Journal Want Ads Pay Herb Freeburg, Owner From MEMO TO ALL FAMILIES IN THE PLATTSMOUTH AREA Today, your local Gamble store joins 2200 other Gamble stores across the country in launching our 35-Trainload Royal Deluxe Food Freezer Purchase a merchandising milestone of such importance that I am taking this unusual means of telling you about it. ' -- For some time we have wanted to make available to our friends and customers a really great food freezer value. We set the wheels in motion months ago designing the Royal Deluxe 15 cubic foot freezer. Despite its low price, it has all of the deluxe features and is not a stripped down economy freezer not a discontinued or old model. It is manufactured by the world's largest freezer producer, using new dies and top quality materials supplied by famous companies like General Electric, Dupont and U. S. Steel. In fact, we compared it side by side with six top brand freezers selling at as much as $120 more. Feature by feature, it is equal or superior to any of them. Very likely, you are wondering "how can Gambles sell the Royal Deluxe for so much less?" Here are some of the factors that make it possible: Tremendous buying power. It just couldn't be done on an ordinary purchase of iooor tren 1,000 units. We ordered 5 trahiloads (each train zo to 2 cars long) of one model. Consequently, our manufacturer could make huge savings in production costs. Lowered distribution costs. We are eliminating about jo of our normal expense in bringing this freezer to you. We cut out warehousing costs, because these freezers are shipped from the factory direct. We are sending them out in carloads to your town or near your town. In fact, most customers will take delivery direct from the freight car, eliminating expense of delivery, store handling, uncrating and other overhead, such as inventory insurance. Now, here's the big news you have been waiting for. As a result of tremendous buying power and lowered distribution costs, we are offering the Royal Deluxe 15 cubic foot freezer ju the unprecedented low price of 199.QS during this 35-Trainload Event. During our 35 years in merchandising, we have never seen an appliance value to equal it. Remember, you could pay as high as $319-95 and still not get all the fine features of this freezer. ' When we planned this great event, I was determined that despite the low price, we would offer you our regular liberal credit terms of only $5 down. And our stores will take anything with resale value that you may wish to use in trade. An item in your home that you no longer have use for and wish to sell, may well serve as the down payment. -- You'll love the freezer way of living. It saves time and wo-k for mother, makes fewer shopping trips necessary, cuts food hills, and permits the whole family to enjoy a greater variety of tastier, more healthful foods all year around. Certainly, there is no other item of household equipment that pays for itself so quickly. May I ask you to do one thing? Take your family down to the Gamble store this week and examine the Royal Deluxe freezer. Compare our $199.95 price, and com pare quality with other freezers on the market. The facts are there for all to see. Only after you examine them for yourself will you realize what a tremendous opportunity for saving Gambles are offering you. Thank you for j our interest.
