The Furniture Store is all a-smile be- cause after a gruelling three weeks of get- ting in furniture when it seemed impossi- ble to get it, because of railroad congestion, AW now in dete order, ready for the public’s approval and selection. Three weeks ugo there was scarcely a hope of polkting the August Sale, Dor stocks were so badly broken by the great May and June selling that almost over- whelmed us in the campaign to lower prices, that it seemed impossible to get enough new shipments here against the freight embargoes. But we got through not only “enough,” but more new furniture than we ever had before in opening a sale, You won’t know the Furniture Galleries —so changed are they. So rejuvenated. So alive with beautiful new furniture. So many charming things to choose from, Scarcely an old piece or set on the floor, Good old classical designs, of course— period designs--but in different finishes and woods and often in adapted form to suit present day needs—for instance, that row of charming breakfast furniture fac- ing the elevators on the Sixth Gallery; small tables with consoles that make a a dining room and living room, interchange- able at will; and the smaller bedroom a! dining room furniture so cozy in the smalle' apartments of New York.
