ST. DETROIT. MICH. U. S. A. First of All — We Thank You We extend our very deep thanks to our many thousands of kind customers scattered all over the world. This message will go to every corner of the globe, for our catalogues go wherever the mails go, and wherever furniture is used you’ll find our furniture. We take this opportunity to thank the public in general for the great volume of orders that daily pour in to us. Your apprecia¬ tion of our great easy way to pay system and of our low prices has helped us make this grand success. During our twenty-five years of catering to the wants of the people, we have always endeavored to help you, to please you and to win your friendship. Friendship in business is an important thing. It’s the most valuable asset a concern like ours could have. It’s this way: If we please you and win your friendship, you’ll tell people about us and get them to order from us too, and then they’ll do the same thing, so that it forms an endless chain, business increases and from a small beginning we work up to enormous proportions. That’s just what we’ve done. And that’s why we thank you, because you’ve helped us build up this business until today it stands as a monument to you and to us—the largest and greatest home furnishing institution in all the world. Every Order You Send Has Personal Attention Ever since we started in business many years ago, we have given personal attention to every order and every letter that has come to us. And no matter how large our business becomes, we shall always be able to give your orders our personal care. We read every word you write us and attend to every request you make, however small. We give you the kind of service that you want and expect and ought to have. Everything comes out right; because we deal fair and square with you, answer your questions and treat you as a friend. And because we do this, and give genuine bargains, we have grown to be the greatest housefurnishers in the world, and are making hundreds of homes more happy, more comfortable and more worth living in, every day. It is your orders together with the hundreds of thousands of others we receive from the good common people in cities, towns and country that keep the wheels turning and the lights burning in our great factories. And it is to you that we owe our success—you whom we respect and want to help by giving easy credit. We Trust You — Privately Anything shown in this grand catalogue will be sent to you on credit—and you can have all the time you want to pay for what you buy. Our great easy-way-to-pay plan is different from any other credit system in existence. All the objectionable fea¬ tures, all the embarrassment that other credit houses impose have been eliminated so that our easy-way-to-pay plan is business-like, dignified, respectable and devoid of all com¬ plications. It’s all confidential too—just between you and us and no one else will know anything about your business. That’s the whole basis of our business—giving credit and trusting all the people—everybody, for handsome, durable and substantial home-furnishings. You can have whatever you want and need and have it now, when yen need it, and get the use of the goods to enjoy in your home while you are paying your bill. Your First Question Will Be “How can you afford to send goods out to any one on credit if you don’t know them ? ” Our answer is this: We have learned that people are honest and that fairness breeds fairness. When we do as we agree with you—and better, you’ll do as you agree with us. When we sell to you lower than will any one else, you’ll pay the small price that we ask. You may only pay a little each month, and take your time—but that makes it all the easier for you—and you will eventually pay all you owe. This is human nature. We have trusted people privately for twenty-five years, and we have proved that people in general are honest, when we are honest with them. If we were in any way unfair, our credit system would be a failure. People would not pay us if we did not act fair. We are compelled to give you the lowest factory prices —just as we agree— or you would say: “they were not fair with me, why should I be fair with them”. But nobody can say that. Our business, which is the biggest of its kind in the world, has grown to its present proportions by giving every customer a “square deal”; and then they pay us to keep their credit good, so they can buv from us again and again. / Six Hundred Thousand Comfort¬ able Homes have been furnished on our credit system, and thousands upon thousands of people have been made happy. It pays to have a comfortable, nicely furnished home because it keeps the father and husband at home evenings, and he enjoys himself and saves money besides. It makes the children grow up with happier thoughts and dispositions and gives the young folks a place in which to entertain their friends nicely without cost. Every Woman Deserves a Com¬ fortable Home The wife and mother should have everything comfortably furnished in her home because she spends her whole life there. Every man who has a wife owes his first duty to her to have the home as complete as he can help to make it, and every man with self-respect wants his home to be the best of any place he goes to. But it is hard to get what you want when you want it, if you have to pay out all cash for it at high prices—or even at low prices for slip-shod goods. To Us All Men are Equal — Your Credit is Good It doesn’t matter how little or how much you have, or how little you earn, we don’t even ask you to tell us about it, we trust one and all alike, but especially the great mass of common people whom we know to be honest and willing to pay even though they have very small means and work for daily wages. Many of our customers could pay all cash if they wanted to, but they like our credit plan because they can get more for their money and get all the things they want and need at once, and not have to wait and save to pay all cash, and don’t have to draw their money out of the bank, but can use their money for other purposes while paying us on the easiest terms ever offered. If you have money in the bank, leave it there and let it draw interest for you, and buy your goods on the easy-way-to-pay plan. It makes no difference whether you live within five miles of Detroit or five thousand miles away — you get the same low prices as if you walked into any one of the our big city stores and paid down all cash.

