You Are Practicing Practical Economy When You Buy “Furniture of Merit” There are fixed requirements in our mind, measuring up to which every suite and every piece of furniture that is given dis- play in our store must conform. The factors which contribute to this standard are quality of design, quality of materials, quality of workmanship. It is a quality proposition from beginning to end—and with every purchase of “Furniture of Merit” goes our guarantee that it shall give that measure of satisfaction which the reputation of this store promises—regardless of the price quoted—for it is a policy with us to share with our customers the opportunities which our prestige in the market commands, often making untisual prices possible. eighteenth amendment and sup- g legislation are directed against commercial traffic in hmnufin{ liquors. Of course. the ultimate object is to do away with or reduce to the minimum the use of intoxicants, but this is to be accomplished not by leg- islation against the misguided man who thinks he has a right to drink and re- gards intoxicants as harmless, but against the man who desires to get gain from the weakness and appetite of others and to fatten from their mis- fortunes.
