Advertising Methods Adopted BY an En-
tsrprising House. s

/ =E =
That Willmar is fast becoming metro
politan in the methods of advertising
used by our merchants to call the buy
ing public's attention to the many splen.
did values which they are Offering, al
so that the wide-awake firm of G. O.
Sand Co., are keeping up with and just
a little ahead Of the times in an adve7-
tising respect is again practically dem
onstrated by what is perhaps the most
elaborate system Of advertising ever at
! tempted by any business house in this
section, namely: the giving away Of the
which will soon be ON exhibition at their
store.
This piano retails at $400 each, guar
| anteed for ten years. The principal
points Of superiority Of this celebrated
Claxton piano over many other Of this
class Of instruments lie in the three
strings in unison with overstrung bass,
the splendidly pitched scale and true
sounding board which give the Claxton
that rich, deep, even tone so much ad-
mired
In a recent interview with Mr.. Sand
regarding this decided innovation in ad-
vertising, Mr.. Sand stated: 1--WE have
been enjoying the patronage and contid-
ence Of the buyers of this community
for some time now and by always trying
to keep our stocks complete the saying
that You can get it at Sands has be-
come a household expression. In giving
away this piano we are actuated by a
double purpose, to show our apprecia-
tion of the patronage Of our friends dur
ing the past, also to encourage new trade
and to bring the many splendid values
we are now showing in all lines to the
attention of every buyer in this terri
tory. The plan we are using in giving
away this piano is equitable and fair
to all, simply this, every person buying
one dollars worth Of any thing in our
store will receive a coupon good for 100
votes. Our advertising contract with the
Willmar Tribune provides that votes will
also be given for money paid on SUBJ
scriptions to the Willmar Tribune. The
person returning to us before June 4;
1913, the largest number of votes will
be given the piano absolutely free of
all cost No favors will be shown. Our
reputation for square dealing assures
our customers of that fact
This four hundred dollar Claxton Par
lor Grand Piano is surely a present
worth having and we predict very
merry race" for votes during the next
few months.
