It’s Purely a Matter of Figures 
and Figures Never Lie 
STATISTICIANS GIVE US THE FACT that the «retail Furniture Business is the most expensive. We 
shall append some figures below to illustrate their theory while we first draw to your attention a few 
facts as comparisons with other kinds of business. 
Take the matter of floor space; think how much room the furniture business requires, no line of 
goods in existence demands so much floor space as does this and what does floor space mean but Rent, 
Rent, Rent, someone has to pay it; think who that some one really is. 
Show space requires Light, and light is expensive, and every retail establishment in existence is 
obliged, because of location and long hours to use lots of this. 
In no line of goods that is retailed do people want to see a larger variety to select from, because 
when they buy a piece of furniture they have bought it for years and they want it to be satisfactory in 
style and design. When they are making their purchase, thus a big stock must always be carried for 
you to buy from, perhaps one purchase in a year, which means more goods to be shown for the amount 
of business done, which makes very much bigger Taxes than on other lines of goods Retailed. 
The Item of Help Hire 
Is out of all proportion to other kinds of retail business. From the salespeople who demand the high- 
est wages paid in any retail business down to the people who make the deliveries, they all get better pay. 
Every item that. can be mentioned works out exactly the same way, to prove that the Retail Furniture 
Business is a very expensive proposition that you, the public, pay for. 
Now see the comparison of figures—based upon the same volume of business we certainly expect will 
be done here and from experience thus far our first year’s business over here will be larger than any 
one year when in the retail—between our cost of doing business here and when in the Retail Business.

Just think of the saving on four items alone and they are by no means all the expenses that the busi- 
ness has to incur. Now who pays these expenses, the dealer or you? You know, of course, well enough 
it comes out of you. Now this saving that we make comes right off of our prices, and later on, when we 
acquaint you all fully with the practical side of this plan, we shall commence giving you concrete examples 
of the savings on different pieces of furniture over here. 
Now all that you do to save yourselves money is to come to our Warehouse, which is only just away 
from the centre, where conditions are absolutely perfect for our operating our business economically so
