February Sale of Furniture For many years we -have been -providing Great Under-priced Furniture Sales each February and August. This year we will begin our sale Saturday, January 29th, and will say that never before have we produced a finer collection of Furniture than we have for the present February Sale. We have never found it necessary to resort to cheaply made furniture to meet competition; we feel that when high-class furniture cannot be secured at sufficiently low prices to make it interesting these sales shall be abandoned. Our showing this year and our prices, too, will disappoint none and will surprise many. g ‘2 Those who have new homes to furnish during the coming spring will be able to save hundreds of dollars by taking advantage of the February opportunities, and while purchases must be made within a month, delivery of the goods will be made later on at your cot;veniem:e.

Through tiny mirrors at the backs of the 100,000 “jewels,” sunlight and _searchlight beams were reflected with prismatic scintillations that aroused the esctaic admiration of millions of beholders. Now that the exposition is closed and the Tower of Jewels is no more, the “Jewels” have . been distributed throughout the country as souvenirs. Eu;g bears a little brass medal attest- ing its genuineness. THE L. A.
