The Newtown bee., 1892-10-14
Just One Year Ago We
Started the F'urn-
ture Business in
HaWleyville

NOW Hawleyville railrord center has
IN stood almost without an equal in the Nut
meg state for years. No man can desire bet
ter facilities for the distribution OF freight to
all points OF the compass and no point is SO
easy OF access TO the raVeling public as Haw
leyVllle. Everyone comedies this and yet our
venture here was one year ago looked upon
the crazy act OF a lunatic. Why? Simply
because people gave it but a passing thought
and applied the general rule that large and
successful business could be maintained only
in the center of IL large and growing town.
The town hasn't got there yet, but it is a sol
emu truth that the descendants of Adam al
most to man q would have said woman had
dared) like to go away from home to trade.
You know it, your mother knows it and your
grandmother knows it. Dealers know it and
fight agalnstlt. They preach to you the duties
OF patronizing home industries and they dis
counted the brilliancy 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 yon buy paflOr
suite, a cabinet or side-bOard you do want
to and you strive to surprise and please your
friends with some unique designs different
from the ones they have seen 50 long display
ed in the show windows of your own town.
You bear your dealers no ill will but you want
that unique design and you are going to have
it if it is to be found anywhere within a rea-
sOnable distance. Now this is just the reason
why we are at Hawlevville, to catch this CLASS
OF trade. No point was ever better calculated
for II than our location opposite the Union de-
pot ut Hawleyviile. We are catering to ii dis
tant rather than u 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 ana we
are selling lots of goods to be shipped 100 and
200 miles away. This is just as it should be
and just What we have been striving for When
you select article of furniture at Hawley-
vllle 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 Il diving commission. Are making no clap
trap offers to sell goods at half price Or less
than cost. Are selling no chairs at $6,reduced
from $ll, etc. Neither do they who so adVer.
tiSe- We are offering no low priced leaders as
bait tor larger DEAL have never quoted the
price of a single article in our advertising col
umns. We make claims for Shrewdness
or superior business methods above our fel-
lows. We calculate that we buy our goods
right, but do others. w e smoke low priced
cigars, drink no very strong lemonade and we
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 emphaticaliy, that the many ad
vAntageS of our location enables us to handle
Il large and fine class of goods upon a smaller
commission than can any other furniture man
drinks the very thinnest kind of lemonade
and smokes grapevines. We own our build
ings and have Do rent to pay. Land, build
ings, insurance and taxes are extremely low
at this point. Cars unlOaded right into
our WarerOoms. No carriage either in receiv
ing or shipping, don't even keep Il horse and
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-
clSmS you have seen in the State papers have
not one of them been paid ads or puffs, nor
called out by any suggestion or request OF
ours. The natural inference, therefore, is
that our stock and business warrants what
has been said about 1t, but we shall be pleased
to have you call and for yourself And
don't forget to make free use of our waiting
and reading rooms when waiting over at Haw
leyVllle Tor trains,
