WHEN Paul Fletcher, the popular Burnley footballer, and


some of his colleagues, open the Elizabeth Mills Furnishing Centre in Burnley tomorrow, they will be seeing the start of another family firm in premises where the family tradition is strong.


He will also see tradi­


tion extended in the type of goods offered for sale, for the quality aims to be high, and with it \vill come the sort of service we often think has gone for ever. Elizabeth Mills Furnish­


ing Centre will trade in trad­ itional suites of furniture for li\’ing rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, halls, and to go with them, lamps, ceramics, occasional tables and many other accessories. Standards will be top


ones, for this is truly a family firm, as Heskeths was before it, in the same street, in the same building and with the same reputa­ tion for quality goods. Arthur Lomas Ltd, bears


the name of the man who started .the Wharf Mill Group, reputable furnishers who became prominent about 17 years ago.


Arthur and his wife,


Marjorie, now have this small family business, and with secretary Mrs Janet Wadeson are bringing to this area a medium to high qual­ ity class of furniture.


Names like Berry and


Galerie Mobel Ltd, bring instant visions of quality furniture to mind, at not too out-of-the-way prices, but with outstanding queries worth more than the asking


prices. Elizabeth Mills describes


its premises as. The Mill you can live in,’ for there is plenty of space and the area IS so wide that whole rooms can be viewed in total to give the right affect to prospec­ tive buyers.

“See the quality, sample ind be amazed at is what


Elizabeth Mills tells its customers. '


The firm takes great care


in choosing merchandise, and in the follow-up service


it gives. It wants to sell furniture


to YOU, but the owners know there is more to successful business than just selling things. They will advise on planning homes, give an after-sales service and sell goods at prices people can afford. ll ie aim of the firm is a


simple three into one, which, it is said, will not go. But for Elizabeth Mills, it will. Qual­ ity, service and price equals El^beth Mills and a satis­ fied customer. How often, and with what pride, we have heard a housewife


say, ‘ j Parker Knoll chair.


It is a which


means, it is good chair, and one that will last.


The Miami suite, with a


three-seater settee and two matching armchairs has one chair which is a recliner. Gentle pressure on the arras, makes the chair glide smo o th l y into a semi- reclining position, or all the way to blissful reclining luxury. In its normal posi­ tion, it looks exactly like its apparently matching chair, which is not a recliner. Craftsmanship does it, but then, Parker Knoll has long been renowned for that.


STYLISH Occasional furniture by


Gibbs, be it a bureau, an occasional table or a record cabinet, will be stylish, extensive in choice, made to fit small or large rooms, and always soundly constructed. Think of a bedroom suite,


and ment a l l y p i c tu r e mahogany finish matt, or mahogany finish matt with gloss polyester fronts. Be daring enough to opt for an


off-white bedroom furniture vrith glass polyester fronts, for the last word in moder-


Oiive green furniture with


glass polyester fronts is another stylish creation — all by Galerie Mobel Ltd.,. for you via Elizabeth Mills. I t i sn ’ t possible fo r


Elizabeth Mills to stock all the wonderful goods it sells, but it will order to customer requirement, • help in every way with advice and service, be it just a picture on the wall or a lamp or a bowl in exactly the right place. Pine is not new in the


kitchens of today, but see it at Elizabeth Mills, and it is like seeing a pine kitchen for the first time — the dresser, the settee, the table and the chairs, cupboards which are free -s tand ing and wall- fixed, and a scrubbed look about it all which is tradi­ tional and also as modem as the ethnic look. Choose a room divider, a


bookcase, a continental headboard or a piece of


Kitchen furniture at highly competitive prices. furniture the colour of cham­


pagne — Elizabeth Mills has It all. ,


Waverley in Dr aycott haze blue,


Imagine a chair ye


and the haze blue


conjures up visions of the real colour of the chair, which is soft as mist upon a


moor. 'There is a Waverley suite too.


Choose green or gold, or


from a wide range of fabrics, including tweeds to uphols­ ter the suite of your dreams. Be top of the luxury class and go for Dralon velvets.


Sui te seating may be


conventional or with comer units which fit together or separate to make perfect chmrs alone, or three chairs which join to make a three- seater settee.


EXCLUSIVE Buy a bed settee or a maxi


sofa, a high-backed chair, or two pretty little matclung lamps for a bedroom. took \rith envy at centre tables of such beauty, they


called


seem out of bounds until the price is known. Then smile at the cost of what looks so exclusive, and is, but not at an exclusive price.


If furniture is what you


want, then the answer is Elizabeth Mills.


When the family firm of J.


W.- Hesketh and Sons Ltd., closed down after 80 years as one of Burnley’s premier household furnishers, it seemed Uke the passing of an era. .


It was famous throughout


North-East Lancashire and we thought those days had gone for ever. Not so, for another family firm lives on at Elizabeth Mills Furnish­ ing Centre. The personal touch has


not been lost, and if that is what you want, plus price comraonsense, plus quality and service, go then to E l i z a b e t h S t r e e t to Elizabeth Mills, and see what a new family firm can offer. You will not be disap­ pointed.
