The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1896-11-19
A Card to the Public,

] We respectfully request every family
in the county to examine the Economy
Flour Bin when the statesmen call.
This is our means of advertising our
goods, and the company 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 sales
men are sometimes met at the door with
the salutation "We don't want to buy
and consequently won't take up your
time unnecessarily to show us your
bins" If our men showed the bin to
those only who wanted to buy before
having seen it. they would fall far
short of doing the duty to their compa-
ny that they are employed to do. Our
main object is to lay foundation for
future trade on the bin, and we are not
depending wholly on the immediate Or
ders we take. Consequently we want
every one to at least examine the bin. i.
Some people have such a narrow idea
OF business that they see only the pres
ent and never consider the future of a
business. Our company has gone to
heavy outlay of money in equipping
its factory and getting its business es-
tablished on solid basis. and our main
interest is centered In the future of the
business, and it Is the ambition of the
company to make the Economy Flour
Bin as staple household article as a
cooking stove or sewing machine, or
any other piece of furniture.
There are many irresponsible agents
on the road of questionable character
and wholly inscriptions as to the man.
ner of doing business, selling various
kinds Of goods, who if admitted into a
house to display their samples, will
bore the people to death for their pat
ronage, and If they fail to get 1t will
feel offended and show their dissatis-
faction 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 |
sample you will not be bored for an Or
der, but will be kindly thanked for
your time and attention and in every !
way treated courteously whether you
purchase or not, and we feel that our
men deserve and will get the same
kind and corteous treatment from the
public.
Our company makes 1t rule to en-
ploy none but sober, upright business
men men who conduct themselves as
gentlemen whether at home or abroad,
and their continuance with the compa-
ny depends more on their proper con-
luct than it does on the amount of
immediate business they do, and if any
one finds these facts to- the contrary
hey will be thanked for reporting rne
;ame to the company's main Office at
Kansas City, Mo-, or to the branch Of
ice at Tarboro.
As<to the responsibility of the COM
oany we refer to any of the banks of
Kansas City, Mo-, or any desired infor-
nation ON this point can likely be OBJ
aimed through either of the banks OF
his place, or the Scotland Neck Bank.
We Will make Tarboro our headquar-f
ers for this section of North Carolina,
where we. will be located for several
months.
Our office is located first building
Vest side of Main ST., next to the new
ridge, where we invite all to call and
ee us. We keep one of the bins with
II apartments filled in working order,
nd would like for every lady who
ONES to Tarboro to see Just how 1t
works..
Thanking our many patrons and the
'ublic generally for the encourage
nent given our business thus tar, we
re Very Respectfully,
M. F. BROWN, Manager.
