THE WHY OF IT
t was our good fortune to make an extraordinary
good buy in several second hand sewing machines.
A $55.00 WHITE FOR $30.00
This machine was bought in this city four months
ago for $55 cash. It is. a drop head, six drawers,
rotary, handsome cabinet, complete, just as good
as the day it left the factory. $30 cash takes it, or
$35 on installments of $5 per month.
A $65 SINGER FOR $25.
Five drawers, drop head with exception of a
few scratches on case, in the best of condition.
$25 CASH; $30 ON INSTALLMENTS.
If you want a machine just as good as new for
half the selling price, I want you to call and see
these machines. I personally guarantee them for
three years.
I have other bargains, and a few as low as $5, as
good as second hand machnes offered for $10.00.
You cannot appreciate these bargains unless you
call and personally inspect them.
