JUST THINK OF 1T
A -Four Hundred Dollar Upton Piano
Absolutely Given Away!

That advertising is now a science
Is again demonstrated practically TO
the buying public OF this section by
the wonderful advertising system now
employed by the most enterprislng
business house Of PRESLEY & SONS
who are going TO give away ABSO-
LUTELY FREE to some oneof their
customers on March /, 1913, the beau
tiful UPTON PARLOR GRAND
PIANO which Is now on exhibition
at their store. The Upton Piano
sells for four hundred dollars and is a
HIGH CLASS instrument In every
respect, guaranteed by the makers
for TEN YEARS. JUST THINK
OF 1T! A Four Hundred Dollar Pr
ano TO be GIVEN AWAY! A few
years ago If merchant was to do
such thing he would be considered
a iit subject for an asy lum, but con-
ditions have changed, yet In the face
Of the enormous sum spent In adyer-
tising the fact Of PRESLEY g. SONS
giving away a $4,000 Piano is a stu
pendous undertaking and IL clearly
demonstrates their desire TO be sal
ways up and a little ahead" Of the
spirit Of the times.
Every purchaser Of sLOO worth Of
goods from any department Of their
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. The person
presenting the. largest number Of
votes TO them by March |, 1913, will
receive the piano absolutely free. No
fayors will be shown and every person
will receive an equal chance. The
reputation enjoyed by j. W. PRES
LEY g. SONS for square dealing"
insures this fact. We think the buy
ing people will appreciate this ex-
tremely liberal offer on the part Of
PRESLEY g. SONS, and we predict
a lively scramble for votes.

D. & H. MEN STRIKE.
Those at Plattsburg Are Included in the
Order to Suspend.

Troy, N. Y, Oct, 23.Six hundred men
comprising the unions of the machinists
boiermakers, steamiltters and black
smiths at the Delaware & Hudson rail-
road shops in Watervliet struck, late yes-
terday afternoon, and at a meeting held
last evening il was voted to call out
the union men in the shops at Oneonta,
Carbondale, Binghamton, Saratoga,
Whitehall and Pattsburg.
For some time past the men have COM
planned of grievances, but no action was
taken until yesterday, when they walked
out in an orderly manner and went qui-
etly to their homes j. II. Manning, su.
perintendent of the shop, stated last
night that the men demanded the dis
charge of three machinists who did not
belong to the union and upon his re-
fusal to discharge the men the strike
was called.
The union men, however, say that
they have other grievances which have
arisen since the new shops were recently
opened, which they have asked to have
adjusted, and that the company has been
violating the agreement made
by the officials of the railroad and the
unions.
