Repairing • Renovizing • Modernizing Homes
In the Spirit of ’49
After completing a rather complex
job for Mr. C. J. C., he writes us
appreciatingly.
Quote: MI can find nothing hut work

were the sincere efforts of your men to
please us. My congratulations—that the
spirit of Eberly still lives.” End quote.

was born (1849) does still live.

| It is an economic fact that retail prices rise |
I during war times. And this is true whether such | *
| war involves us or others. J
| Certain raw materials that go into the making §
| of some of our Nation’s merchandise do, of jj
!| necessity, come from other countries, and such
materials are higher now. |
| WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL BE NEC- j
I ESSARY FOR US TO RAISE PRICES ON |
| LIFETIME FURNITURE GENERALLY J
| IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. We have j
| “covered” at favorable prices on a considerable
amount of Lifetime Furniture for practically
f every American furnishing problem. Prices may
| have to be adjusted from time to time but only
j to the extend that it is absolutely necessary.
| While we assure you that our present stocks are
unusually large and will be offered you on the
basis of the low prices we paid, the daily arrival
of announcements from mills and manufactories
that their prices have advanced suggests that
thrifty people would like to know of this con
I dition.
Far be it from Mayer & Co. to suggest that any
one buy more than they actually need. We much
prefer a steady, normal business. But we do be
lieve it smart to look now to your furniture needs.
