O QUESTION p
It has Iwcn asked us scvcrnl times,
"How can you nlTbrd to give away
beautiful $300 Upton Parlor Grand
Piano, as you advertise you will do?"
OUR ANSWER.
We prefer to sell too artlclr at a profit of 10 cents
each, rather than to articles at a profit of one dollar each.
It means just ninety more jcoplc patronizing our more.
Thvonly reason for our being in business Is to do business.
This menus that we 'must bring the people to our Mare.
Low prices nnd good values will bring us cuilouicrs always.
Our giving away of this piano is simply to.bring additional
business to our store and it is dofug it, every day. It pays
you and us.
