Know What Your Dealer Pays 
'T^HIS book tells pretty nearly what your dealer pays for everything. It 
-*■ quotes wholesale prices on 70,000 articles, and shows pictures of 17,000 
of them. It includes practically everything that anybody uses, wears or 
eats; and its prices are the lowest ever quoted. It will save the average 
family at least $100.00 per year—some $500.00. Two million people send 
for this book yearly as a buying guide, and we want you to have one, too.

and safe delivery. Every article in our cata¬ 
logue is described exactly as it is. Not the 
slightest exaggeration is ever permitted. But if anything you get doesn't suit you in quality, or price, 
or fit, send it back and we will replace it. Or we will send your money back, and pay transportation 
both ways. We consider no expense or effort too great to avoid having one dissatisfied customer. 
TuuA ThflU^NNfl III OnP 1 ^ WO average dealers together will not buy so much in a year as we. The makers who 
I IIW I IIUU9QIIU VlUl CO III UIIC sell to us have no traveling expense, no credit risk, no losses, no salesmen to pay. They save the 
whole cost of selling the same goods to 2,000 separate stores, scattered everywhere. The fiercest competition in America centers in the effort to get our 
trade. The prices we pay are never much above cost; and goods that we cannot buy low enough are made in factories of our own. Is it any wonder that 
we can sell for about what common dealers pay? We get along with a fraction of the profit charged by stores. We have no salesmen—no selling expense 
save our catalogue. A dealer must make several times as much on each article to pay his expenses and live. Our expense is but a small percentage when 
spread over sales that amount to millions of dollars annually.

We simply combine the buying and selling of two thousand average stores. We save the 
wasteful methods that cost more than the merchandise, and we give the saving to you. This 
is the modern method of business, and the buying of the 20th century will be done more and 
more by mail? In this way we are now saving our customers from four to five million dollars 
annually. You will become one of those customers when you see this book. 
Send Only 15 Gents
