Why We Are Called the “Price Wreckers” 
C ONSIDER what becomes of the stock of goods when 
a manufacturer, jobDer or big retail merchant 
goes bankrupt, or “busted” as the saying goes. In 
the year 1911 ten thousand merchants met with 
financial distress—that’s why the Chicago House Wreck¬ 
ing Co. exists. If the stocks offered are sufficiently large, 
if the goods are new, clean and desirable, they find their 
way naturally to our 40 acre plant for distribution, at a 
small added profit to our hundreds of thousands of custo¬ 
mers, who, in this way get wonderful bargains. 
In many cases our prices do not represent the original 
cost of production. There is not another concern on earth 
that can meet our prices, simply because no other con¬ 
cern has the buying and economical distributing facili¬ 
ties which we enjoy. It is only natural therefore, that 
wo have become known as “Price Wreckers”, 
Where Your Dollar Does Double Duty 
Every time you buy from us, your dollar takes ou au 
increased purchasing power. We are the safety valve 
between the public and high prices. We recognize no 
Trusts or Associations—our methods are along original and 
unique lines. We are not plodders—we are merchants In 
the fullest meaning of the word, and the wise public have 
not been slow in realizing our position in the world. 
Our great plant at 35tn and Iron Sts. is a Mecca for 
the people of Chicago and surrounding country. Thou¬ 
sands of visitors from every part of the country make a 
yearly pilgrimage to our institution, and buy their yearly

from this excellent opportunity? We urge you to learn 
more about the wonders of our plant, and the opportuni¬ 
ties that we afford when you deal with us. You get full 
value for your money. There is nothing fanciful about 
our methods—we are just straight, clean business men.
