Looking Backward

1t was not so long ago that the merchant a
mere barterer of merchandise for cash. and cash for
merchandise.
Many of you remember when every store had
runner-in' outside the door, who earnestly urged
upon you the bargains to be found within.
Once inside the door you were greeted by sales
man who quoted you the price article, and if
refused to pay the price asked he brazen asked you
how much you would pay; if he failed to make the
sale, he was severely censured and better man sent
to land YOU"
Code letters were used almost entirely then in
the marking of goods, and haggling over the price
was common still no one knew whether they were
getting the lowest price, no matter how much bag
Cling was done
We could not see the Justice of such system; we
considered 1T niquitous practice of double dealing
that should be stamped out, so we announced that all
goods would be marked in plain figures, and that
every one would receive the price.
This a strange doctrine in the furniture bust
pess of those days; failure predicted by nearly ALL
but cumulative success, through many years, has
proven those predictions wrong and our reasoning
right.
The year just closed the most successful in
our history surprising even our most sangune ex-
pectations. With west side store but year
old, ground broken for the erection of two inn
buildings for present east side store and
warehouse which serves to illustrate in material way
how the public appreciated this Same Price To All
system.
But it remained for the dealers themselves to give
final witness to the merit of policy by their hater-
ing imitation.
Eight furniture advertisements are before us as
write and it is with small amount of pleasure
that in each read plain Price Tickets" Same Price
To All."E
Ideas communal did not try to prevent
other dealers from adopting the system that we had
inaugurated, glad to have them do so. and
only sorry that there still that conduct
their business in the primitive way--who allow their
customer an
other different price.

Looking Forward

This year, but a few hours old, promises to be
the most eventful in our business history
Within few months we will move into
east side store and warehouse two of the most modern
buildings erected for displaying and storing of
furniture.
With the occupancy Of these new buildings in
addition to large west side store, will take
rank Michigan's largest furniture organization.
simultaneously with the occupancy of these
buildings, we will introduce many novations that will
be even more unique than the introduction OF the
Same Price To All System years ago.
Just what these innovations will be- we are not
prepared to state at the present time but this much
will say in all confidence. as we did when we in
PRODUCED the Same Price To ALI system, Every
store will some day adopt the same ideas"
ne perhaps years, in the case of the Same Price
To All" system, but eventually we hope to see the
ideas that we will institute, adopted by all.
Believing that it should be the function Of every
merchant to make buying more simple and more pleas
ant, have Incorporated in the plans of these new
buildings, every feature known to the builders art,
that will add to the convenience of our customers and
will install every conceivable system that will simplify
the sale,and delivery of furniture
But in the formulation of plans for the future
we have never for minute lost sight of the feature
that met with such hearty Endorsement, and almost
universal approval and pledge ourselves on this APP
propriate day. to maintain an absolute Same Price To
All system, regardless Of what other innovations
we may inaugurae and sincerely hope that such other
stores as have fit to copy this system may make
the pledge to you.
In closing, we thank you for your earnest
operation and patronage and wish you happy and
prosperous year.

7. R, FLAyS WILSON
ON HIS LABOR ATTITUDE

SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. Ill proba-
bly, shouldn't make the reference to
Mr. Wilson that 1 am going to make
said Colonel Roosevelt here, "if he
hadn't attacked me. But when any
body attacks me he might as well un-
derstand that / won't take it lying
down. 1 am man of peaceful disposi-
ton, but 1 think 1 am able to defend
myself"
Colonel Roosevelt stopped for an
hour in Superior this morning on his
way to Minnesota. He was to pass
most of the day in Duluth and nc
speeches elsewhere were scheduled
save the one at Superior.
Having given more than a month 10
the exposition of the principles of the
Progressive party, which he believes
are now well understood, he plans to
take a new line of attack during the
closing weeks of the campaign and
"unlimber the big guns" His speech
in Houghton, in which he criticisad
Governor Wilson for the "sullen hos
tility' toward labor which he said Mr.
Wilson had displayed in the past, was
the first Of the series which he expect
ed to make.
Colonel Roosevelt called attention in
his speech here to what he said were
Inconsistencies in Governor Wilson'S
position.
Mr.. Wilson," he said, has attack ed
the proposed federal constitutional
amendment to prohibit child labor, in
very strong language, which is to be
found in the North American Review
volume 1877 He here deIounceS as
hievous the effort for the regula-
tion OF labor in mills and factories by
the federal government
"The Democratic platform in one
plank takes this same position.
Mr.. Wilson'S own statements as tc
the interstate commerce law and child
labor is absolutely incompatible with
his position in standing upon the Dem
ocratic platform with it's plank about
interstate commerce"
