PAYS FIVE PER CENT
FOR CASH BUSINESS
Doris Heyman Furniture Company
Offering Inducements To At
tract this Class of Trade.

AS an inducement to it's present
customers to pay cash for their
purchases, and also as an induce
ment to persons who usually pay
cash to trade at its store, the Dor
ris-Heyman Furniture company will
hereafter give each cash customer a
card redeemable in trade for five
per cent of the amount of the orig
inal purchase.
Four National cash registers of a
specially designed type have been
installed in the store. One is on the
first floor. one on the SECOND, one
in the wall paper department and
the fourth in the furniture division.
These registers have an automatic
printing attachment.
In the front of the register are a
number of lettered keys, each clerk
having a certain letter. When a
customer makes a purchase and
hands over the money, the clerk
presses his particular key, then rings
up the amount of the purchase and
turns the handle. From a slot on
the left side issues a small card,
with the clerks letter the amount
and the name of the firm printed
thereon. This card is handed to the
customer, who then takes 1t to any
part of the house and buys what he
may desire
For instance, when a fifty dollar
purchase is made the customer re-
ceives in return a card good for
S2.50 in trade. The company believes
that nearly anyone will think it
worth while to save five per cent,
and 1t is willing to pay that, much
for cash business, since it saves a
great deal of bookkeeping and dis
poses of the worry and expense of
making collections.
Several improvements have recent
~ been made in the Doris Heyman
store. which occupies the four floors
of the Noble block. One of these
improvements is the setting of a
stairway in place of an iron fire
escape in the passage leading from
the fourth floor to the roof. The
stairway is now perfectly safe for
ladies, while formerly only men
cared to attempt the ascent A re-
preventative of The Republican who
was taken up on the roof yesterday
was amazed and charmed by the
view disclosed The uttermost limits
of the valley. north. south. east and
went, are visible from this vantage
point The Doris Heyman wishes
the public TO make use of it's roof
and visitors are welcome at any
time.

find an abundance of interesting ma
terial unfolded before them in the
guise of entertainment. The histor-
ic battle scenes, based upon fact;
the scenes OF Western lawlessness;
the Indian attacks. and other in
cidents depicting life. on the plains
will afford interesting topics Of
study. 1t will be remembered too,
that in several particulars the Wild
West is presenting factors which will
in a few years be impossible to re-
produce; the American Indian, the
last of their race; the buffalo, erst-
while monarch of the, plains, now
almost extinct; Western range
horses, and the American cowboy.
The fencing of the cattle ranges is
fast dispensing with the necessity for
cowboys and horses in the vast
numbers which were required when
the plains were 'boundless." In this
decade we are seeing the last dis
tinct attributes of a declining era;
the old West is now no more; its
"reminiscences are already few, and
shortly will have passed entirely
from view, as does the old scout,
Buffalo Bill, on this his final visit
to our city.
