YES, those pre-war prices the prices of long ago have returned in our great January Sale. Seldom do you find bedroom Furniture advertised in which a comprehensive description is offered for a comparative basis on which you may form some idea of its real value. We give you that comparison, here: Here is a bedroom suite four large and beautiful pieces for $250, and they are worth $250, because The wood is either choice selected Walnut or finely figured iMahogany. All drawers have framed-in bottoms, dove-tail construction and under each drawer there is a dust proof partition. The finish on this furniture is as fine as on your automobile, quite as durable and of course much more refined in appearance, being dull velvet rubbed. The mirrors in the Vanity Table and the Dresser are best polished plate not the commercial glass which you find in the cheap

lines.

What is said about this suite of furniture applies to hundreds of other pieces in our line, when it comes to determining the difference between the good and the commonplace. Won't you come in, please, and let us show you?
