We respectfully request every
family in The county to examine the
Economy Flour Bin when the sales
men call. This is our means of adj
vertising our goods, aud the COM
pany pays its men good salaries for
this express purpose, and requires
them to show the bin at every house,
if possible, whether the parties wish
TO buy or not. Our statesmen are
sometimes met at the door with the
salutation "we don't want to buy
and consequently won'ttake up your
time unnecessarily to show us your
bins" If our men showed the bin
to those only who wanted to buy be-
fore having seen it. their work would
soon be over, and they would fall
far short of doing the duty to their
Company that they are employed to
do. Our main object is to lay a
foundation for a future trade on the
bin, and we ire not depending Who'll
ly on the immediate orders we take,
consequently we want every one to
at least examine the bin.
Some people have such a narrow
idea of business that they see only
the present and never consider the
future of n business. Our company
has gone to heavy outlay of money
in equipping its factory and getting
its business established on a solid
basis, and our main interest is cen
tered in the future of the business,
and it is the ambition of the company
to make the Economy Flour Bin as
staple q household article as a cook
stove or sewing machine, or any other
piece of furniture.
There are many irresponsible
agents on the road of questionable
character and wholly INSCRIPTIONS
az to the manner of doing business,
selling various kinds of goods, who,
if admitted into a house to display
their samples, will bore the people
to de ath for their patronage, and il
they fail to get it will feel offended
and show their dissatisfaction very
plainly by their words and actions.
We take this opportunity of assuring
the public that such will not be the
case with any of our men, and if you
are kind enough to look at the SAM
pie you will not be bored for an
order, but will be kindly thanked
for your time and attention, and in
every way treated c~ourteously
whether you purchase or not, and we
feel that our men deserve and will
get the same kind and courteous
treatment from the public.
Our company makes it q rule to
employ none but sober, upright, bus
mess men men who conduct them
selves as gentlemen whether at home
or abroad, and their continuance
with the company depends more on
their proper conduct than it does on
the amount of immediate business
they do, and if any one finds these
facts to the contrary they will be
thanked for reporting the same to
the company's main Office at Kansas
City, Mo-, or the branch office at
Charles Town,
AS to the responsibility of the
company we refer to any of the
banks of Kansas City, Mo-, or any
desired information on this point
can likely be obtained through the
First National Bank of this place.
We will make Charles Town our
headquarters for this portion of the
country, where we will be located
for several months. Our Office is
located on Main street directly oppo-
site Mr.. Merchants grocery store,
where we invite all to call and see
US. We keep one of the bins, with
all apartments filled, in working
order, and would like for every lady
who comes to Charles Town to see
just how it works.
Thanking our many patrons and
the public generally for The encour-
agement given u business thus far,
we are
Very Respectfully,
E. F. B. CO.,
NJ. F. Brown,
