THINKING OF BUYING
A PIANO?
Here are a few points to bear in mind :
What is added up to make the price of the piano
you buy ? First is the manufacturer's price, or
wholesale price. Then the dealer's expense follows.
He carries only $5,000 of stock. Now he figures in-
terest on this amount at 6 per cent : he carries in-
surance which means another 6 per cent. The room
he occupies is rent to pay or money invested, add-
ing another 5 per cent. The man he has working
for him will mean at least 3 per cent—making a to-
tal of 20 per cent dealer's expense.
WHY NOT BUY FROM A LOCAL AGENT, di-
rect from the manufacturer, thereby SAVING this
20 PER CENT FOR YOURSELF.

Better cleaning
and more free time
Allow yourself more time for recreation by using a
Torrington Electric Vacuum Cleaner.
You are sure a Torrington Cleaner will do a perfect _~
job, because the TORRINGTON SPIRAL BRUSH
loosens the dirt and the suction gets it. The brush is
surrounded with suction, but revolves independent of the
motor. This brush loosens all the lint, while the suction
takes up the imbedded bits of dirt and trodden-in grit.
BIG BRUSH ~~ POWERFUL SUCTION
The brush operates fast or slow, because it is driven
by rubber-tired wheels Which are turned as the cleaner is
moved over the floor. It has no belts to slip or gears
to strip. . 7
The Torrington’ motor is a cool-running, compact
power plant, set low to go under furniture.
Its use of electricity is surprisingly small — only about
two cents worth a week, in the average home — and
reduces cleaning to a few minutes daily.
Think of it—YOUR HOME ENTIRELY SWEPT
—in a few minutes.
You can carry a Torrington upstairs or anywhere, be-
cause it is light and compact. You can buy one because
of the special ensy-payment plan.