Wineman, president, people's Outfitting Company R EjLD What Happy People who know us say:— also Detroit Bank Officer’s letter on the inside of front cover That’s Why We Started in to Trust the Great Common People so they could have what they wanted—just as you can—now—when you want it. It’s the easiest way to save money. Order what you want and pay for it as you go along. A little each month will pay the bill and you won’t feel any strain at all because the payments are so small. You don’t want furniture in your home unless you know its good furniture, and our easy terms make it possible for you to have the best furniture in the world at the lowest prices—and you can pay for it according to your income. Everything about our method will please you—our liberality with our customers having won favor for us throughout the world. Our Combined Capital and Re¬ sources of Ten Million Dollars Our combined capital and resources of $10,000,000 is a positive guarantee to you of satisfaction when dealing with us, and in addition to our staunch reliability we send with every article or order our gold guarantee certificate which is backed up by $5,000 in gold deposited for our customer’s security in the First National Bank of Detroit, Michigan. We go to all this trouble just to inspire confidence in people who do not know us, and for further reference, we ask you to read the letter from the First National Bank of Detroit, printed on the inside of the front cover page of this book. Any newspaper or any magazine, as well as any bank or mercantile agency, will vouch for our high standing in the commercial world. Ill Thirty Days Free Trial — All Goods Shipped on Approval You risk nothing when you buy from us because you can have full 30 days to try the goods in your home to see if everything is right and satisfactory and pleasing to you. If you are not satisfied at the end of that time, we won’t ask you to keep the goods, but you can return them at our expense, with the understanding that we pay freight both ways and send back the money you sent us as first payment. This liberal offer shows how confident we are that'our goods will please you. Our furniture is the best that is made. If you want to know just how much difference there is then turn to page 2 of this book where it tells all about “Fashion” and “Art-style” furniture, and on page 3 you will see the diploma we got from the State of Michigan. Every article you see illustrated in our catalogue is made of durable, substantial, high grade material—and made by expert workmen and cabinet-makers who get high wages and work short hours. You know how it is when men get good pay, they do their best and see that everything is right and well finished, and as it should be to go into your home and be seen by friends and neigh¬ bors, who would know if anything is wrong, and say so. There May be Some Questions You Would Like to Ask of Us Please write to us today if there is anything about our system, if there is anything about the way to order,or anything about our prices or our goods that is not perfectly plain to you and easy to understand. We’ve tried in this book to make everything as clear as possible, nevertheless, we know that sometimes we don’t quite succeed in making ourselves understood. Now that’s our fault, not yours, and we are glad when you write and call our attention to it and ask us questions so that you can find out about the things you want to know, and so that we can tell you our side of the story. Whenever you see in any other catalogue a price on an article that is lower than the lowest priced article that we quote in the same line of goods, please write and tell us about it. Either the other catalogue is wrong, or ours is w rong. No other catalogue can possibly quote lower prices than this catalogue unless it’s an error in printing on one side or the other. Of course we refer only to eases where reliable goods are shown, and you must be careful to make allowances for instances where another concern has copied our pictures and our designs and maliciously, with bad intentions, offers inferior merchandise which is represented to be the same as our high grade “honor made” home furnishings.

Don’t take the other fellow’s word for it when we offer to “show you”, and let you try anything you want and need and pay us only a little first and the rest while you are using the goods in your home and proving that you got a “square deal”, and the “best for the money”, and can get more if you want it the same way.

