When John andVictoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very manythings with them.They had planned either to live in a furnished
apartment or to buy used furniture.But they soon learned about a new system thatmore and more people are using.The renting of home furnishings （bed, tables, dishes, and
so on） has become one of America's fastest growingbusinesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Peoplewho are international business or government officials, foreign students,airline workers,
young married couples-people whose job or business may force them to movefrequently from one city to another.They save a lot of trouble and the cost ofmoving their
furniture each time.They simply rent new furniture when they reach their newhomes.Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture thatthey may soon
dislike.They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture theyreally like.Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture thanthey could afford
to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked theirrented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buyingnew things.But
usually people don't like to tell others about it.The idea of renting homefurnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighborsmight think.
