Just Two Years Ago
 To-day

we opened up the furniture business at flaw ] 1eyville and il we now take advantage of this anniversary to call attention to a few facts ! Concerning the business, we trust it will not
 sni3Gk1G strongly Ot egOtism. The severe i and adIel 43 criticism called out at the time
 by the fine st22,- ot goods we put in at this
 "small out offt.b-% ny place" is yeu fresh in EQur minds. tsTe est&blished reputation far

Our main show room is one Ot We tiest in the state,nOt excepting tue cities at put in large and carefully selected stock " the start and have been gradually tncleaslls and improving it in quality and design until we now have stock that is attracting ayuV CTS in village and city alike from every part of the state, not casual and accidental buyers,-rsE distances for the express purpose of buying, i just because we have a fine an0 tasty stock, d little out of the ordinary to select from, and at prices below what the city dealer, strug- gling under city expenses, can sell. Cars are unloaded directly into Onr ware
 
 l in receiving or sending out goods Railroad l tracks radiate from HawleyVille in all diTec- l! tions Our men attend personally to the load ing of goods, and there but few points with X in 50 miles where we cannot send goods straight to destination without change of cars EIlE< or injury and Dreakage 1s therefore so slight that we guarantee sate delivery and pay all freight charges.
 Owning the land and buildings, we have no | eXOrbit2ntrents to pay. Taxes are extremely 1 low. Nc carriage and no extra handling and | marring 0G furniture, our expenses, as anyone 1 ln1lnlteSimallV small l ed with the city ways of doing business. No l similar cOnceaIl of any size in the state can 1 conform to circumstances or hard times and ] reduce expenses to the minimum readily day they fall due, and we mean to buy at the not a back number in it. we do nof advertise l to sell goods at cost or Aaalt price, and never have to trump up any hoc9s pocus reason for doing it. We are in the business to "buy and sell and get gain,' but not at the sacrifice of reputation. w never advertised a low priced leader as bait to pave the way for the sale of something else at high price, We have no special bargains, they are all consistent one | with another and are marked to pay a living commission, but please take notice that some
 dealers would starve to death and fill | pau per.s grave on our living commission. Wedo notclalm to be any smarter, shrewder, more honest, nor better than our fellow men and competitors, and do not claim to be endow ed with any superior business methods, but we i do claim most enphaticalIy that we have many advantages of location that are silently working and counting steadily and faithfully in our favor ag the months and years go bV | even though that location be away out in the bowling wilderness among the tail trees and the frog ponds and pollywog hatcheries of l HaWleyville. The above are no jokes; they are cold facts presented for the consideration of thoughtful buyers, In conclusion we are willing now to acknowledge that our start here was as many said, something Of ven tnre, but we thought we could see way clear to the building up Of il successful busi- ness, and now at the close of two years stead fly Increasing patronage know you will pardon us If we say in somewhat of an exul- tant spirit that we now know made no mis- take and we can only look back to the two years that are past and the social and business conneetiOn and acquaintanGas we have made in city and country jar and near with feeling l of intense satisfaction and pleasure, Our cup of happiness is full,not simply from peeuni- ary standpoint but because our business re lations have all been so very pleasant.
