The phenomenal growth of the Ashby Furniture Co. is in a great measure due to a strict adherence to the rule that the quality of Ashby merchandise must be beyond reproach. Never do we stock inferior grades of furniture merely to be able to offer "low price" as a magnet.

But with the great saving in rent effected through our inexpensive location, our buying power and snyill-margin policy, it is possible for us to offer the better grades of home furnishings at prices as low, and in many cases lower, than that asked for merchandise produced under "price pressure" solely for sensational selling events.