We maintain this correspondence department for the sole purpose of answering and writing letters of this sort, and you need not feel that you will be bothering us if you write us a letter. We know that certain concerns ask you not to write them any letters, not to give them any bother, all they care for is your order and your money, but that isn’t the “People’s way.” We don’t ask any one to buy blindly or to take chances. Our business is too big and too old and too well organized for that. We are here to please you and to accommodate you, and only by pleas¬ ing you well do we hope to win and hold your patronage. You will like our methods of doing business, and you will like our mer¬ chandise, and we know that a trial order will make you one of our very best friends. The Whole World Comes to Michigan for Furniture Michigan is the greatest furniture producing state in the world, and we are the largest distributors, direct to the people. We own and control the output of factories. Being located in Detroit, Mich¬ igan’s chief city and natural outlet, we save all freight charges. Detroit is one of America’s largest mail order centers, and it is a well known fact that more tv. image goes through the Detroit River than through any other port in the entire world. Our railroad facili¬ ties are unsurpassed and for house furnishings, Detroit is conceded to be the greatest shipping point in the United States. People turn to us for home furnishings as naturally as they turn to Philadelphia for silks, textiles and locomotives; to Pittsburg for steel and to Chicago for live stock and grain. We sell more fur¬ niture and house furnishings than any other concern in existence, and our immense sales give us such a high standing with furniture makers that they come to us and offer us even lower prices than it costs them to make the furniture, because they know that we always stand ready to take large quantities of high quality home furnishings at a spot cash price, and pay them right down for it in money. We Charge You Less Because Our Prices are Wholesale Prices We sell to you exactly as low as we sell to a dealer. All the discount we give dealers, from the prices quoted in this book, is 5% for cash in 30 days. You can have that discount too, if you pay in 30 days. We can quote you wholesale prices—factory prices—because our selling expense is so small. And it costs us less to send this catalogue to you than it costs to send a salesman to sell a dealer. So the fact that your dealer’s prices are higher than our prices does not reflect on your dealer. If he buys from us, he must add his profit to our prices. If he buys from others, he must pay more than we pay. And he must pay in addition, what it costs the factory to sell him. We do not wish to reflect on your dealer. He may be one of our customers. He must of necessity pay more than we pay. And he must have a profit of 50% in order to run his business. Then whatever he charges you, he must have his money quickly. He cannot afford to give you long credit like we do. It isn’t your dealer’s fault—the vast advantage that we give you on prices. It is simply our advantage. But it means the same to you. You cannot afford to pay more than we ask just because a dealer charges more. You must buy where you can buy for the least money, and get the best quality goods and the easiest terms. We are n roud of our furniture made for homes. Hof for chea n stock sales. Main Aisle of Our Mammoth Detroit Store. Freight Rates From Detroit are Lowest, or equally as Low as from CHICAGO to any point on the Globe. We Invite Comparisons We don't ask you to take our word for anything we say about our goods or prices. You have the privilege of examining the articles right in your own home, and you can stand them right along¬ side of other goods that you buy from any dealer; and in this way convince yourself that quality for quality, price for price, we have absolutely no competition and sell our high grade home furnishings at from 25 to 40 per cent less than any other concern in existence. Even our lowest priced goods are thoroughly well made, and we tell you this for your own benefit: that any article so poorly made that it cannot be guaranteed “on honor” will find no place in this catalogue. We warn you not to be deceived by a seemingly low price. Just use your own judgment and figure out how cheap it is possible to sell, or even make an article of home furnishing—and you’ll find our price rock bottom. We Ship All Orders Promptly Our facilities for handling your orders in the quickest time have won us hundreds of customers. People like to get their goods promptly because they usually need them when they order them, and they don't like to be kept waiting. We realize this, and therefore carry in stock enormous assortments of all goods shown in our catalogue. We acknowledge your order the day it comes in the house so that you will know quickly that we have received your money and that your order is being given prompt attention. In this way you are relieved of the anxiety of knowing whether or not your mail has been either delayed or lost, and thousands of people write to us and thank us for this great system of ours which promptly acknowledges an order and guarantees prompt shipment of that order.

