JUST TxlINK OF II!
A Four Hundred Dollar riano
Absolutely Given Away!
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.
