Th.it advertising is now a science is : again dem?nstr*>t<d practically to tlu-^ buyin.j j ul lie 'f this scetirn by the' wond? rful advertising syst- in now employed by the enterprising business house of McElhaney & Co., who are going to give away ABSOLUTELY FREE to some one of their customers on August 1 the beautiful CLAXTON PARLOR GRAND PIANO which is now on exhibition at their store. The Claxton sells for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS and is a* HIGH CLASS instrurmnt in every respect, GUARANTEED by the makers for TEN YEARS. JUST THINK OF IT1 A Four hundred Dollar Piano to be GIVEN AWAY! A few years ago. if a merchant was to do such a thing he would be considered a fit subject for an asylum, but conditions have changed, yet in the face of the enormous sum spent in advertising the fact of McElhaney & Co. giving away a $104) Piano is a stupendous un dertaking and it clearly demonstrates j their desire to be "always up to and a ! little ahead" of the spirit of the times. Every purchaser of $1.00 worth of goods from any department of their store will receive a coupon good for 100 votes on the Piano. The person presenting the largest number of votes to them on August 1 will receive the Eiano absolutely free. No favors will e shown and every person will be given an equal chance. The reputation enjoyed by McKlhaney & Co. for "square dealing" insures this fact. We think the buying people will appreciate this extremely liberal offer on the part of McElhaney & Co. and we predict a lively scramble for votes. Adv. 4 4 ? FREE VOTE COUPON.
