"I wanted that Bureau »o much," said a customer.
However, I couldn't afford to give fifty dollar* ju*l now
for it, although it is well worth it. But at $38.00 it is
within reach, and I can get the one I particularly like at
the price I can afford.
How about that particular piece YOU want.
"It's just like finding $3.50 in silver sprinkled along
the street," an'd another, "to get one of these $10.00
Mattresses for $6.50.
The dollars saved on the Bed will pay for the Mat
tress," sa>d another.
"The saving on my Dining-room Suit is $32.00,
