A Word About Meeting Foreign
Competition

At times we have to visit us in our homes represen-
tatives Of concerns whose establishments are several
hundred miles from Marshall and Saline County. In
most every home in the County from one to five cata-
logs issued from some large reputable mercantile es-
tablshment. They vary very largely in terms and
prices, from cash with order" to pay as you please
terms to suit you, sometimes a range is sold and note
taken at a price that the seller can discount at your
home bank. Now, we wish TO be understood as recog-
nizing many Of the firms these people and their catalogs
represent as being strong, legitimate competitors. We
believe that you are ready to spend your money in your
own County when you can get as good a value for your
dollars at home. We have ranges that will cost you
S62l5 SO running down to $500, $500 and $500 cook
stoves. Dressers from $500 to $4,000, 9by IL room
size rugs from $4.69 to $45. We are going to appeal to
these who have been BUYING such goods &c We sell from
o eliza oouses to permit Us 10 figure with them on your
every home requirement. Bring your catalogs ana
your lists and we will assure you Of the most courteous
treatment and fair comparison for we recognize that
this foreign competition known as catalog house problem
is one that the merchants must face and meet honestly
and squarely. We have no fears of the result.
