BUY BETTER FURNITURE You are going to buy better furniture than you have in the past. Good lumber is getting scarcer and advancing in price all the time. The difference in the cost of cheap, shoddy furniture and good furniture is so slight that from now on you are going to buy better. There isn’t anything that you spend your money for that gives you as much for your money's worth as furniture and rugs. A piece of furniture * or a rug will wear for years and the whole family gets to enjoy it. Nothing will tend to kSfep the children closer to the home than good furniture. Most housewives in the past have prided themselves* on how cheap they have bought their furniture but from now on they are going to figure hdw good they can buy. W. J. WRIGHT Rensselaer, - - - - Indiana

- Automobiles - February 20, 1020. Dear Sir: The trouble with most automobile buyers Is that they do not look deep enough. Under the extravagant claims — or glossy finish —away on the Inside amid details of design, material and workmanship Is the spirit—the quality—of the car. You cannot see quality but you can see the signs of quality. The first Is endorsement while the second Is reputation. If you don’t discover quality by these signs, you will through experience. Therefore It is better to look for the signs- — because actual experience is expensive. Never has An automobile established Its leadership in such a brie, period of time as the Essex. Since. It was first announced It has won more than 500,000 friends. All who have ridden in It <pralse Its wonderful performance, admire Its beauty and talk of Its luxury and ease of riding. The demand for the Essex has far outdistanced production. Orders are now being filled In the same rotation as thcv are booked. Therefore by ordering now you assure yourself of "prompt delivery. Yours very truly, ± HJUGH KIRK.
