C.. through its edi- torial and news columns. has actively led the campaign against establish- ment of the proposed Washington and { Loughborough Belt Line Railway through Arlington County, Va., and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, rendering invaluable service in creat: allizing sentiment of the this project. therefore, ( resolved, that this federa tion express its appreciation of the eplendid service rendered by this newspaper in its opposition to the sald belt lne railroad and that the secretary of the federation be in- structed to transmit a copy of this resolution to said newspaper.

Col. 2619 | Extra Dry and Pale For VER since we established this busi- ness we have held fast to the per- sonal idea of service—of which selling is the result, and not the main ob- ject. There are very good reasons why we can render superior service—and they have to do with a discrimination in our sources of supply. Price isn't the determining factor —but quality is—and it’s upon quality that reputation rests and confidence 1s cre~ ated—and continued. When price is the foremost consideration, value suffers. We'd rather be known as the store of dependable quality—than to be notorious for sensa- tionally low prices—for value, or the lack of it, is remembered long after the price is forgotten. High grade doesn't mean high priced. It means that we bar admittance to any fur- niture that we cannot assume the full re- sponsibility for your satisfaction. Then enters our policy of sharing factory priv- ileges and prestige with our patrons—as reflected in our markings—as low as the lowest—but for safe and sound quality.
