A Unique Service 
H OUSE-FUR- 
NISHING is a de¬ 
lightful art. 
The room you decorate and 
fit out elaborately and then 
never use is really the most 
costly. 
You might spend thousands of dol¬ 
lars on the wrong furniture, hang¬ 
ings, rugs, or bric-a-brac, and then 
be sorely disappointed. On the 
other hand if, before you buy, you 
secure complete information about 
the hundreds of artistic, unique 
and practical things the up-to- 
date shops are showing, your home 
will be a joy. 
While this information costs noth¬ 
ing, yet it may save you hundreds 
of dollars. After all, the things 
you buy and grow tired of, or 
never use at all, are really the 
most expensive. 
Your Problems Answered 
We have found a way to supply all 
your wants. Without expense you 
can secure information on any of 
the subjects indicated in the cou¬ 
pon below or others that you may

selves. We can supply all your 
needs, not only relating to furnish¬ 
ing and decoration, but in regard 
to all phases of building, remodel¬ 
ing, repairing, gardening, poultry, 
garages, autos, dogs, real estate, 
etc.—in fact, everything pertain¬ 
ing to the subject of the home and 
its surrounding and their care. 
Our only consideration is that you 
are sincere in your desire for in¬ 
formation—that you will advise us 
whether the service supplies your 
wants and meets all your require¬ 
ments.
