Aft This is the policy which has established the Ries Co. as South Bend's Foremost Home Furnishing Store. ü Once more we present proof of our right to that position. q With prices steadily ad vancing and nothing in sight to indicate a halt, the Ries Co. three months ago aded a mammoth new warehouse to its storage facilities. We filled it with Furniture, Rugs, Carpets, Linoleums and Bedding, purchased through the Rles 65 Store Buying Syndicate at the lowest existing prices. The move was a wise one Since that time costs have not only advanced fifteen to fifty percent, but are still advancing and the value of this merchandise has increased accordingly. It is not the inteition of the Ries Co. to take advantage of that fact OUR warehouses are YOUR warehouses. OURS the service, YOURS the benefit. We are placing these goods on sale at prices based not upon their greater present value, but upon their lower cost to us. q In this Bed, Spring and Mattress outfit we present an example.