It was my belief in the masses that prompted me to establish this business, nearly thirty years ago. The masses have maintained it - and it is the masses that I want on my books, the great army of common people who earn their living by toil. We believe in them more than any other class of people, and it is for their benefit in particular that we operate on the extended credit system. If we had kept up the old style all-cash method we would be no larger today than all-cash houses. As it is, we have built up the greatest home furnishing business in the world. We have the masses to thank for it. They represent the practical buyers. They have no extravagances. Every purchase is to supply an actual need. Trained from the cradle to practice economy and moderation, their ideas are solid and sensible -and that’s why they are worthy all the accommodations that may be given them. Our credit plan is as solid as Gibraltar and a benefit to all mankind. How many of the six hundred thousand homes that we have furnished would ever have been established but for our credit plan? Hot many. Eew indeed could have accumulated in a lump sum all the money necessary if they had to pay all cash, and if I had not established this business and origin¬ ated the furniture credit system, think of the thousands who would have missed the real joy and happiness of a cozily furnished home of their own. You will see now that I have a real mission in life - a self chosen mission which I have followed with the utmost willingness. We fur¬ nish homes for everybody and trust everybody - and distribute the payments over a long period of time. In conclusion, I wish to say that we have always tried our best to do the right thing for all concerned, and I think I am justified in saying that the enormous volume of business, which we so proudly boast, is the public’s mark of approval and appreciation- their expression of satis¬ faction with our merchandise, our prices, our terms and our methods. I sincerely hope that our efforts to maintain the high degree of service we have given - and to improve - will warrant a continuation of your loyal support, Very truly and respectfully, President, People’s Outfitting Company First to Obtain Perfection ™v s th f fir , st __ - furniture to ob¬ tain the high degree of perfection as exemplified in this new 1910 line. The supreme achievements in the furniture building industry are embodied in these magnificent goods. The artist, the woodcarver, the cabinet maker, have all com¬ bined their best ability in order to produce a line of home- furnisliings which, though they represent the elegance of a mansion, can be sold at prices no higher than is generally asked for the ordinary unreliable kinds. What This Means to You 11 means tla ‘ y i; - _-__-- can now get the kind of furniture for which you have always longed — the kind that improves the appearance of every surrounding and makes the whole atmosphere of home more cheerful, more comfortable and more happy. The Gold Medal Brand rep¬ resents the kind of furniture that is seen in the best homes in the land — the sturdy, reliable kind. It is the culmination of art as applied to furniture-craft, making possible that al¬ most indescribable something which distinguishes furniture of character and quality from the mediocre, homely sort. A Grand Innovation We are proud to be able to _ _____ _________ now oner these magnificent homefuruishings at prices even lower than others charge for ordinary goods. It will revolutionize the housefurnishing business, because it will enable people in modest circum¬ stances to furnish their homes as comfortably as those of their wealthier neighbors. Everybody wants good furni¬ ture, and now that it can be had at bargain prices there is every advantage in buying the Gold Medal Brand. More for Your Money It has always been our ■ ___ desire to give our cus¬ tomers more for their money and better treatment than it is possible to get elsewhere. We have always aimed to win the confidence and continued patronage of every one who has ever sent us an order. Our great success in so doing is told by the steady growth of our institution from a small begin¬ ning over twenty-five years ago to the largest Credit Mail Order Establishment in the world today. The introduction and exclusive sale of the famous Gold Medal Brand Furni¬ ture is but another step in advance and another proof of our ability to serve you better than any other concern. Hig hest Award and Gold Medal Impressive Tribute Paid to the People’s Outfitting Co. by the Greatest Furniture State in the World The Triumphant Achievement in Furniture Buildin g The Gold Medal Brand is the outgrowth of remarkable improvements and alterations in manufacturing processes. The necessity for these great improve¬ ments has long been felt; but it remained for the People’s Outfitting Co., the great Michigan institution, to develop them. In the first place, Michigan is the great lumbering camp of the world, the far- famed furniture manufacturing state. Located, as we are, here in the midst of so many natural advantages, our factory interests have grown to colossal proportions. We now have in our employ the most skilled and experienced experts the world has ever known; and the machinery and equipment in our big factories is the finest that brains can invent or that money will buy. Small wonder is it then, that with unlimited resources, w r e have been able to place upon the market this magnificent Gold Medal Brand furniture at prices as low or lower than you would have to pay elsewhere for the cheap thrown together kind. A Wnrrl Ahftllt flliallfv You know g° od furniture when _ If ora HPOmI y wqni y you see it --you can tell the differ¬ ence between Gold Medal Brand furniture and the ordinary kind as soon as it is set up in your home. Other people will notice