INTRODUCING 

 GOOD FURNITURE 

 TO A CONTINENT. 



AN ANNOUNCEMENT 

 WORTH ^17.50 OR MORE 

 TO EVERY PERSON 

 WHO ACTS UPON IT. 



This is the day of big things, done quickly. 

 Men no longer wait on the slow process of 

 time. This advertisement speaks to other 

 millions while you are reading it. 



Ten years ago a man who imported much 

 fine foreign furniture for his fellow Americans 

 decided to make American furniture the 

 standard of the world. 



This man has doubled his facilities over and 

 over again, until he now has the largest and 

 most perfect workshops of their kind in the 

 world — making COWAN CABINET 

 WORK — and yet he is not supplying one- 

 tenth of the demand which will arise when all 

 the people know about Cowan furniture. 



He is planning to double his workshops 

 again and again. The old way would have 

 been to advertise conservatively and wait years. 

 The modern way is The Cowan Special 

 Offer, to Induce Immediate Acquaintance 

 with Cowan Furniture. 



The Special Offer for September isthe Cowan 

 Colonial Four Poster Bed (the famous old 

 pineapple pattern shown herewith) on which 

 we offer you a saving of $17.50 on the single, 

 or S27.50 on the double size. This offer 

 holds good for the month of September only. 



The beds are shown in our own retail store 

 in Chicago, and by all of the stores throughout 

 the country where Cowan furniture is sold. If 

 you do not know the nearest Cowan agency, 

 the name will be furnished upon request, or 

 you may order the beds by mail direct from 

 the Cowan shops. 



There is only one Cowan quality. You can 

 buy other four post beds of similar appearance 

 at our reduced price or near it, but do not do so 

 expecting to get Cowan quality. You will be 

 disappointed. These beds no doubt are worth 

 what is asked for them. The whole point of 

 our special offers is that whatever we offer will 

 be worth much more than the price at which 

 we offer it temporarily. 



Hundreds of Cowan beds of this famous old 

 pattern are now in the finest American homes, 

 and they have been sold uniformly heretofore 

 atgSS.OO for the single, and S65.00 for the 

 double size. They cannot be sold for less, at 

 a profit, and will not be sold for less after 

 September 30th. 



During September we offer them for ^37.50 

 in either single or double size. 



The beds are of the very finest of selected solid 

 mahogany, each board selected for its beauty 

 of grain and texture. The posts are hand 

 carved and the head board xs five-ply mahogany, 

 veneered upon solid mahogany, to prevent 

 warping. 



We sell our special offerings to our agents at 

 less than our shop cost to enable them to fulfill 

 the terms of this offer. We make the same 

 offer through our retail store and by mail, F. O. B. 

 Chicago, to make the opportunity nation-wide. 



We make these offers solely to stimulate 

 your first interest in Cowan furniture. Once 

 interested, we know you will do as hundreds 

 of others have done — furnish your home 

 entirely with it — all at once if you can — piece 

 by piece if you must. 



There is no other furniture like it, and no other 

 ^w^furniture made in a sufficient number of patterns 

 so that a home may be furnished entirely with it. 



The Cowan line now numbers more than a 

 thousand patterns, all in mahogany or Circassian 

 walnut, reproduced from the masterpieces of 

 historic design — Sheraton, Chippendale, Heppel- 

 white, Adam, American Colonial, etc. 



You can take advantage of the September 

 special offer only in September. Call upon our 

 nearest agent if you know him, or write to us at 

 once for information. Dresser, dre.ssing table, 

 chiffonier, costumer, commode and cheval glass 

 to match can be had if desired.
