The Newtown bee., 1892-10-21
Just One Year Ago We
Started the Furn-
ture Business in
Hawleyville

| NOW Hawleyville 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 is SO
easy OF access to the travelng Pnp11e d as Haw
venture here was one year ago looked upon
as 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
i'll the center OF IL large and growing town.
The town hasn't got there yet, but it is sol
emn truth that the descendants of Adam al
most to "a man q would have said woman had
dared) like to go away from home TO trade.
You know it, your mother knows 1t and your
grandmother knows it. Dealers know it and
fight against it. 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 you buy a parlor
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 so long display
ed in the show windows of your own town.
You bear your dealers no i'll will but you want
that unique design and you are going to have
it if it is to be found anywhere within rea-
sonable distance. Now this is just the reason
why are at Hawlevville, to catch this class
OF trade No point was ever better calculated
for it than our location opposite the Union de-
pot at Hawleyville. We are catering to a dis
tant rather than local trade, and an exam
each carload OF bedroom suits hardly any two
OF the same pattern goes to the same town
They scattered all over the State and we
are selling lots OF goods to be shipped 100 and
200 miles away. This is just as 1t should be
and just what we have been striving Tor Wnen
you select an article of furniture at Hawley
VILE, you are pretty sure to get something
that your town has not been Hooded with.
Now about prices. We are here to sell goods
at a living commission. Are making no clap
trap offers to sell goods at half price or less
than cost. Are selling no chairs at S6,reduced
from $II, 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 single article in our advertising col
umns. We make no claims Tor shrewdness
superior business methods above our fel
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 buslness,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 emphatically. that the many ad-
vantages of our location enables us to handle
a large and fine class of goods upon a smaller
commission than can any other furniture man
in the State of Connecticut, don't care If he
drinks the very thinnest kind of lemonade
and smokes grapevines. We own our build
ings and have no rent to pay. Land, build
ings, insurance and taxes are extremely low
at this point. Cars are unloaded right into
our WarerOOms. No carriage either in receIV
ing or shipping, don't even keep 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 hattering 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
that our stock and business warrants what
has been said about 1t, but we shall be pleased
to have you call and see for yourself. And
