They téll us this without any other motive than kindness, for they already have our orders and have had them for more than a year; for Gimbels foresight always provides that there will be no shortage of Furniture at Gimbels. There are other Furniture Stocks in the country that may approach the Gimbel stock in quality. There are some stocks of Furniture that somewhat imitate the Gimbel stock in variety. But so far as Gimbels have been able to ascertain, nothing touches the low prices at Gimbels—and that in the face of the fact that when price, quality and variety are taken into account, nothing better of the kind is in the Furniture World than that which is now at Gimbels. Only a few pieces illustrated, but Gim- bels Warehouses and the Seventh and Eighth Floors are full of Furniture.
