Why Wa 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 tlioir 
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- 
corn has the buying and economical distributing facili¬ 
ties which we enjoy. It is only natural therefore, that 
we have become known as “Price Wreckers”.

ties that we afford when yon deal with us. You get full
