Also a bona fide Credit Order of eo,ual amount to each one, good toward purchase on any new Piano in our store. n S SEVERAL REASONS WHY THE CREDIT ORDERS ISSUED BY OUR COMPANY ARE AS GOOD AS GOLD FIRST Both manufacturers and dealers spend enormous sums of money in newspaper, magazine and other advertising. For instance, a half -page advertisement in a daily pnper will cost several hundred dol lars: in a popular magazine probably one thousand dollars. In fact, a short time ago one concern paid $1800.00 for a single double-page advertisement in four colors, in one issue of a popular magazine. So it can readily be seen how the cost of maintaining advertising for months at a time runs in fabulous sums, and why this offer can read ily be made to the publre." The manufacturers and dealers, combined, are satisfied that, using the same amount of mpney that others put in maaine and other expensive advertising, aud distributing this cost in The form of Purchasing Orders among a few prospective piano pur chasers, not only wilr we be benefited by direct results, bat the customer is also benefited by this large saving which-would otherwise be paid for advertising. SECOND Using the old-style selling methods, a large force of outside solicitors are employed and large amounts paid in commission to teachers, agents, etc. Also, instead of employing lo or 20 salesmen at an expense of possibly two or three thousand dollars per month, we only employ two or three salesmen, as we depend entirely upon customers coming to our store. We have thus been trying the experi ment of dividing the savings we effect among purchasers of our pianos. We also save you the dealer's profit. We sell only direct from factor to home. THIRD We invite you to come and test our every statement, as to the savings we claim. Come on a tour of inspection even if only out of curiosity and you will find yourself well repaid for your time and trouble in proving our claim to he absolutely true. We ask you, in justice to us and to yourselves, to test the selling methods and val ues that may be obtained in our store. No matter what inducements and terms may have been offered to you elsewhere, no matter who tells you that our Credits are not beneficial, jnst remember, you have your own bills to pay, and "a dollar saved is a dollar earned," so come to us and see what your hard-earned dollars will buy where every unnecessary dollar is cut out of the selling expenses at this time, causing you a positive saving of at least one-third of your piano money.
