will be confined strictly to the sale of furniture and rugs. Therefore,
we are going to dispose of every sewing machine in our entire stock
at actual cost prices. These machines are all of standard designs, and are
guaranteed for ten years both by the manufacturer and ourselves. We
will also keep a full line of parts, etc., in stock for future replacement, if
required. Coming at any time this would be a very exceptional opportu-
