Old Number 750 No. 750 happens to be the stock number on a 4-piece Broyhill bedroom suite. It has a beautiful 5-drawer, 48-inch vanity with a large framed plate-glass mirror, an extra large 4-drawer chest with a small framed inset mirror on the top, a comfortable padded bench with back rest and full sized bed. This suite is of extra good quality in sliced walnut in waterfall styling. The younger generation thinks waterfall suites are out of date. We had two of these suites more than we needed so last week they were put on sale at $189.50. Only one sold. The boss called up Monday and wanted to know if both No. 750's moved. I answered: "One left." He said, "Cut it to $119.50.” and. as an after-thought, he asked: "How much did they cost us?' Before I got back to the tel ephone the operator cut me off with the words stuck in my mouth, "$141.00 and $13.40 freight apiece.” Old 750 will be on display in our east window Thursday, Friday and Saturday, too, if not sold sooner. This ;s probably the first time in his tory that a brand new suite of this quality was priced at $119.50. Don't let even a blizzard stop you from seeing this one if you need a bedroom suite.
