On top of these conditions we purchased the $50,000.00 stock of the Grand Rapids agency. While the greater portion of this Grand Rapids stock was disposed of during our recent sale, our regular stock was being held back, and now we find our selves too heavily stocked in all lines for this season But in this sale we intend to remedy these conditions b: our liberal system of cutting prices on practically all lines of merchandise. If you have an entire home to furnish we can save you money on everything you need. If you only purchase an odd piece or two your saving will be propor tionately great. The Balance of the Grand Rapids Stock Must Go During This Sa'e—HALF PRICE You will still find many striking values in the Grand Rapids stock marked at half price. The principal items in this half-price stock are matched dining room suites, about fifteen styles in mahogany and golden and fumed oak—all styles of iron beds—dressers and chiffoniers in oak, maple and white enamel—chairs and rockers of all styles—library tables—center stands—and a liberal showing of fumed oak mission furniture for the living room, library and den. Ask particularly to see this Grand Rapids stock at half price. Seattle’s Largest Housefurnishing Store Buy Now Pay Later All the Cred't You Wan) PIKE 81. AND FIFTH AV. arriage to Anan!
