Mcxiern Merchandising 
Have you ever stopped to think about the question of getting your household supplies to the best advantage? Are 
you perfectly satisfied with the way things are running—with the prices you pay, the quality of the goods, the range 
of selection and the general question of making both ends meet? Perhaps you buy your supplies from the cross-roads 
store, just because your grandfather did. Perhaps you are tied up to the general store because you can trade in your 
butter and eggs at a low price and take it out in trade at a high price. Possibly you have never thought about it one 
way or the other. It is time to think. You have got to live and support your family. Your income is limited 
to so many dollars per year, and you have got to figure out the expense account so that things will come out right 
at the end of the year. If you can make both ends meet nicely and lay aside a tidy sum for a rainy day, you 
are only doing what every head of a family should endeavor to do, and if you don’t do it you are simply inviting 
misery for the next time the crop fails. If a dollar looks as big to you as we think it does, we want you to think 
over this question of modern merchandising and see just what it means. It means different things to different people. 
To some it means buying everything on credit, then mortgaging the farm when settlement day comes around. Others think cheap gwds the 
pathway to economy—the cheap, worthless trash that is advertised so brazenly at “ the lowest price on earth.” Many pewe send oft to the 
city and get a jack knife at a 25 cents saving, and then fall back into the old rut in buying the balance of their supplies. Our idea of modern 
merchandising is to supply all your wants—everything you eat, wear or use—for yourself, your family and the hired rnan, at an average saving 
of 15 to 40 per cent, which means that if your yearly purchases amount to $200, you can save something like $50; or $100 it it rosts you 
$400 a year to live. Are you so well off that $100, or even $50 does not interest you? Then again, consider the advantages. Absolutely 
reliable merchandise of the very best quality, and an unlimited range of selection. New goods. Prompt service. Prices that spell econ^y. 
and the certain knowledge that absolute satisfaction is the keynote to every transaction. To make trading with Possible, we issue a rata- 
logueof 1128 pages, in which almost everything imaginable, including Vehicles and Farm Implements, Is illustrated, described Pj^*; ; 
This catalogue can be absolutely depended upon and enables you to select your entire bill of merchandise without hurry or confusion and 
wilh “e that everything will be found exactly as described or you need not keep it. We ask you to get out of your present rut and 
give our methods a trial. We satisfy others and will satisfy you. There never was a better time than right now to begin, for we have Just 
issued a new catalogue full of the things you will need to see you through this winter, and you c^ make no better investment tMn to *>“ out 
this coupon and send It to us now while the subject is in your mind. We ask 15 cents, merely as an evidence of good faith on your part. 
If you will risk 15 cents, we will risk sending you a catalogue that costs us 
over half a dollar to print and is so big that it requires 26 cents postage. - —— 
It is our 76 cents against your 15 cents. Will you do it? Write today. 
Lavintf in Supplies: Living from hand to mouth is oneway of living, but why not get your supplies on a wholesale ^fsis^d avoid the 
petty annoyances of retail buying, to say nothing of making four dollars go as far as five dollars used to- That s the '* 5 ' vpu see hanging 
onthewall. Supplied with loops to hang up with, A postal will bring it. Nothing like groceries for a foundation fora 100-lb. freight shipment.
