As Gently As A
Whisper
When you pay us $185.00 for this beautiful Queen
Anne 10-piece dining suite or its equal in some other
style, you feel that you are getting better furniture for
less money and you are. Here are some of the rea
sons: You can stand over at the end of any drawer
and slide that drawer in and out by onr .handle, without
friction and as gently as a whisper, so perfect is the
case work.
The finish is as smooth and fine as that on your
automobile, and much more refined in appearance.
Every little convenience that can be thought of in
the way of sliding compartments in the buffet for silver,
grooved shelves 'in the china cabinet for plates, etc.,
has been planned and provided.
You get full value when you buy furniture here,
whether it be for dining room or anywhere. Not marked
up in order to be marked down prices; not pre-war
figures, but simply a full dolfar's worth for every
hundred cents.
