Then we " opened our NEW FURNITURE STORE in the midst pf the panic, and pijr', friends extended their sympathy. What Reallv Happened Our No-Rent prices opened a' new era in the furniture market and customers flocked to. us from' the beginning, and our monthly sales have exceeded pur fondest hopes by thousands of dollars.

It was our good fortune to solve me pcm oi ui viwu, THEM RELIEF in a mutually profitable manner. To pay big rents and undersell others was impossible; to own our store would partially solve the problem, but not entirely, as merest ana taxes must be reckoned with. We purchased one-fourth of a city block on the.East Side, where business property is cheaper, and erected a large four-story building. We occupy one halt ot tms DuUd- . ing; the income from the other half covers the interest, taxes, etc.'. It puts us IN A CLASS ENTIRELY BY OURSELVES. We can maw egmmaiC pruuu. out of business because ' Whn a an oll rhn I hDnocr Others Pay Rent.

One customer even declared she believed she could have "THEM" arrested, etc.; but We Always Defend Our Competitors We seek to convince such customer s that the Furniture men possess as lofty ideals as any other class of business men, and that WEST SIDE DEALERS are merely victimsf conditions which necessitate charging high prices, and.IF WE WERE . IN THEIR POSITION WE COULD SELL NO CHEAPER "THAN THEY DO. For others to attempt to sell Furniture at our prices would be the height of follyTHEY WOULD SURELY GO BROKE and that is why it is Continually asserted by competitors that we will go broke in 30 days; that We AreQiving Away Furniture Over Here Of course, the difference in our, prices does' mke it seem like giving it away from their stand point.
