They preach to you the duties I Of patronizing home industries and they dis counted the brilliancy ot James G.

 that unique design and you are going to have
 sonable distance. Now this is just the reason why we are at Hawlevville, to catch this class
 ot trade. No point was ever better calcniated
 for it than our location opposite the Uniondes
 pot at Hawleyville.r We are catering to a dis
 tant rather than local trade, and an exam.
 nation of our books will show that out of each carload ot bedroom suits hardly any two ot the same pattern goes to the same town. Iney are scattered all over the StaIe ana we are selling lots of goods to be shipped 100 and POO miles away. This is just it should be and just what we have been striving for When't you select an article of furniture at Hawlsy- l ville, 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 n living commission. Are making no clap 1 trap offers to sch goods at half price or less than cost. Are selling no chairs at $6,reduced 1 from $ll, etc. Neither do they who so adver- 1 tise. We are offering no low priced leaders IS
 bat for a larger deal, nave never quoted the
 Ia ftyf i'm umns. We make no claims tor shrewdness I or superior business methods above our fel- 1 lows. We calculate that we buy our goods l right, but so do others. W 0 smoke low priced I 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 i do better by you than many others. We do | claim, most emphatically, that the many ad- Yantages of our location enables us. to handle l a large and fine class of goods upon smaller l 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 nave 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 much better freight and passenger accom- | modations than any city can can give sus, we 1 avoid all those city expenses. That's why people come such long distances to buy our l goods. The many 1attering notices and criti- 1 cisms 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 l has been said about it, but we shall be pleased l to have you call and see for yourself. And i don't forget to make free use of our waiting ] and reading rooms when waiting over at Flaw
 1eyVille for trains. l
