for Young Moderns
Today's young people just starting out are really in a pickle when they
start choosing furniture. There are so many ways to go wrong today that it
must surely leave many buyers puzzled.
Just look at the questions that need answering before a sound decision
can be made! Bob and Iry at Hopper-Hockey would like to share some of their
experience with you here — or at the store.
Plan your home so that it reflects your personality, your style of life. As
Iry says, "I want my home to be comfortable when I get home. You spend a lot
of time there and it's one of the few places that you have some say about
your surroundings. So why not get something you'll like,"
For the same reason, it's best to spend more money on the living room
than the bedroom, Bob makes the exception of the mattress — one-third of
your life is spent in bed. So, he reasons, why should you wake up miserable?
Buy a good mattress.
Be careful when buying furniture not to buy too much all at once. It's
best to buy a bit at a time and get used to it before you buy more.
For this and other reasons, Bob and Iry advise against buying house
package deals — a whole houseful of furniture put together by a furniture
dealer and discounted for quick sales.
With most package deals you usually end up with buying the price —
and not the product. Someone else has chosen your furniture, with making
money his primary consideration.
Still want a good price? Then choose your own room groupings piece
by piece to suit yourself. Prices are normally lower at Hopper-Hockey than any
city prices (because of a much lower overhead), But if you make your own
group purchase there's every reason you should get an even better deal.
That should leave you free to plan your home and quit worrying over pennies.
Now, if you're a bride-to-be without a place to put it yet, then Bob and
Iry will store it without charge, Money problems? Hopper-Hockey have terms
to suit.
And now to color. This is the great news of this year. Furniture has
blossomed out in dazzling splendour you've never seen before. The browns are
still here, But how dull to just ask to see the browns! The blues and greens
and golds are beautiful and rich, a real pride to own. They're muted just enough
so they won't take charge of a room, but how they do give sparkle to a home!
They'll add gleam to the eye of the householder for years to come.
Styles are also more interesting this year. Modern furniture looks less
garrish than it used to be. The furniture companies are putting gracious living
and comfort back into their products. And they're putting even more reliabil-
ity into the construction too.
This brings up another point. Know your dealer. And if possible know
the manufacturer. Bob and Iry know they must please you if they hope to
have repeat business, so they have chosen manufacturers that won't let them
down. They're now exclusive dealers for Signature Chairs. And they're ex-
clusive for Imperial from Stratford, as well as carrying Kroehler, Vilas, Bar-
onet and Krug Bros. All their furniture is made in Canada.
Make sure you buy from a responsible dealer such as Hopper-Hockey
who will give service long after the sale. Come in and ask questions. Be sure
you know What you are buying. Find out why one chesterfield costs more
than another.
Trust Hopper-Hockey to give you confidence and price.
