The manner of lighting and vent |

portant, in the opinion of Mr. Harris |
Too much glass in a poultry house |
raises the temperature in the day and |
permits rapid radiation at night. The
resulting wide variation of day and
night temperatures is always injurious
to the health of the fowls.
Probably the best means of providing
adequate light and ventilation is t¢
have two windows in the south side of
the building with a cloth curtain be

curtain is closed, the windows will pro
vide sufficient light and the curtains
will allow sufficient ventilation without

A MESSAGE T0 THE PUBL
Read Every Word That Follows and Then
Act As Your Own Judgement Dictates
Why Should You be Kept in the Dark? Why Not Out With the Facts
So That Everyone May Know What Is Ahead and Prepare
For What Is To Come
We Are On The Verge of An Enormous Increase
In The Cost of Furniture and Carpets
SO
I
\
Here Are The Facts--We Do Not Mask The Truth:
we were not as strong financially as we are and as foresighted
F
| did we not have the big Furniture Trade all over the county
that we have, we would be in the same boat as all the other Furniture
Dealers in town. '
You know, everybody hereabouts knows, that even under ordinary
circumstances, our prices are about twenty-five per cent. lower
than every other Furniture Dealer in this city and county.
They are all installment dealers doing a little cash business on
the side. We buy and sell for cash or on a monthly charge account
which is the sale as cash.
Our three great floors on which there is twice the selling space
of the largest Furniture Store in Town, costs us practically no rent
because the first and second floors of our store are the valuable ones
and pay the rent of the whole building.
WE know that we are going to have the greatest sale in the history
of this store. We know that it doesn’t take much advertising
to sell something for Six Dollars that can’t be bought elsewhere at
ten. Manufacturers have warned us that we cannot duplicate any of
our orders and have told us straight to our face that we were fools to
sell Furniture and Carpets at the old prices when we could add a
third more to them and still undersell every one in Lancaster.
But this is how we look at it. We feel that by acting on the
principle that “one good turn deserves another” we will gain tre-
mendously in the good will of the public and that in the end our pro-
fit will be greater by having made thousands of new loyal customers
for Donovan’s.
T HE old prices that you were accustomed to pay for Furniture
and Bedding, for Rugs and Carpets will soon be a thing of the
past. Already the wholesale prices are such that not in this genera-
tion will it be possible for you to buy again at the old figures. Manu-
facturers do not know where the end is in sight. Lumber is higher
in price, wages have increased, the cost of iron and steel has doubled,
everything has gone up! Even yournewspaper that during your life-
time was one cent, is now two cents and is likely to remain indefinate-
ly at two cents, no matter whether the warring nations continue to
fight or make peace tomorrow. }
Y OU’VE already had a sample of jwhat’s coming, but it’s only a
sample and the wise man that i§ forewarned will be forearmed.
