Where Furniture

Building is a
Fine Art

In the Detroit Furniture Shops you find an or-
ganization uniue in the furniture trade.

It was founded over twenty years ago and by a
group of men who believed it possible to imbue a
modern furniture shop with the same spirit of sin-
cerity and striving for the beautiful and artistic,
which raised the work of the famous medieval fur-
niture designers to the plane of Fine Arts.

Making our own furniture and selling directly
to the consumer enables us to control every opera-
tion and know that it is done as well as human
akin can accmoplish it.

It permits us to offer a much wider selection
of styles and patterns than any ordinary furniture
store can possibly carry.

It permits us to give our customers the satisfac-
tion of knowing that, no matter what pieces may
be selected, they wlit be correct in design, beautiful
and harmonious to look at, and will possess the
true, lasting beauty that can only come from sin-
cere, honest workmanship and materials in the un-
seen parts as well as the seen.

An interview with General Storrs,
governor of Jerusalem, debarred from
talking politics, while interesting, per-
haps even stimulating, to the inter-
viewer, must be something in the
nature of a nuisance to the inter-
viewee, and frightfully disappointing
to the public. It is perhaps not un-