it, too, for it stands out above the common class of gcods so far that there is no comparison. In the manufacture of Gold Medal Brand furniture the quality of the wood, the appropriateness of design, the consistency of outline, the perfectness of propori ions, the depth and evenness of carvings, the seasoning and the finish are all considered, and the fin¬ ished product is the finest that it is possible to produce. When you buy from the People’s Outfitting Co., you are assured of getting the genuine Gold Medal Brand furniture, the equal of which has never before been offered or shown. Better goods for the same money is our motto, and if it’s Gold Medal Brand furniture it’s better furniture. II Ic VUllhlo FrAtinrnv Think what it means to be able to LL UUUwlC Euunum y p, U y fi nes t goods ever made at cheap prices! When you buy Gold Medal Brand Furniture you buy the kind that will last. It’s a satisfaction to have good things in your home-—sturdy, dependable goods that you are always proud to own — goods that don’t wear out before their time. It’s a pleasure to know that everything is strong and substantial, as well as beautiful and elegant. Even our competitors admit that Gold Medal Brand Fur¬ niture has no equal for the money. It has proved its worth and is now recognized as the standard of quality. It is sure to ultimately replace all other makes because its meritorious quality will commend its universal use. Do Not Be Misled by pictures and catchy low prices shown in some catalogs. They may intimate that you are getting- real solid value in such articles. Unfortunately, pictures look very much alike and oftentimes the common grades of goods shown by other houses at equal prices are taken to be of the same high standard of quality as the genuine Gold Medal Brand. We therefore urge you to not confuse our furniture w T ith that offered by mail order houses generally — the goods we offer are all of superior construction and finish. And please bear in mind, that quality con¬ sidered, our prices are positively the lowest in the world. We are the largest distributers of high grade furniture in the United States and the only concern in the country selling strictly high grade home- furnishings on credit by mail at factory prices. Michigan, as we have explained before, is the world’s greatest furniture producing state — all dealers come here to buy. Now we will sell you this genuine Gold Medal Brand Furniture just as low as we sell to dealers and give you all the advantages of our great Easy Way to Pay Plan. General I nformation, For Your Guidance When Orderin g Freight Charges C l) n CUinmanfe On account of our liberal credit terms of ■ OnipUlCllT j payment, we do not ship any goods C. O. D. The amount of the first payment which we require is so small as compared with the amount of goods purchased that a C. O. D. ship¬ ment is an unnecessary delay and expense to you. On C. O. D. ship¬ ments the railroad companies make an extra charge for collecting and sending the money to shipper, which extra charge you would have to pay. The C. O. D. method often causes unnecessary and disagreeable delays because of the extra requirements w T hich the railroad companies make on shipments of this kind. Our method is cheaper and mere liberal than that of any of the regular mail order houses, because the first payment which we require is smaller than all other mail order houses ask you on C. O. D. shipments. Hup Dion RofloP F° r example: You buy a sideboard from any UUT rldn PCIICI 0 th er mail order house for $12.00. The deposit which they require before they ship the sideboard is at least $2.50 and when the order is received you pay the balance, $9.50, in addition to the freight charges and the extra amount required for the cost of col¬ lection. When buying from us you pay $1.50 down and the sideboard is delivered to your station. Then all you need to do is pay the freight and take it home. You can buy all you need from us in like manner. There is no collection fee and no compulsion to pay the full price for goods before you see what you are really getting. It is understood that you pay the freight on all goods shipped to you, but it will amount to very little, as compared with what you will save in the price. The larger you make your order, the smaller in proportion will be the freight charges and the greater the amount that you will save. You can save money on freight shipments by combining with other people in your neighborhood and ordering the goods shipped in the same car. If you cannot get others to order with you, we guarantee that even on single orders the saving you will make will be considerable on account of our extremely low prices. Fpoio*kt QkSnmonte You Will find the weight of each article ri CI ^IH wllljJIIICIIID given at the end of the description of each article in this catalog. In our freight table, page 4, you will find the rate per 100 pounds on all goods to your town or a town near to you. You pay the freight on arrival of shipment, if you have an agent at your station. If there is no agent at your station it will be necessary for you to prepay the freight. If there is no agent at your station it will be absolutely necessary for you to send us enough money to prepay the freight. This money to prepay the freight charges must be in ad¬ dition to the first payment required on the goods you select. Under no circumstances can we ship orders to stations where there is no agent unless the money to prepay freight is sent us with your order. If you have no agent at your station, we suggest that you have the goods sent to the nearest station where there is a regular freight agent. If you do not care to do this, we advise you to make careful arrange¬ ments to have thejgoods cared for when they are unloaded from the train at your station. We suggest this extra