Esta blisned Facts.

Facts that are known to many and
should he known TO many more and that
is that Clemann and Sslzmann, the old
and reliable furniture and carpet dealers,
have the largest and finest stock of car
pets and furniture in this vicinity. They
also have the most convenient store, hay
ing ground space S0x150, besides the
upper stories and ware rooms that are all
filled to eveIfiowing with goods of the
most desirable styles. In the spacious
carpet room this firm are showing over
four hundred rolls of the choicest car
pets, both in style and quality, to be
found in the market, and far ahea1 of
any competition. So large is their trade
that every few days fresh carload of
bedroom suites is received in all sorts of
woods and all clear lumber and tn e
very best workmanship. Now it
is only natural to suppose
that this firm buying in as large quanti-
ties as they do, are enabled to command
lower prices than smaller dealers. An
other policy they long ago adopted was
to avail themselves of any discount al
lowed by the manufacturers. Now this
matter of discount figures up to q good
many hundred dollars every year with a
firm that does as large business as
Clemnann & Salzmaun do. When you
come to figure up the discounts they are
allowed for cash and purchasing in such
large quantities. it is evident to anyone
that their prices cannot be duplicated by
smaller dealers. Now they want all in
tending buyers to ponder over this thing
in their minds. Call and examine their
stock, get their prices and become con.
WINGED of the truth of their statement of
facts.
