A CARLOAD OF
CATALOGUES

Every house in the city of Grand
Rapids and vicinity is receiving
copy of 700 page catalogue No IS
issued by Montgomery Ward & Co,
pense this must be and the question
naturally arises, who pays for this
freight and expense? The people
who buy goods from this firm must
pay their share of this expense
every time they buy an article, thru
the avenue of these catalogues. We
received copy at our home on
Thursday, March 3rd. We took the
book and interviewed several Of our
merchants and without exception,
they stated that any party who would
bring the catalogue and indicate Whaf
article they wanted that they would
duplicate and fill the order at the
catalogue price. This means, of
course, that the cash must be paid
down when the article is purchased
in the store. The above company
insist that when you send your or
der into Chicago, the cash must ac-
company the order. Our local mer-
chants will do the same by you and
give you the Identical article manu-
factured by the same people. We
want our people who received these
catalogues to test this out with
our local merchants as to price and
conditions stated in the catalogue.
Try it and see.
