They show you the correct colors to use, the proper grouping of FURNITURE, the newest styles and how to harmonize various PERIODS. Such ads have an additional value for the SHOPPER, if she will avail themselves of it and that is the safety factor. | In buying such nationally advertised articles for the HOME as ARMSTRONG’S LINOLEUM and QUAKER RUGS, SPRING AIR MAT- TRESSES, FIRTH and BIGLOW RUGS, SIMMONS STUDIO COUCHES, FASHION FLOW BEDROOM FURNITURE, KARPEN CHAIRS, HEY- WOOD “OLD COLONY MAPLE” TABLES and CHAIRS or IMPERIAL TABLES, the buyer has a TRIPLE guarantee of Quality, Style and Craftsmanship. In the FIRST place the manufacturer MUST have a GOOD article or he could not afford to advertise NATIONALLY and must maintain the quality. SECONDLY, such magazines would not accept the ads unless the firm were reputable and responsible. Its advertising MUST be truthful. In the THIRD PLACE YOUR LOCAL MERCHANT, in displaying such articles shows a desire to bring to your door the BEST the MAR- KET affords. He must, necessarily, have a reputation for HONESTY and ABILITY or such firms as ARMSTRONG, KARPEN and SIMMONS would not allow him to display their:goods. The merchant who tells you he does not sell NATIONALLY AD- VERTISED ARTICLES because he can sell other JUST AS GOOD arti- cles for LESS MONEY, NEGLECTS to tell you the whole story.
