This establishment is one ol the firms that is not satisfied with a stock of a few chairs, tables and bedroom sets. When they set out to sell furni- ' ture to the people of this part of the state they determined to keep in stock just Qbout everything that there is in the furniture line. Anyone who has ever purchased from them or even been in their store will have to acknowlede that they have succeeded. We venture that there are few stores in the much larger cities that have a more complete stock of furniture. And when we say furniture we do not mean merely tables, chairs, bookcases and beds. We mean library tables, davenports, full suites for every room, as well as individual pieces. When it comes to quality we will wager that their stock will compare favorably with the best in the nation.
