Just One Year Ago We

NOW Hawleyville as a railrord center has
IN stood almost without an equal IN the Nut

sonable distance. Now this Is just the reason
OF trade. No point was ever better calculated
for it than our Location opposite the Union ~ ae-
tant rather than local trade and an exam
ination of our books will show that out of
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 shipped 100 and
200 miles away. This Is just as 1t should be |
and just w hat we have been striving for When |

Now about prices. We are here to sell goods |
trap offers to sell goods at half price or less
than cost. Are selling no chairs at $6,reduced

or superior business methods above our fel
lows. We calculate that we buy our goods
cigars, drink no very strong lemonade and we /
think attend pretty strictly to business, but SO
is only one reason in the world why we can
do better by you than many others w g do
claim, most emphatically. that the many ad-
vantages of our location enables us to handle
a large and fine class OF goods upon 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 l.
at this point Cars are unloaded !1ght into
ing or shipping, don't even keep a 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 bay our
cisms You have seen in the State papers have
not one of them been paid ads puffs, nor I
called out by any suggestion or request of
ours The natural Inference, therefore, is
that stock and business warrants what
has been said about 1T, but we shall be pleased
to have you call and see for yourself. And
don't forget to make free of our waiting
and reading rooms when waiting over at Haw
leyville for trains. :r..
