Chicago House Wrecking Co. 
Now operated under the name of 
HARRIS BROTHERS COMPANY 
F OR twenty sears the CHICAGO HOUSE WRECKING 
COMPANY has been well and favorably known to the 
public. During all these years the four Harris 
Brothers have been the executive officers and owners 
and for that reason have finally decided to operate under 
the name of HARRIS BROTHERS COMPANY. 
There is no change in our business, except that in the 
future the four Harris Brothers will advertise and sell 
their goods, heretofore advertised and sold under the 
name of the CHICAGO HOUSE WRECKING COM PAN Y. 
under the new name of HARRIS BROTHERS COMPANY. 
Why We are Called the Great Price Wreckers 
Consider what becomes of the stock of goods, when a 
manufacturer or big retail merchant goes bankrupt or 
''busted" as the saying goes. It is estimated that about ten 
thousand merchants annually meet with business disaster 
—this is why our company exists. If the stocks are suffi¬ 
ciently iargo and the goods are new and desirable, they 
find their natural way to our great forty acre plant for 
distribution at a small added profit, to our thousands of 
customers, who in this way get the benefit of wonderful 
bargains. In many cases our prices do not even represent 
the original cost of production. We stand foremost in our 
line. Wo recognize no competition. That’s why wo are 
called "THE GREAT PRICE WRECKERS." 
Our Binding Guarantee

bility to the publisher of this or any other publication or 
any bank or express company and to the public at large.

you can buy from us to a decided advantage. The quioker 
you learn to recognize this fact, the sooner you will be
