LGRS The man who rushes blindly into lindfold Buying the first yard he comes to when he buys lumber will never get round shouldered carrying the money he saves by such tactics. Those who reason that all lumber is alike because it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There's as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a consideration in buying. long time, quality should be the first ‘Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn't leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.

Arnold is in charge of this department and she has as able assisiants, Mrs. J. C. Parker and Miss Leila Stanton. There are pillows, quilts, doilies, piano covers, fancy aprons and pictures.
