Buy Your Furniture Today This is just a friendly word of warning to those young people who are going to start* (housekeeping in the next few weeks. You have been looking around and halve been waiting in hope that furiffture will get chea/per. In view of the condition >s it exists today those who buy in the next week are going to be the lucky ones. Country-Wide Shortage off , Furniture It is almost impossible to get Shipment on furniture, especially in bedroom - and dintag-roonj. As a dealer I was satisfied that by the beginning of January, 1920, we would be able to get shipment on anything that we would need, but the conditions are worse than they were a year ago. Higher Prices Price will have to go up. Don’t Wait Until Spring Manufacturers are convinced that they will 'be unable to make prompt shipment for months to come. The demand for furniture the country over is un'hearij of. It seems only fair in view of to give you the facts as they are. There isn’t going to be nearly enough furniture to go around. _ ■ This simply means one thing, if you are starting housekeeping you should buy now, DON’T WAIT. NOW REMEMBER, our stock was bought months ago is priced today cjn last summer’s prices. \ We feel we could advance with today’s prices and make more imioney but we are looking ahead and want your business now and next year and the year following. If you could appreciate the stock we have today in furniture and rugs you surely would not hesitate to come and buy today. This store is the best in the whole state considering the size of our town. You would have to go to a city of 25,000 before you could compare with the selection you would get and our prices are as far belo w the larger that there is no comparison. W. J. WRIGHT Rensselaer, Indiana
