# *What a* BETTER HOME *means to* a Man
The right sort of a home means to a man, perhaps more than anything else, COMFORT—a place where he can rest and recuperate his weary brain and body—a place where he can turn for real relief from a strenuous business life.
A well-furnished home, with good furniture in good taste, with harmonious carpetings and drapings, arranged and outfitted to contribute in fair measure to the welfare of husband as well as wife, with at least one room for HIS special benefit, wherein he may lounge, smoke and read—where he may entertain HIS friends—such a home will center a man's interest and go far toward preserving the "tie that binds."
A well furnished home does not require elaborate or expensive furniture. Indeed, it may be very simple. But it DOES require suitable, practical furniture and furniture in good taste—and these essentials are easily obtained if the selection is but made at the right store, where there is the desire to really help the homemaker, rather than merely sell them.
"You Had Better Buy at Baxter's!" for here will be offered many suggestions, helpful to wives or husbands, toward making congenial homes for menfolks—and toward making homes attractive for ALL the family. We suggest the wisdom of calling upon us—"Better Buy at Baxter's."
