DAYTON FURNITURE co.

Dick Harper Oncorporated) Ed. B. Ell
lott, the Leading Furniture Deal
ers of Dayton, Wash.
Dayton is we'll known for the char
acter of its leading mercantile houses
That they are as rule more modern
and complete than is common in
towns the size of Dayton, is remarked
by strangers, and especially by trav-
cling statesmen.
It is generally admitted, too. that
the Dayton Furniture Co. is leader
among leaders, and is conspicuous for
having one of the most complete
stocks of furniture, from the artistic
and ornamental to the plain and SER
viceable, to be found in the country
In fact. everything in the line of furni-
ture suited to the mansion, the cot
tage and the cabin is here found in
almost endless variety, and at prices
| to defy competition. Secondhand
goods are also bought and sold, and
new furniture exchanged for old.
The stock also includes a complete
line of Carpets, Rugs, Art Squares,
! Linoleums, Mattings, Mattresses and
| Window Shades, CrOckery, Fine China,
| and Pressed Glass Goods; Trunks,
Refrigerators, Sewing Machines, and
the many Etc. for use or ornament
that go into the furnishings of the
homes in town and country.
There is an old trade adage which
| says, Goods we'll bought are half
| sold" This time-honored adage is d
rule practices by Harper & Elliott to
a degree worthy of special mention.
everything possible is purchased di-
rect from the factory and in carload
lots. This applies especially to fine
| furniture from the East, the palmer
grades of furniture from the Coast,
| and to sewing machines. And it may
be said without fear of successful
contradiction, that in these three lines
OF goods, no merchant in Walla Walla
or Spokane can successfully compete
| in prices with the Dayton Furniture
Co.
| 1t may be said that the days of the
| sewing machine agent are practically
numbered. The best quality of stand
ard sewing machines are fast passing
by the hands of the agent and being
sold at factory prices direct to lead
| the merchant which under the agency
! system he did not get, and makes a
saving of fully fifty per cent to the
people who buy machines for use.
This rule applies only in less degree
to buying furniture from a dealer who
buys in car lots from the factory
| AS an evidence that this company
Keeps fully abreast of the times and
| offers its trade the best of everything,
its stock is among the first in Eastern
Washington to include the newly-in-
vented white Frost Sanitary Re-
| frigerator. This up-to-date refrigera-
tor is made entirely of cold-rolled
| sCeel, and galvanized sheets, and upon
scientific principles. 1t must be seen
to be appreciated, and every house
wife should see it.
The Dayton Furniture Co. cannot
claim the distinction of age In fact
it is comparatively a new house, hav-
ing been established in 1908, and the
present company formed and incorpOr-
| ated in 1905. Ed. B. Elliott is presi-
dent of the company, and Dick Harper
| is secretary and treasurer.
| Their location in the Odd Fellows
building is one of the best in Dayton.
Their stock is one of the most COM
plete, and their capital is ample to
keep the stock up to it's present high
standard.
| They will make it to the reader
interest to call and see them before
buying elsewhere. All goods will be
found marked in plain figures. And
one price to all alike is a rule never
deviated from