caution because at stations where there is no agent to care for the goods after they are unloaded from the train, the railroad companies will not be responsible for any loss or damage to a shipment after it is left at the station. Shi pments Direct from Factor y as possible we find we can quote them lower prices on a great many of the larger and heavier articles of furniture by shipping direct from the factory. Whenever we do this we will inform you what goods we are shipping from the factory and you will know that you are to pay the freight on such goods from the factory only. This will in many cases make the freight charges smaller. You can easily understand how we can make the prices to you much cheaper on articles shipped from the factory when you consider that we do not have to pay the freight on such goods from the factory to our warehouses and that we do not have the expense of hauling them to and from the railroad and of handling them in our storerooms. Our binding guarantee holds good on such articles shipped from the factory; which means that you are not taking any additional risk, as we guarantee that the goods will reach you in perfect condition. HAW f A A flip I* We a ^ wa y s send order blanks, which we prefer to AM WIMP* have you use, as you will find them more con¬ venient, but if you have none, use a plain sheet of paper. If you are out of order blanks, drop us a postal card and we will be pleased to send you a good supply. Whether you use an order blank, or a plain sheet of paper, always be sure to write your name in full, giving each letter of your first name as well as of your last name. Write as plainly How to Send Money About Returning Goods Orders Under $5.00 and clearly as possible. Give your postoffice address, county and state in which you live, and the nearest shipping point, if different from your postoffice address. Write “Catalog numbers” plainly and in full figures which are printed somewhere in the description of every article in the book. Every article in the book has a catalog num¬ ber which we give in order to avoid mistakes of sending you the wrong goods and the only safe way for you to order is to always mention the number which you will find given somewhere in the description and along w T ith the price of the article you desire. Give a description of the article you want, stating finish, color, measurements, etc., when required. Enclose with your order first payment as given in the table of terms on page 5. Send money order in the same envelope with your order. State the amount you are sending. Check over yonr order after you have it written out to be sure to see that you have followed all these rules. You help us carry out your order quicker and surer if you faithfully follow these rules. Make all your payments by postoffice money order, express money order, bank draft or cash. We prefer any of the above to checks, and do not accept stamps. If you send cash be sure to have your letter registered. The cost is but slight and it insures safe delivery to us. We advise you to send postoffice or express money orders, as being the least expen¬ sive and quickest and safest way. Before you return any goods to us, write us concerning them first, stating that you intend to send them back. We ask this so that if there is any misunderstanding we may have a chance to adjust matters to your entire satisfaction. Whenever it may be necessary for you to return any goods please write us fully concerning the matter, and be sure to give your account number. We will not open an account for amounts less than $5.00. Shipments for less than that will prove unprofitable to you, and we do not advise them. If, however, you wish to order something for less than $5.00 please send cash with order. All Dealing CAnfidantial All dealings with us are carried Mil uecllll lgs UUIlllUCIIIIdl on in the strictest confidence, and you need not hesitate to trade with us for fear that your home merchant or friends and neighbors will know about it. We take every precaution that no one in your town will know when you have purchased any goods from us. All goods are put up in plain packages with plain tags, without our name appear¬ ing on them, so that no one can tell they came from us. If you desire, you can tell your friends of your dealings with us, and we will appreciate any good word that you might say to them for us, but in no case will the information come from us. Wa FmnlAV Na AffPIltc We warn you not to give any orders cm i rniy nil Hgcllla and no t to make any payments to people representing themselves as our agents or representatives. We have no agents and no outside representatives, and all persons thus claiming to be in any way connected with this institution or in any way representing it are frauds and imposters. Transact your business only with our Mail Order Building, 210-222 Sixth street, Detroit, Mich., as this is the only office from which mail orders are filled. Send all letters and all payments direct to the above address. Our shipping department is the most perfect organization in the world, and nothing leaves our -warerooms without being fully ex¬ amined and carefully packed. The goods are delivered to the railroad company in perfect condition, and in every case we secure a signed receipt from the railroad company which states that the goods are in first-class shape when received by them. If it happens that any article reaches you in bad Condition or if it is marred, scratched, dented or broken, be sure to have the freight agent make a written notation of such damage on the freight receipt which he gives you. Absolutely refuse to remove the goods until he has made such a notation. After he has made the proper notation of the damages on your freight bill pay the freight and accept the goods and take them home. Then send the freight bill to us at once and we will make a satisfac¬ tory adjustment of the damages, holding the railroad company re¬ sponsible for accidents and carelessness, and making good to you any loss sustained. When goods are badly damaged, we will send new goods in place just as soon as we receive your freight bill with proper notation by agent. In this way we guarantee you absolutely safe delivery of all goods purchased from us and we hold ourselve respon¬ sible to supply you with just the goods you order in perfect condition. Safe Deliver y Guaranteed THE PEOPLE’S EASY WAY TO PAY BOOK 3 S HIPPING RATES AND REGULATION !