LOCAL CHURCH
HAS CANT A|CN

A campaign for funds with which to
build a new church building has been
started by the First Christian church.
1t is expected and planned. as we'll as
confidently hoped that $4,000 Will be
raised in the next ten days.
Dr. Louis Dysart is at the head of
the campaign committee which is COM
posed of fifty or more members of the
church.
Following is a copy of the letter
which is being sent out in an effort to
raise funds:
you would not live in community
without the church-its refining and
protecting influences have a value in
estimable-not only to the community
at large, but also to you individually.
GAS recipient of such influences and
as a public spirited citizen, interested
in everything which makes for the
betterment of human kind address
you in behalf of the First Christian
church of this city.
In the past few years our member
ship has grown to over 500 with Sun
day school enrolment in all depart
ments to near 700. 1t takes a very
tangible part in the civil, religious
and commercial life of the city; it
therefore becomes obligatory that this
church enter into a building campaign
as the present church building is

viii brought out TIE idea several
Years. ago at the convention of the
national convention of Piano Manu-
faeturers of America, that the only
way to meet the unfair mail order
competition was to cut down the
overhead expenses and go right after
the business in all sections of the
country. Mr.. Redewill stated yester-
day the mail order houses DO not
carry high grade goods at cut-rate
prices, and. in fact, most of their
goods ale made 20 their order under
special trade name which is neither
high-grade nor first class. Further
more, that the low selling cost which
they advertise is grossly misrepre-
sented. because the risk they run in
selling goods at long range coupled
with tremendous magazine and illus
trated aolored plate advertising ex-
penses. brings their overhead much
greater than most average dealers.
As farewell to local business cir
cles, Eugene and Victor Redewill are
putting on a dissolution piano sale
for the RedeWill Music company, i'm
mediately after which they will COM
rlete their settlement with the old
company and leave for their starting
point at Yuma to which point they
now have a couple of carloads OF
pianos Ell route.

to this would be that the crop should
not be planted until about the middle
Of July and there woulG be no re-

probably the greatest returns from
the land would be u plant it immedi

from the roots there will come an

The millets are catch crop which

that the greatest returns from the

NEW PLAN For
PIANO SELLING

new piano company has entered
the field under the name of the Arr
iona Piano company, to be operated
under the sole management of Eugene
and Victor Redevill. For severai
weeks plans have been under way by
which the new company will inaugu-
rate an innovation in the piano sell
ing game.
The Arizona Piano company will
operate in all of the principal cities
as well as sparsely settled parts OF
Arizona. New Mexico and Southern
Callft rnia. It's method is strictly
original with Eugene Redewiil, and
looks most feasible at the outset The
main idea is to do carload piano
business, and keep the overhead en-
penses down to a minimum. Tho
largest items of saving VIII be o.:
store rent, pamphlet, catalogue and
magazine advertising, delivery ex-
penses, clerical force, idle stock and
unnecessary salesmen.
Victor Redewil will operate the
whole affair. The two brothers, in
selling cut their large interests in
the Redewill Music company, will
have ample capital to carry on quite
an extensive business, but this will
Only be a near goal. according to
