Wants to See You
Catalogue Houses up against it and
are sending out special prices in
special Books, which in most places
are higher than your home town.
They sit in the offices in Chicago and
print thousands of pages of lies and
send them out amongst the people who
read, believing them because they
don’t think they would dare print that
kind of stuff.
MATCHES.
It says: “Buy matches wholesale.
Case contains 6 dozen 6c Boxes
Matches, $3.24.”
There is no 6c Boxes of Matches
anywhere. They are the same
matches I sold 7 for 26c.
BROOMS.
Extra fancy Carpet brooms $3.95 to
$5.19 per dozen, 35 to 50c.
I can sell you the same brooms for
26 to 35c.
THREE REASONS WHY
you should trade with them.
First—“They are careful in selecting
their line of goods.” Yes. They are
careful to buy something cheaper than
any country stores would buy.
Second—“Their location means sav
ing in freight and time.”
They are located so far away that
it generally takes from a week to
fourteen days to get the stuff and the
freight the railroads charge on cat
alogue goods make trading with them
out of the question.
Third—“They guarantee a square

aeai.
They knew when a man orders
something and it takes so long to get
it that rather than spend six months
writing back and forth you would
rather keep it. They are ready to
guarantee you won’t send it back.
When you see big companies send
2,000 page books full of lies into your
home destroy them.
Its the catalogue houses aim to de
stroy the small towns which are their
worst competitiors.
One thing more which is a fact.
O’Neill is the best Market for anything
you have to sell in this county or any
county either, because you got govern
ment weights here on a city scales
which the city put in for the protection
of the farmers. What good does it do
if you get 10 or 16c more per cwt. if
you have a big shrink. If the O’Neill
buyers were making so much money
off the stuff why don’t some of these
other buyers come into O’Neill?
No, they won’t come to O’Neill as
long as the city scales are here. Bring
your stuff to O’Neill all the time. The
city scales will protect you. If those
other buyers want to give you more
make them come and buy over the
city scales and pay you your weights
and your measure.
Some day you will find out that
I am talking business and I know what
I am talking about. I can save you
money if you give me a chance.
