This is a sample of our 
Furniture prices. Here 
is a Couch 
which the 
factory sells 
to your deal¬ 
er at about 
$8.00. Your 
dealer will 
charge you 
not less than 
$10.00 or 
$12.00 for a 
couch of 
equal grade. 
An unusually large, luxurious couch, made of selected oak, or, if preferred, in mahogany 
finish, handsomely carved throughout and supported by massive carved claw feet. It has six 
rows of deep hand-made tufts, fastened with the celebrated steel tufting buttons which cannot 
pull off or pull through the cover 
It is well filled and contains the best grade of steel springs turned from special high-carbon 
wire, over which is placed heavy duck canvas instead of the burlap commonly used, the best 
grade of figured velour plush in all the staple colors being used for upholstering. 
From a sanitary point of view the open bottom firescnts a special feature. It allows good 
ventilation and a free circulation of air, which is disastrous to moths and germs. 
The frame is massive and substantial, the workmanship first class, the appearance neat 
and artistic—a good, serviceable couch at the lowest price ever offered. Size 80 inches wide, 
78 inches long. Weight 100 pounds. 
We do not care to ship goods unless freight charges are guaranteed. If you do not wish 
to send the full amount, S7.25. send us Sl.OO to show good faith, and we will do the rest. If you 
reall v think that you ought not to take even this risk, write us and say that you prefer to have 
the couch shipped C.O.D. and that you will pay the full amount upon arrival and examination. 
We want to be reasonable from every point of view. It may be returned at our expense if 
not satisfactory. Send us your order now; do not wait. Order No. R 41 .
