TITUS & CO.,---SALEM 
Enter an Old Business in an Entirely 
New Way—New to Salem and Hereabouts, 
New to the Country at Large, But— 
JUST AS SURE TO DEVELOP into a tremendous industry as has the 
mail order business developed in the last few years, for it is based upon 
the most practical ideas that any thought could suggest, that is, the gath- 
ering together of merchandise at the very first cost and distributing it 
to the public through the least possible expense. It will incorporate all 
the advantages that are real that the ordinary distributor, commonly called 
the retailer, has ever been able to offer, eliminating in its entirety all the 
disadvantages to the consumers that a retail business has had to impose. 
High Rents, Big Interest on large Real Estate Investments, expensive help 
hire, electric lighting, double handling and carting of goods, exhaustive 
advertising, and the hundred and one items that have to enter into a re- 
tailer’s expenses and added to the selling price for the public to pay,—all 
these will be eliminated in this new industry we are to enter. While the 
experience that is necessary to learn the people’s wants, gained only 
through having come directly in contact with them through a retailer’s 
way, is given to this enterprise at its very offset. We shall be recog- 
nized by the manufactures as wholesalers and jobbers and gain big ad- 
vantages thereby in the purchasing of goods. This enterprise is unique 
in as much as it is a pioneer enterprise which has been accepted and en- 
dorsed by every person whom we first acquainted with it; from banker 
to manufacturer, professional man to day worker, all have seen the fine 
side of it the minute we’ve explained it. 
We Now Enter 
The Wholesale Furniture and Rug 
Business, Selling the Community at Retail, at Wholesale Price 
ON SATURDAY, NOV. 7th., we open our large Warehouse, which 
is owned by ourselves, situated in a district where land values and cheap 
rents prevail, where all expenses can be reduced to the very lowest level 
to enable us to sell goods at the wholesaler’s profit, with a stock of new 
goods from all the Country’s best factories—the very same Class of 
goods our name has always stood for, and invite you to come over and 
make a careful inspection and see Prices you can buy goods for now, no 
|| consumer ever saw before.
