The name of Phillips has long been associated with furnishings and furniture and the latest addition to the premises of Phillips and Sons (Rushden) Ltd. will ensure that the tradition is maintained at its high standard.

Bedroom furniture

Founded in 1891 by Mr. Aaron Phillips, who also founded the Kettering firm bearing the same name, the Rushden business is now in the hands of Mr. L. Phillips and his son, Richard.
Since it was first opened the firm has maintained a steady growth and the new furniture showroom, an extension on the Rushden High Street premises built by Potters, Wellingborough Ltd. gives a total area of 5,000 square feet, all used to make sure that the customer is satisfied and feels at ease.
The latest trend in shop lighting is used to show on the latest and best stock in the five departments — household linens, furnishing fabrics, dress fabrics, furniture and carpets. A tour through the shop will show that anything you need for your home is available.

Lounge furniture
|
|
Pride of place in the shop goes to the furniture department now housed in the new extension. The extension has provided a spacious and attractive showroom with a comprehensive range of dining and bedroom suites to suit every need. There is a large range of lounge suites, occasional chairs and convertible couches by famous manufacturers, all keenly priced.
And if you want those few "extras" to make your well-furnished room into "home" then the department offers a selection of occasional furniture, including bureau, coffee tables, needlework cabinets, magazine racks, companion sets and a fine display "Peerage" brassware.

Self-Selection

Furnishing fabrics
|
|
In the furnishings department you will find a large stock of fabrics in a self-selection fixture—just the job when you haven't quite made up your mind what you need and want a few quiet minutes to look at the fabrics.
Traditional and contemporary prints and brocades by "Grafton", "Tootal", "Heals", "Ruro", "Bevis" and "Sunlover" are but a few of the famous brands available.
For winter months velours and weaves are stocked and high quality Terylene nets are available. In addition there are plenty of pattern books available for your perusal.
But when you have selected your fabric, Phillip's making-service is there to help you. This covers nets, curtains, pelmets and bedspreads, and an expert measuring and estimate advice service is supplisd free of charge.
The firm will also measure and quote for attractive Venetian blinds by "Faber," "Luxaflex" and Ventolite to give your windows extra appeal.
Linen
If you are setting up home, or replenishing your linen cupboard, or simply want to buy a present for someone, the household linen department is ready for your attention.

The towel counter
|
|
Among a guaranteed range of goods are all wool and fibre-blend blankets by "Earlys" of Witney, and "Moderna Sorrento", sheets by "Duro", "Finlays", "Riggs" and "Dorma" and towels of all patterns and sizes.
Boxed presentation towels, pillow cases and sheet sets and many other gifts are in stock.

Dressmaking materials
|
|
In fact the department is there to cater for the home dressmaker. Select your pattern from the "McCalls" paper pattern range choose your materials from the wide range of plain cotton and rayon fabrics in all the latest shades, and then stock up with thread and zip fasteners to match.
And when winter is in mind, visit the same department for the same service to buy from the selection of wool, wool-nylon, wool-Courtelle, Courtelle, brushed rayons and other materials.
Seventy years old in establishment but seventy years young in ideas and service — that is Phillips of Rushden — a claim well substantiated by the service offered.
