P.OOa VANiroa YCAJ HAVE rJTUN A WIN ' ' Unfortunately (for themselves as well as the public), there are business men who believe that they can best succeed by, "doing?, their customers who think "that the best only method of making money is by' extracting it from those who have made it, through sharp 'practice and deception rather than by serving the public on a mutually profitable basis, in such a manner that both : parties to the .transaction will make money. .Fortunately (for himself arid the public), there is another, type of businessjman Avhohasdemonstrated tohis owaatisfactipnthat-he-can best sue eed,-can noake more'moneyrbyHserving-the public-on-m capital to invest with him, and both parties to the transaction make additional profits, and the beauty of it is that nobody, loses. High-class real estate men who have learned this lesson thoroughly are accumulating -fortunes, ap " idly. This latter type of business man best measures up to our, conception of success, and we did not engage in business contemplating failure,' therefore you will understand that when we assert that we'leel absolutely sure that we have. saved the furniture-buying public over $25,000 .we are not posing' as philanthropists sail under false colors, nor do we consider the public silly enough to believe us should we claim to be in business solely for their good, i Fortunately (for the public as well as ourselves); we entered the furniture business on a newer, a more economic footing." Others paid , enormous , rents, which necessarily had to be added to the cost ofurniture; or, if they owned their own building, it was extremely valuable, high-priced real estate, consequently, interest on the investment was equivalent to excessive rent. On the other hand, we had erected a FOUR-STORY building on the East Side, where property, is so much Cheaper, and' had leased one half our building to others, thereby acquiring sufficient income to cover interest and taxes on the whole investment ; This'enabled us to sell furniture 25 per cent lower than' West Side merchants could possibly sell it, and to make just as' much money. The question naturally .arose, Shall we give the public the, benefit of this 25 per cent saving .? Can we do "so and make as much money as if we sold as others sell and profit by this big saving ourselves? We decided that, if we gave the buying public this benefit, we would, through increased volume of ttade, make more money,' and our wonderful success has demonstrated the soundness of our judgment. Thus we have made good money, while our customers have saved big money r They-continue to buy from ' US CII1U- IU DtllVJ 1.11 VI J.
