It's first come, first unnerved this Goofsday at Gorman's.
They say it never hurts to look but we've been looking at
these clunkers so long we're starting to get goofy. We've got
a potpourri of stagnant sofas, a plethora of unchosen chairs,
and a whole pile of other stuff with savings up to 70%! And, if
that's not enough, Gorman's designers will be at your ser-
vice at no extra charge. That's enough already!

Remember Steve McQueen in "The Blob?" Well, it could be
you in this blob of a FLAIR SOFA. It's almost free form,
just looking for a room to plop in. 102" long with semi-attached
pillows. Ordered by a buyer who's presently semi-attached to
his job
Ah so. A HERITAGE LOVESEAT from the mysterious Orient.
And how it got here's a mystery to us. Covered in a Chinese
print depicting the invention of the carry-out order. The only
trouble with this couch is an hour after you finish sitting on it,
you want to sit on it again.
Here's a 90" FORECAST SOFA and matching CHAIR in a
peach waffle print. Ordered by a waitress in a pancake house,
but we guess it just didn't stack up. The peach color is really
the pits, so we'll throw in 2 throw pillows to cushion the deal.
If you hate abstract art, why not sit on it? Here's a couple of
THOMLINSON SOFAS in an abstract flame stitch custom
cover. A lot of nice colors, too bad they're all on the same
couch
A 6 piece PLAYPEN for big kids in driftwood velvet cover
Three corners, 2 armless and 1 ottoman. Ordered by a guy
whose wife didn't want to play around after all. It's quite a
matchless set, that is, one piece has faded. But then, the price
is pretty matchless, too!
Bamboo motif BAR CARTS with2 glass shelves in chrome or
polished brass. Take home and assemble for minutes of fun.
Or better yet, let the kids do it. It'll learn 'em a trade. And save
you 50%I
Atop this little pedestal sits an antique walnut octagonal top
END TABLE. Course it wasn't an antique when it got here, but
that was a long, long time ago. It's got a drop leaf top and a
drop dead price.
Hey you chrome and glass freaks! We've got TABLES, TA-
BLES, TABLES! Terrific tops and great legs. Chair sides,
consoles, round cocktails, and square end tables. A pretty
table is like a melody. And you can have htese beauts for a
song.

If this desk looks familiar, you've been watching too many
soap operas. Say hello to this spindly-legged, inlaid wood
topped OAK DESK left over from "A Brighter Day." Yes, wilt
John write Marsha? Will Iris write her real mother? Will you
write a check? Will we write this off 70% Write on!

Manufacturer has discontinued this GENUINE LEATHER
FLAIR CHAIR and OTTOMAN. And no wonder! It's too big for
one and two small for two and the flying dutchman style
ottoman is too much for anybody. But the price is just right.

SKIRTED CHAIR by HERITAGE in herringbone cut velvet. If
you don't need the chair, just filet the herringbone and make a

We just can't rest. So you get this TFIAYER COGGIN

to get rid of it.

Here's a parsons style formica covered END TABLE with
pencil drawer. Could be a desk for short people. The top looks
like alligator. Better snap it up quick.

Here's a real one of a kind FLAIR SCOPE ARM CHAIR
Unfortunately, we've got 2 of them, with a flair for sitting around
here forever. They're neutral beige, and can blend into any
setting. Which is probably how they've stayed here so long.

How's this for FORECAST? A cut velvet SOFA with a chrome
plynth base (that's okay, we don't know what plynth means
either). It's steel grey at a steal price

Wait a second! Over 60% off! That's right. These chrome and
corduroy CHAISE RECLINERS are imported from Sweden.

them back. In a wide selection of 2 shades of brown. They're
adjustable to almost any position you can think of. Nuff said?

We're really between a rocker and a hard place now. So you

gotten one of these.
