R E C O RD October, 1927 You Get More Than Just Furniture We are gaining an increasing appreciation of the part the Home plays in American life. There is a great satisfaction in realizing that we are not here merely to sell so much furniture and rugs. Nor can we persuade ourselves into thinking that the home equipment of itself is capable of solving entirely the problem of making home at tractive. For we know today, better than ever before, that the real salvation of the home rests upon the willinp-ness of those responsible for its maintenance to put into action the inherent desire to make it more attractive. I Whether it be for a modest cottage or pretentious mansion, it is the spirit behind the purchase that really helps the home. And this makes our work more enjoyable. And now that we have discontinued the practice of '' Clearance Sales,'' we are pricing all goods so reasonably that '' Sales'' of left-over stock will be unnecessary.
