AN OPEN LETTER
This Is Also a Paid Advertisement
RIGHT OR WRONG
We do not believe -a whole lot in expending much money for newspaper advertising so that we are
' thereby compelled to ask increased prices for our goods. However, we do, just occasionally like to let
EVERYONE know that this store is now as always selling furniture and other housefurnish at lower
prices than most other stores.
OUR WAY—
We do a large business under an economical expense system which enables us to quote the lowest
possible prices on EVERYTHING. Our prices are uniformly low on all our goods. Our stock is one of
the largest and most complete in the city.
%
Our customers will tell you that this store is not only one of the largest, but the best store in which
to purchase their home needs. In fact, our customers really prove to be our advertisers and they
have done it very well indeed. We believe thoroughly in a business system that will convince the cus
tomer that what he purchases here is at least just a little better for the same money, or as good for less
money than he can obtain it for elsewhere.
*
This is the system which has built up our business to its present large proportions and is still doing
good work for us. We try our best to give our customers the most for their money and our experience
has been that the customer can always be depended upon to return the favor in some good way.
REMEMBER THAT—
You may not see our advertisement in the newspapers very often, but we ask you to chalk this down:
When you want to buy good furniture at the way-down price, this is the store that is sure to be there
with the goods you may want and with the price that will suit.
A JITNEY WILL LET YOU OPF RIGHT AT OUR DOOR.

to Panama Pacific Exposition Also
Is Killed —Lawmakers Are Influ
enced by the Cost
The Beidleman bill creating a a tat*
bureau of elevator inspection, with jur
isdiction in all but first and second class
cities, was dropped from the calendar
in the House of Representatives last
night by a vote of 112 to 49. It was
said the bill would cost the state $75,-
000 and the measure was attacked on
l that score.
The Daix bill providing for a trip
to the Panama-Pacific Exposition by
the Second Regiment, National Guard,

bill because it allowed officers their per

Resolution proposing constitutional
amendment to abolish poll tax.

ments on damages caused) by taking
