The next is comfort. While people may live hap) gn!y and in good health with furni- ture that is only moderately comfortable, the addition of newer and more comfortable pieces makes home a more desirable place. A home-keeper not only da- sires the commendation of her friends, but she wants her own family to think that home is the best place in the world. Adding a new piece here and there has the attrac- tion of novelty. Sometimes the refurnishing of a single room adds luster to the en tire home. l And eo furniture chould be replaced not upon the time that it has been in use, but in its capability of making home a better place to live. Therefore, most any time is the time to replace furniture. C. C. FULLER & CO. 40-56 Ford Street | Hartford, Conn, ‘ —_— ) 1$5,000 WATER DAMAGE SALE!
