This is the identical Suite that was such an outstn.nding leader in our recent Anniversary Sale and to be able to fill orders which exceeded the supply on hand we induced the makers to stretch a point and give us one more carload. Which, however, must positively be the last, for the wholesale price of this Suite has been advanced 20%—so you can see what a bargain it is at $37. The fact that we positively cannot get any more of them at the price will suggest to you the importance of being here bright and early tomorrow, Saturday morning, for if the stock on hand is exhausted we cannot accept orders for future deliveries. It is a 3-piece Suite in genuine solid maple; of an attractive design, with the peg top and rounded edge effect, a feature of the antique period. The finish throughout is most unusual, with real oak interiors. Mirrors are adjustable and not hanging wall mirrors. The bed has panels head and foot.
