Why Wo Are Called the “Price Wreckers'* 
C ONSIDER what becomes of the stock of goods when 
a manufacturer, jobtier or big retail merchant 
goes bankrupt, or •’busted” as the saying goes. In 
the year 1911 ton 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 ho other con¬ 
cern has the buying and economical distributing facili¬ 
ties which we enjoy. It is only natural therefore, that 
we have become known as “Price Wreckers”.

Every time you buy from ns, your dollar takes on an 
increased purchasing power. We are the safety valve 
between the public and high prices. We recognize no

the people of Chicago and surrounding country. Thou¬ 
sands of visitors from every part of the country mako a 
yearly pilgrimage to our institution, and buy their yearly 
supplies. Are you getting all the benefit that you should 
from this excellent opportunity? Wo 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.
