Why go to the great City of Gotham for
Furniture when you can find a city of
Gotham stock to S, lect from right over at
Hawleyville, and at pricf much under the
city. Now we make this claim because
there is reason in it. A claim without
reason carries no weight Just study the
situation moment, examine the location
of our plant and our conveniences for do
ing business. We own the buildings and
have no high rents to pay: Shipping facil
tiles at this point are unexcelled and We
have no carriage either in receiving or send
ing out. No concern in the state of any
where near our size can begin to do bust
ness under the very small expenses we are
under. Amy man wi h half an eye can see
it. We don't have to tell him this, we only
have to remind him of 1t once in while
Lest he forget, lest he forget" We ad-
vertise no leaders but claim to sell all goods
on a consistent commission and this is not
what the city establishments are doing.
All, or nearly all use leaders. Sell you for
instance a stand for 9Sc that cost them s13
a dozen to buy and then in the next breath
while you are intoxicated over this CSC
bargain, draw a Sl5 commission out Of
you on a nice sidebOard or bookcase, but
some Of the people are getting to the point
where they are no more misled by these
leaders than the old farmers hens we're
when he successfully misled them for
number of weeks by mixing fine saw dust
with their corn meal, but the day of re:ri-
button came at last when he set his favor
lite hen en- bakers dozen of nice selected
eggs and she promptly Matched him out
nine chickens with wooden legs, three
woodpeckers, and a hair Tipped wood
chuck. The old fellow had forgotten that
You can fool one hen all of the time and
all of the hens some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the hens all of the time"
Now we are furnishing up houses In all
parts of the state and we are doing 1t more
on the merits of the wares we are sending
out than by heavy advertising. We have
advertised as you must have noticed but
very little during the last two years, but
Just now some of these editors and pub
fishers are fairly beside themselves with the
idea of actually owning a nice fat turkey
for Christmas or New Years, just like the
rest of US, and we are paying them a good
price for this little space just to help hold
them in the path of rectitude and honesty,
and head off any necessity for raid on
their neighbors turkey vines. Come and
look our stock over and see for yourself IL
we cannot save you money over the In
ducements offered by any other concern in
the state.

says: If for any reason you had

will return you the money paid.
We are credited with the largest
retail book selling in America. 1t has
been a development along the lines
that have made this general business
notable-completeness of stocks and
fairness in prices.
1t was an innovation, decried at
first by publishers, but Immediately
popular with the book-Ioving public.
Now it is esteemed by both book
makers and book buyers, and its
course has certainly tended to make
us all the more a nation of readers.
