NOTICE TO FURNITURE BUYERS

A little over a year ago—like a bolt out of the blue—came a demand for furniture—so big, so strong, so intense that it shook the town, stirred up the pessimists, threw the industry into one big fine panic, and there has been rioting for deliveries of furniture ever since. i Once again we sound the danger alarm—of passing up furniture—at present prices, in anticipation of a drop. Once again, we emphasize the necessity of placing orders now —if you are to have a snowball’s ehan ce of getting furniture at present prices. There is nothing—absolutely nothing—to justifiy the theory of a drop in prices. There is nothing to justify the theory of business slowing up. To the contrary—the very elements—which caused this avalanche of business have been strengthened—very much strengthened^—during the year and all factories have either, advanced prices again since May Ist, or are revising their price lists this very minute. Bradstreet reports that out of 76 commodities 25 advanced last week. The crop situation looks fairly good. The exchange situation is improved to a marked degree. The tremendous building program * is | starting to sizzle. Schwab says the steel industry will run 100 percent । during 1920. . The three decisions recently handed down by the supreme court are most constructive and will have an immediate effect upon industry, and above all there are no tramps on the break-beams —as every man is employed—and will be for many months to come. I We cannot urge you too strongly ( to place your orders for furniture 1 now. We tell you frankly—in big . capital letter—that prices will advance WORLAND BROS. !
