just One Year Ago We
Started the Furn

NOW Hawleyville as u railrord center. has

because people gave 1t but a passing thought
and applied the general rule that large and

The town hasn't got there yet, but it is sol

Yon know it, your mother knows it and your
grandmother knows 1t. Dealers know 1t and
fight againstit. They preach to You the duties
OF patronizing home industries and they dis

harpipg upon the duties and benefits of reci-
procity long before he was born, bnt the stub
born fact remains that when You buya parlor
suite, cabinet 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 1t is to be found anywhere within q rea-
| sonable distance. Now this Is just the reason
why we are at Hawlevville, to catch this class
| for it than our location opposite the Union de-
pot at Hawleyville. We are catering to a dis
ination of our books viii 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 what we have been striving for When
you select an article of furniture at Hawley
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 "a living 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 for a larger deal, have never quoted the
price of 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 emphatically. that the many ad-
vantages of our location enables us to handle
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, insurance and taxes are extremely low
at this point. Cars are unloaded right into
our warerooms. No cartage either in receiy-
ing or shipping, don't even keepa horse and
have no outside expenses. While we enjoy
much better freight and passenger accom-
modatiOns than any city can can give us, we
people come such long distances to buy our
goods. The many fiattering notices and criti-
cisIns You have seen in the State papers have
not one of them been paid ads or puffs, nor
called out by any suggestion OF request OF
ours. The natural inference, therefore, is
that our stock and business warrants what
has been said about it, but we shall be pleased
to have you call and see for yourself. And
don't forget to make tree use of our waiting
and reading rooms when waiting over at Haw-
leyville for trains.
