Although a member of a chain, the store is peculiar!? an integral part of the life of Indianapolis, in as much as as all the personnel are Indianapolis people and are encouraged to engage in all civic activities, Foster said.

SIX ‘AIMS’ WIN FOR WRITE CO, i Courtesy and Service Are Cardinal Principles. Six simple four-word aims have been responsible for the remarkable success of the White Furniture Company, 243-249 West Washington owned by Jake Wolf and Tom Quinn. These “aims” became the cardinal principle of the partners when the 30-year-o!d company came under their management eight years ago. The code: To treat you courteously; to satisfy your demands; to give you service; to merit your confidence; to save your money; and to make home happy. The partners are experienced merchandising men, who have concentrated on giving the best of service to every customer. Quinn has been in the furniture business for fifteen years; Wolff in the retail trade for twenty-four years. The store originally consisted of three stories and a basement, but the firm has made two additions. The slogan of the company always has been “The Home of Real Furniture Values.” HE MUST DRINK TEA, TOO Fast Tortoise Takes London's Mayfair by Storm.