* tiflin DA VC TUC CDCIPIITQ To avoid any misunderstanding, we wish » p i TVlIU ■ AID I VIE I H kill II I ■ to make ourselves clear on this point, THE PURCHASER ALWAYS PAYS THE FREIGHT I T is a fixed law of all business that the purchaser pays the cost of delivery, although it is often done in an indirect manner. Your coal dealer could sell his coal 50 cents to $1.00 per ton cheaper if his customers came after it with their own wagons. This is equally true in the case of furniture. Suppose your local dealer purchases a sideboard from a manufacturer in Grand Rapids. Now, before he sells it to you, he will fix his retail price according to what the sideboard costs him. He will put down so much for original cost of the sideboard, so much for clerk hire, rent, light, heat, etc., plus the freight charges from Grand Rapids to his store. So you will see that you always pay the freight. There is a vast difference in your favor, however, in purchasing from the People’s Outfitting Co., and paying the freight yourself or direct as compared to purchasing from your local dealer and paying the freight in the price of the article or indirectly, and it is this: In every instance where you purchase from the People’s Outfitting Co. the price is so much lower that THE SAVING WHICH YOU EFFECT MORE THAN COVERS THE FREIGHT CHARGES. Now, if you purchase from the People’s Outfitting Co., paying the freight yourself direct, you will be much better off than if you bought of the dealer and paid him the freight indirectly as part of the cost of the sideboard. For this reason: The great saving on one article bought at the “ People’s ” prices will more than cover the freight charges on a great number of articles. Therefore, we do not prepay freight, as we can get no lower rates than you can, and we should be obliged to increase the price of every article in our Catalogues. TO ESTIMATE SHIPPING RATES FIRST—The country is divided into three Freight Districts, as follows: EasterrTStates: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hamp¬ shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia. Western States: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indian Terri¬ tory, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oregon, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Southern States: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee. SECOND—Refer to the “Merchandise Classification” and see the rating of the article or articles you wish to order. THIRD—Refer to the last table, “Transportation Charges,” on page 15. By multiplying the weight of the article selected by the rate given in that table you will arrive at a close estimate of what the charges will amount to. (The weight of every article in the catalogue is given in the description of the article). BY WAY OF ILLUSTRATION Suppose you were living in Youngstown, Ohio, and desired to purchase our No. 20F-102 Bookcase. You will find Ohio under Eastern States, so you place your finger in the “East” column of the “Merchandise Classification” table and you find that Bookcases are lK class to Youngstown, Ohio, which means the rate is 1 % times the regular first-class rate. Now find Youngstown in the table of “Transpor¬ tation Charges” and you find that the first-class rate to Youngstown is 36 cents per hundred pounds. Multiply this by IK, which gives 54 cents as the full rate per hundred pounds on the Bookcase. FREIGHT RATES FROM DETROIT are in most cases lower than from Chicago and where they are not lower they are the same, but never higher. If you will examine our table of transportation charges printed below, and make comparison with freignt rates from Chicago, you will be thoroughly convinced that Detroit has be¬ come such an important mail tfrder center as to warrant these special low rates.

Below we submit our table of easy payments. This table is figured out on such a close basis that it represents the very smallest amount that we can accept on each transaction. Understand, you can pay a larger amount down and a greater sum each month than the table of easy payments calls for, if you so desire, but under no circum¬ stances can we accept a smaller amount than that named in the table. We will gladly sell any goods to anybody, no matter where he lives on the terms quoted below, and will ship goods promptly on receipt of first payment BEAR IN MIND THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT AS SHOWN BELOW MUST ACCOMPANY THE ORDER. For example, the goods you wish to purchase amount to $10.00, you mail us the first payment, namely $1.50; the balance you pay at the rate of 75c. a month. The amount of first payment and the monthly installment all depend upon the amount of goods you wish to purchase. First, decide upon the amount you wish to buy; the table of terms will tell you the rest. We guarantee to undersell your local dealer and every other merchant who requires you to pay all cash and besides we give you easy terms of credit that allow you all the time you require to pay for your goods. We do not open accounts for amounts less than $5.00. We explain to you on another page why it will pay you to make your order amount to $5.00 or more. All orders under $5.00 must be accompanied with cash.

