in the highly
polished linoleum floor. Chinese lamps cou
pled with an indirect torcherie. 1,214.59 will
reproduce it for you—down to the rose bowls
on the mantle. And we’ll even order the wall
paper and a similar fireplace for you.
The Proof
of a Department Store's Pudding Is in the
Customers Who Always Come Back for More
Two gentlemen of venerable years had their
hearts set on a particular occasional chair.
It was the only one in stock—and neither
gentleman wanted to wait for a reorder.
Said Gentleman A.: “I ought to have the
chair because I’ve been dealing here for 47
years.” “Tut-tut,” replied Gentleman B.,
expanding his chest like a pouter pigeon,
“I’ve been buying at this store for 55 years.”
Do you wonder we’re proud as peacocks of
our policies and ideals—the two things that
have made our customers our friends?
IS THE LEAST PART OF OUR COMPETENT
FURNITURE SALESMEN'S DAILY JOB
Have you ever come on our Fifth Floor and
noticed a salesman chatting to a customer
comfortably seated on a sofa? It’s 10 to 1 he
was talking about her—not the sofa. He was
finding out the size of the room she wanted
wanted her new suite for. He was discovering
the sort of furnishings she already had. He
was hearing about the furniture in the ad
joining room. He was, in short, learning the
type of suite she wanted and needed. And
that’s his job—to help a customer get some
thing that will fit into her scheme of living.
Laatburgh't—7th, 8th and E Strtett—Fifth Flior,
Blonde Birds-Eye Maple Veneered Suite
It took a Semi-Annual Sale and a lot of dickering on our part to bring you these much-talked-about
suites for $80! They’re riding the high tide of p opularity these days. And for good reason. Their
creamy tones look so well against your smart pastel walls. They create the greatly sought-after
effect of sun and light. See a suite in one of our model rooms. Note the rounded, fluid lines.
Examine them for such careful workmanship as dustproof construction—center-drawer guides
and dovetailing. The square plate glass mirrors are sumptuously large. Full or twin size bed, four
drawer chest and choice of spacious vanity or dresser.

We copied the frame from a musem Chippendale

very expensive mohair frieze upholstery. Hence
the low price. All exposed parts are of solid
Phillipine Mahogany—even the base moulding.
Backs and sides are sewed. Note the antique brass
nail trim—following the Chippendale tradition.
XXXX moss filling has been used and sagless con
struction throughout—that's why it's the most
