AN IDEAL ROOM
is not only1 possible in every h6mq, but it is possible to
have every room ideal. This may be effected by the
proper furniture and arrangement. Most all stuffy
rooms are stuffy from the fact that the furniture does
not harmonize. Haven't you been in a house that has
an atmosphere of comfort and pleasantness and har
mony which made you feel very different? There is
nothing so important in fitting up a home as discrimi
nation in selecting your furniture. Come in and let us
prove this to you. You can readily see for yourself
how, if some of our stock were installed in your house, '
they would complete your assortment and transform
the appearance of that stuffy room.
