It’s a Good Idea
To buy a new piece of furniture every now
and then, and thus keep the home looking
new, fresh and up-to-date.
Few families can expect to furnish the home
anew very often, but anyone can keep it
always looking well furnished and in keep
ing with the taste of the day by replacing
of the most wornout and out of date articles,
one or two at a time.
Why not take an inventory of YOUR home
furnishings and lay your plans this year for
the replacing of those things which have
outlived their usefulness?
I ” k‘ I
Keep your home looking new, fresh and up
to-date.
