Suppose your best friend should call you up on the phone t^day, just after 



you tioished a mighty good dinner and had started in on your favorite cicar. 



Suppose he should say: "Hello, John, that you? Say, old man, I'm thinking 



of building. 



What builder do you think would give me the best advice right now, before 



thire is a dollar in sight? 



Now mind you, I don't want any of your wind jamming fellows, who have 



a wiy of raakiag a fellow feel that he ought to borrow, beg and steal all 



the money he can, and put it into a whale of a big house. 



Maybs 1 don't need another house any more than a cat does another tail. 

 Then again, maybj I do. 



I want sjme expert from one of the best Ijuilders to come and tell me the 

 honest-to-God truth. While he's here, want him to take a look at my heat- 

 ing. Miybe it's wrong. Maybe it isn't. I want to surely be sure. If it's 

 wrong, by the Jumping John Rogers, I want it made right. 

 In short, John, I want to talk to a man who knows something besides just 

 selling me a house. I want advice, Sound sensed advice. I'm looking for 

 a fellow whj will give me some such service. After he has given me that, 

 I'll sure as preaching buy what he honestly thinks I ought to have." 



Then yuu answer back: "Well, Bill, you kind of put me up against a hard 

 one, when you talk of that kind of service. Sometimes I think there isn't 

 aay such thing. Then I hear of another fellow who has had such satisfactory 

 dealings with the llitchings outfit; and 1 think of some more that I know of, 

 that have had the same kind of satisfaction, and I kind of come to the conclu- 

 sion that Hitchings are the people for you and me. 



I tell you. Bill, don't believe you can go wrong if you put your problems in 

 their hands. " 



And then you hang uo and sit down to finish smoking. 



And the next day Bill calls us up. And then— well, you know the rest. If 

 the kind of service Bill wants, is the kind you want, then have a notion we 

 can serve you. '
