Z, Inc leduluE question: III Wd6OuuOlu
to-day is ''Why does the Cooper sell
for more than other wagons?
Does not every one pay more for
reputation 2" Could not the same
wagon with the name Of John Doe or
Tom Brown be sold for less money
at a fair profit !? In reply we say it
costs more money to build the. Coop
er wagon and that is why it sells for
more than other wagons. s;s
Why does the A. A Cooper Wag-
on & Buggy Co. invite inspection of
It's lumber yards while other manu-
lecturers seek to prevent visitors
from inspe Getting their yards and dry
kilns This is why: When the "A.
A. Cooper Wagon & Buggy Co. say
to the publicity at their yards are:
Overlooking with the choicest timber
products of mother nature; that their
material is seasoned in dry sheds.
from five to seven years before; use,
they have the goods to deliver back
Of every statement. We buy sap
green log run material and pay
freight to cur yards on green ma
terial that 1T may receive PERSONAL
sup ervision from the log to the wag-
on. We are thereby enabled TO-
know to an exactly how long it is
in process of seasoning. We pay
taxes and insurance on lumber from
five to seven years that we may
giv4 our customers the Best Wag-
ons Il and Buggies on Earth" We
and year out, Inspecting, sorting and
culling out defective material. Think
OF the amountsof needful expense en-
tailed; the amount of money invest
ed for such period of time bring
ing no income and then know why
the 9 Cooper sells for more than
other vehicles Our process of pre-
pairing timber for our wagons Is Il a
tedious and costly one, but we main
tain that ut is3as necessary as 1t Is
to tan a hide to prepare leather for
a shoe. The proportions of Cooper
Vehicles are project. Heavy tires,
used-in fact, the weight in iron Is
distributed where it does the most:
bolster and stand board plates are
good not for useless .'gewgaws.' 81.
Mark this. In the wheels alone It
is possible to make a difference OF
Ten Dollars in cost, and we spare
no expense in the construction OF the
wheels for our wagons. for we be-
lieve the wheels to be the foundation
Of a wagon. In the painting alone
a vast difference may exist, and
we defy anyone to produce a better
quality of paint than we use. Elk
anime our tell-tale wage list and you
will find In our employ the best
skill that good wages can procure.
Consider all these points and you
will have answered in your own
mind why the Cooper commands g
higher price than other vehicles
Because the name Cooper on q
wagon Is 4 guarant tee OF quality, and
behind 1t stands the exp erience of al
most 70 years of vehicle building.
We have q capital tied up In material
In process of seasoning from five to
seven years, while other manufac-
turers purchase green tree In the
spring and by fall have it made into
a wagon: standing In some dehlers
