The above offer was made in the
early part of this year, and shortly
afterward iG was apparent from the
rect Revenue Act that agents could
not solicit orders for these machines |
without laying themselves liable for
the $500 license tax. From O circular
recently sent out by Treasurer Worth
regarding pianos and organs it Is in
ferred that agents may solicit as much
as they please only so they do not sell
from 4 stock in this State, or sell their
samples. 10 the circular referred to
the treasurer says: Il have made the |
most 'l0eral construction that the law
will admit, the same as in case of sew
ing machines. All are liable except
those acting only as agents for man
u~tactureIS or dealers outside the State; !
who take orders and the instrument is
sid at the factory and shipped direct
y to the agent IN each order, or di
rectly to the customer. Those who ex
caange for organs or pianos, and trade
in them, are clearly liable for the tax"
All that IS said Of pianos and organs
may be said Of sewing machines
The Agency handles no class Of
goods that is better value for the mon.
ey than the Alliance sewing machine
and II should go into every Alliance
nome In the land where a sewing ma
chine is needed.
Who will be the successful contest
ants.
