[edit] Sales tax
"No sales tax" applies only if you live in NH, which has no sales tax, or take delivery of the furniture on-site. I once bought a mattress at the Nashua store to be delivered to an apartment in Boston and was charged Mass. sales tax due to the destination. So should that really be considered an "attraction?"

- That sentence should be changed. Almost everyone who lives in the area knows that NH has no sales tax, so it doesn't need to be mentioned. IMO, that sentence borders close to advertising. Peter Tangney 16:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tenses
The whole article shifts, apparentley randomly, between past and present tense, sometimes even in a single sentence. It's pretty much just ad copy, and very poorly written ad copy at that. In fact, the article should probably be simply deleted, unless someone can come with an encyclopedic reason for keeping it. As it stands, it's a blatant but clumsy advertisement.
It's paraphrased from the Jordan's website, probably without their permission. If you go to the Jordan's website you see this text almost exactly the same - only here on Wiki someone tried to put it in their own words, making it look like sloppy ad copy.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jordans logo.gif
Image:Jordans logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
