Just One Year Ago We
Started the F'urn-
ture Business in
HaWleyVille

| NOW HawleyvilIe as a railrord center has
IN stood almost without an equal in the Nut
meg state tor years. No man can desire bet
ter facilities for the distribution OF freight to
| all points OF the compass and no point IL SC
easy of access 10 the travelling public as HaW
| IeyvilIe. Everyo one comedies this and yet oni
venture here was one year ago looked upon
as the crazy act OF a lunatic. Whys simply
because people gave it but passing thought
and applied the general rule that large and
successful business could be maintained only
The etc town hasn't got there yet, but il IS sol
emn truth that the descendants of Adam al.
most to u man q would have said woman h;ad
dared) like to 90 away from home to trade.
You know it, yonr mother knows it and yonr
fight against it. They preach to yon the duties
of patronizing home industries and they dis
counted the brilliaaey OF James q. Blaine by
harping upon the duties and benefits OF reel
procity long before he was born, but the stub
born tact remains that when you buy parior
suite, a cabinet or q side-board Yon 40 want
friends with some unique designs dlnerent
from the ones they have seen SO long display
ed in the show windows of your own town.
You bear your dealers no ill will ,butyou want
that unique design and you are going to have

why we are at Hawlevville, to catch this class
of trade. No point was ever better calculated
pot at Hawleyviile. We are catering to a dis.
tant rather than local trade, and an exam.
ination of our books will show that out of
each carload OF bedroom suits hardly any two
OF the same pattern goes to the same town.
They are scattered all over the State and we
are selling lots of goods to be shippedl00 and
200 miles away. This Is just as it should be
and just What we have been striving for When
you select an article OF furniture at Hawley
VILE, you are pretty sure to get something
that your town has not been flooded with.
Now about prices. We are here to sell goods
at living commission. Are making no clap
trap offers to sell goods at half price or less
than cost. Are selling no chairs at 81, reduced
from $ll, etc. Neither do they who SO adver-
tise. We are Offering no low priced leaders as
bait for a larger deal have never quoted the
price of ii single article in our advertising col
umns. We make no claims tor shrewdness
or superior business methods above our fell
lows. We calculate that we buy our goods
right, but SO do others. We smoke low priced
cigars, drink no very strong lemonade and we
think attend pretty strictly to business,but so
do scores of other furniture dealers, SO there
is only one reason in the world why we can
do better by you than many others. We do
claim, most empbatically, that the many adj
vantages of our location enables US to handle
Il large and fine class of goods upon a smaller
in the State of Connecticut, don't care if he
drinks the very thlnnest kind OF lemonade
and smokes grapeyineS. We own our build
ings and have no rent to pay. Land, build
at this point. Cars are unloaded right into
our warerooms. No carriage either i'll receiv-
have no outside expenses. While we enjoy
much better freight and passenger accom-.
modations than any city can can give us, we
avoid all those city expenses. That's why
people come such long distances to buy our
goods The many fiattering notices and criti-
cisms you have seen in the State papers have
not one of them been paid ads or puffS, nor
ours. The natural inference, therefore, is
has been said about it, but we shall be pleased
to have you call and see for yourself. And
don't forget to make free use of our waiting
and reading rooms when waiting over at Haw
leyville for trains.
