Dage 8, Thursday, July 27, 1972, WHITBY FREE PRESS Cherneys invest one million in Whitby The attractive landscaping appoint- nents at the million-dollar Chernev fur- i i t u r e outlet on Highway 2 has been :redited to Whitby Planning Director vlofeed Michael by Myer Cherney, one :f three brothers responsible for the mpressive Whitby outlay. "We've been planning the project for iveyears, " said Harry Cherney of the /enture. "It's a unique concept in fur- iiture retailing that is a first in Canada; vhat we've done is custom-built a fur- ii ture varehouse and showroom that has itotal area almost the size of two foot- >all fields. It's four times the size of >ur old Oshawa store which we closed ast month. " Pointing to a vast array of furniture ;et up throughout the main floor and up- )er 1 evel, he said, "There are over 200 ,oom settings here under one roof. Cus- omers can see how the furniture looks ;et up with the proper accessories be- :ore they buy it. Everything in each oom setting is for sale, from the at- ractive paintings on the wal Is to the a c c e n t lamps or smallI accessories. Drice tags show the manufacturers sug- Des ted retail price as wel I as Cherney's averyday sale price, which includes de- ivery of big ticket items such as sofas, >edroom and dining room suites. "What we are able to do on large tems is give customers a choice. We'll del iver their purchases or they can save 3ven more money on the original price :agby taking their purchases with them n the original factory cartons. " C h e r n e y ' s has been unofficially >pen for about two weeks and there has >een a great response to this idea, "says Ar. Cherney, "Many of the purchases have been made by people who have taken them away in their station wagons, cars o r trucks from our special customer loading area. "We're set up for this kind of thing. The secret of this building is the fact that we have a very tight controi on o v e r h e a d expenses. Wi th a huge warehouse under the same roof wi th the sales-centre - a warehouse - which is completely mechanized to cut handling costs - we can afford to give the custo- mer a meaningful price break. I" The new Cherney's occupies three and a half acres of land on the Lang- maid property, Highway 2 at Thickson Road. Mrs. Catherine Langmaid still 1 i v es in the pleasant brick property home immediately adjacent toCherney's. "I came here as a bride in 1924"1, she recall s. The Langma id family still retain about 29 acres of the original 200 acre farm. Archi tects f or the impressive new Cherney's Salescentre is the Toronto firm of Satok & Poizner. 2ecause of the variety of merchan- dise and the unique presentation, Harry Cherneyexpects to draw business from the east end of Toronto as well as the immediate trading area. "We're sure to be copi ed by others, says Harry, "but it's always nice to be first. " PIZZAZZIP 668-6495 Cou. And Visit Us At 106 Byron St. S. Wl-fITB V OPEN HOURS Sunday thru.
