L A WlTTKOattKY, Nk Master for Met THE LATEST GREATEST ? - and UP-TO-DATIST system of advert ising adopted by the enterprising business manage-, meat of the well known establishment of The Gilt, Edge Store haw certainly causcd wide comment and considerable furore among the buying public of this section. When The Gilt Kdge Store first announced that they would give away absolutely Free the beautiful $300 Upton Parlor Grand Piano which is upon exhibition in their store, much curiosity was aroused as to HOW they could afford, from a business standpoint, to do such a tiling, but when it was learned that they would ^ivo ONE PIANO VOTE with every cent paid for any article in their store and ten piano votes with every cent paid for any purchaso from their New Jewelry Department, also that the Piano was to be given absolutely Free to the person presenting the greatest, number of these piano votes to them on February 1,1910, it looked like an extremely novel and most liberal advertising methpd. The earnestness with which our buying public have been "going after1' the piano votes more than makes good our prophesy that Would be a "merry strife. " This ijovel adver tising campaign, the ever increasing crowds, the" many splendid values which they are offering c'aily has made their name a household name and a mecca for the bargain lovers of this community. The Gilt Edge Store is to be congratulated upon the thoroughness of their business foresight and the citizens of Camden should feel thafc they* have all reason to bo proud c.f the fact of having an estab lishment conducted upon such liberal and true business principles, within our gales.
