Here's an IMPORTANT message for youl Read every word of itl If you need new furniture or bed
ding or anything else for your home at a really great SAVINGS/ now is the tim^ to buyl And LAW
SON'S is the place to buy them at the lowest prices you'll find anywhere around. It's gonna be Just
TWO DAYS/ Friday and Saturday/ Feb. 6 and 7—from 9 in the morning until 6 in the afternoon. All
our employees have been off relaxing so there isn't anyone that really knows what all is going to
he on sale. This will be a SURPRISE PARTY for us as well as for you—a little bit like opening Valen
tine packages early. SO. let's get started here's HOPING that you'll come in and Join the FUN—to
morrow at LAWSON'S.
For openers/ let's pick a really good 'un to set the pace. How about a formica covered Spanish DIN
ING Table and 4 chairs that retails for $249.95/ we've got one set/ for the smashing LOW price of $88.
That's like better than 2-3 off—a BARGAIN in anybody's language. For the second look — take a
peep at the 5-piece hexagon table/ chairs/ black tubing/ $88.00/ for $38.00 (only one). If that didn't hit
you. how about a 3-piece White Provincial BR Suite that's snow white. We've tried to sell it for
$299.95 for a year or so. but now we wheel and deal at only $138.00—complete with double dress-
ser, mirror (a mirror is part of the dresser in our figuring)/ Chest and full sized bed Formica tops will
add longer life. I think we've had it a lifetime already!... And we found some more TABLES — if
you remember our table ad two months ago, you know that we really want to GET RID of these odds
and ends. We're down to just a few sets and floor samples that NEED to qo. so here they are. 4 Ma
ple and Oak cocktail tables that sell at $19/ yours for a $5. I set of MEDITERRANEAN jobs/ 2 lamps
and 1 coffee/ that usually sell for $50 apiece/ the whole group for $50. Got some really HEAVY maple
tables that are made in EUROPE somewheres—they weigh more for the money than anything we've
seen at $39.95—you can pick what you want for $ 10 each. One set French and another set Italian—
That sell for $179.85 per set. We need to make room for new stock that's coming in—You can buy
either set tomorrow only for $99. Somebody ought to lump on that savings and get a really fine set
of tables. That's ENOUGH about tables—let's gel on to something else. How about a SPANISH Sofa
and Matching Chair that's covered in a black and gold fabric. Sells for $339/ but if you can say
“OLE", you can score at—would you believe—$149. A Maple dining group, table and 4 chairs,
SAVE $125 and buy this at $75. We bought it on a closeout at the market/ and I really feel that we
were the ones that got closed out I know there's someone out there that wants a vinyl covered
EARLY AMERICAN Sofa and chair for $319. It's covered with best vinyl in light brown, and we'll
let her go, both pieces, for only $138. And let's don't forget about 'BIG ORANGE' and the little Green*
run-around. A good looking linen print covered living room suite that has an orange swivel chair
as a third piece to contrast with the orange color of the sofa—way out in styling—pillow arms—we
bought just ONE TOO MANY—and I guess it's time to sacrifice at a price. Regular $399, you can
really brighten up your home—and the whole neighborhood, for $158.00. And we've got an antique
Green Italian Bedroom Suite that ought to get on out of here before it mildews! A lot of people have
looked at it at $479.00, maybe someone will give it a home for $238.00. We hope by now that you
realize a whole lot of these specials are well BELOW COST—when we want to move some stuff, we
GO ALL OUT. If you don't think so, come on by and look—then go shop around a little and you;
will see that 'IT REALLY IS A FACT—YOU CAN HAVE MONEY AT LAWSON'S. As another ex
ample, we have a floor sample dinette—oval woodgrcdn top* with bronze chairs — that retails for-
$129, yours for only $48. DON'T FORGET-LAWSON'S special 3-ROOM GROUPINGS-A houseful for:
a handful — that includes everything that a new house needs — and beginning at the LOW, LOW;
Price of $388.00. We have a bunch of items, like garbage pails, picnic sets, ice chests, etc., that V
always forget to advertise in the summer, so we'U put them on sale tomorrow at 25c each.
They'll be piled up in a comer somewhere... And there's a few maple gun cabinets on the floor, $99;
—now $40. Man if you've read this far, you gotta be tired, so how about a short break—Relax! Reel
a little. NOW—DONT FORGET, our sale is NOT LIMITED to just the items that are listed in this act
Lots of other items will be tagged at lower prices and if you find something that you want that's not
