TROUP BROS' PIANO STORES

Make another of their great and unusual Piano sales on a new
plan. Read how it is done:
By reason of the fact that a large number of the biggest
and most reliable piano manutacturers of the United States
have, for this year, concentrated their advertising efforts in one
direction, and, after due consideration, have adopted The As
sociate Advertising Company plan of direct dealing for cash
(or its equivalent), instead of immenss sums of money spent in
very expensive magazine advertising. The Associate Advertis
ing Company diverts so much money on the purchase price of
each piano, and the coupon issued by them will be honored by
the Reliable Troup Bros'. Piano Stores on presentation, wheth
er a cash or time purchase, if presented on or before February
1,1909. , . . 7
This plan of the Great Chicago Advertising Company is only
given to large and reliable. dealers who can guarantee so many
sales and Troup Bros', was the firm selected for this territory.
How well they will carry out their part of the contract you are
all informed.

goods and prices than ever before. These prices will not last

Do The Best You Can.
Do the best you can at all times!
That should be the motto of every
young roan who possesses ambi
tion, and the desire to make a
name for himself in the world of
business. If he does that at all
times, he has put his foot on the
first rung of the ladder that leads
to promotion, and not before that
time can he fairly say that he
has begun to climb upward. Do
ing work in a half hearted manner
puts a decided handicap on the
youug man's future, for the
moment that he regards his work
as a grind he is beginning to walk
on thin ice that will precipitate
him into dismissal Iroai the ser
vice of the firm for whom he is
working; in truth, he places an
obstacle in his path that cannot
be surmounted.
The difference between doing
the best you can and performing
your duties in a half hearted man
ner is easily seen, for the latter
way of working cannot be dis
guised, as it has a false note that
can be distinguished by the em
ployer. The young man must
make up his mind to give his en
tire attention to his work, and
not let it waver at any moment
of the day, if be hopes to better
his condition in the form of pro
motion. He must make it a point
to do the best that he can, wheth
er the "old man," as many young
men term their employers, is
there or not, for the "old man"
has been through the mill, as it
were, and he can easily tell wbeth
er all his employees are doing
their best work or not.' He can
not be fooled very long.
