Inc above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mall Order House of the j John NJ. Sn1yth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this com
pany has been in business. Beginning
in a small way, they supplied their neigh
bors in the nearby towns, each year
widening their field They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
thelr customers with an illustrated cata
logue. AS the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size Of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000
Illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
wear and Use. BY superior process Of
color photography they illustrate many
OF their goods in natural colors, bringing
out the rich color value of curtains, car
pets, draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper, etc, thus enabling the Gus
toner hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own freside, knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class Of goods he may expect.
ms feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for 1t not only saves long and tiresome
railroad Journeys but is a great time
saver. 1t leaves out the profit Of the
Jobblng house, the retailer, the expensive
commercial traveller, the general agent,
the sub-agent, and thus eliminates from
one to four profits, saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, it is great
wholesale store brought to the home. The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a Goth
century dictionary of economy.
Ihe illustration below shows the recent
building added to this great enterprise
The success of this company seems in
credible, considering the fact that they
have advertised SO little. Their spirit Of