It has always been the broad and liberal policy of the People’s Outfitting Co. to serve its customers’ interests first, last, and all the time. It is only such a business policy as this that has made us America's Largest and Most Progressive Home Furnishers PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO., DETROIT, MICH. FOR CASH We allow 5% Discount for Cash. By closely figuring the actual difference between operating our easy • way ■ to • pay system, and selling goods for cash-in-full at time of order, we find that it is less than five (5) cents on the dollar in favor of the latter. Satisfaction guaranteed or all money PER CENT OFF TUEDCEftDC a ^ ow y° u a discount of five (5) per incncruncy cent, for every order which is accompanied by cash in full. For example: If you should order our 5E-117 Chif¬ fonier, which is listed at $35, and you desire to pay cash in full for it, you may deduct 5 per cent, or $1.75, and send us the $33.25. PACU u/ITU ill OH TIJIVC Furthermore, we will allow UAdll WIiniN OU UAlOi you a discount of five (5) per cent if you pay your account in full within thirty (30) days from date of shipment. We realize there are people who are in the habit of requiring at the most only 30 days in which to pay up an account and for the benefit of this class we are willing to allow the same discount privilege accorded those who pay in full at time of order. For example: If you should order our Chiffonier, listed at $35, a first payment of $5.00 will be required, leaving a balance of $30, to be paid in monthly payments of $2.50 each. However, if at the end of 30 days you can afford to pay the balance in full, you may deduct 5 per cent, from $35 or $1.75, and pay us the balance due, $28.25. You must remember that whether you pay cash in full with order, or, whether you take advantage of our Easy-Way-to-Pay Credit Plan, our double binding guarantee of satisfaction always holds good. You may order with the distinct understanding and agreement that you will get ALL your money back if the purchase made does not come up to your expectations, or if you feel that you are not getting the greatest value for your money. You may return the goods to us at our expense, and we will cheer¬ fully send you other goods of your selection, or, we will return all money paid by you, which includes freight charges. There are absolutely no strings to this liberal offer. ALL your money BEAR IN MIND WHY back if you are not satisfied, refunded. There is a reason for this broad and liberal policy on our part. It can be summed up in one word—Confidence. We feel confident that our prices and our goods will please and satisfy you. We court the closest scrutiny, we invite the most rigid comparisons. We ask that you go to your local dealer to examine his stock and get his prices, for we will then know that you will go home with the extreme satisfaction of feeling convinced that you have received the most for your money from the People’s Outfitting Co. We do not feel satisfied until our customers dot 5% THE ONLYDISCOUNT: or $1,000, the only discount we can allow for cash in full with order is five (5) per cent. from the prices quoted in our catalogue. This is the only concession we possibly can make, representing as it does, the mere cost of handling a mail-order credit account. In the city, our customers always pay the same prices for goods on the cash basis as those who take advantage of our liberal terms of credit, and positively, this is the first and only discount from our regular prices we have ever allowed. Our margin of profit is already so low that to allow more than a discount of five per cent, for cash would be doing business at a practical loss to us, besides impairing our ability to give the greatest satisfaction to our customers. By actual com¬ parison you will find that our prices for goods on credit are lower than others ask for Cash, for a similar grade of goods, and when we allow you an additional five per cent, for cash-in-full, you are positively getting better goods at much lower prices, with freight charges added, than can be obtained from anyone any¬ where at any time. 1 Spec! ial to E )ealers j We wish to make the announcement that we are ready to supply the local dealer or country merchant with limited orders at the regular catalogue prices, less five (5) per cent, discount for cash within thirty (30) days. In justice to our rapidly growing retail trade, that vast army of mail-order buyers who actually need the credit, we cannot extend to you the same terms of credit but must insist upon a settlement within 30 days from date of the original order. Our prices are so low that you will find them in hundreds of cases be^ow that of the manufacturers’ and jobbers’ regular prices, and we guarantee to save you money on any purchase made from us, even with the freight charges added. Make out your order and send it to us. We will then let you know if we can fill all or part of the order. Wide-awake local dealers and country merchants will not fail to take advantage of hundreds of our genuine money-saving bargains at less than cost prices, but as this catalogue is gotten up primarily for the benefit of our out-of-town retail customers, we shall be compelled to limit the size of the orders from regular dealers. OUR COMMERCIAL STANDING As to our reliability, we refer you either to Dun’s or Bradstreet’s commercial agencies, or the First National Bank of Detroit, and in writing to them, be sur^ to inclose a 2c stamp for reply.

Each spring used is thoroughly tested for strength and tension so that it will have the required “springiness” or “give” which has so much to do with comfort. The springs detail of construction in our goods is found perfect: because the parts hidden from view are just as well made as the parts that show, and because the splendid ma¬ terials used throughout are the kind that give thorough satisfaction and excite the admiration of all. There’s a vast difference between Gold Medal Brand up¬ holstered furniture and the shoddy Imitations that are offered by those who vainly attempt to compete with us In price.

Styles and Grades of Material far Our Upholstered Goods Fancy Figured Velour Plain Cut Velour Eng lish Verona has a soft, velvety effect, but has far greater wearing qualities than velvet, being of a heavier and higher weave. The body colors of the cloth are dark red or myrtle green, and the artistic colorings are printed into the body of the cloth by a special process, which makes a very handsome as w£ll as lasting design. is a high piled fabric woven in parallel ridges or block effects UOrUUlUy instead of the plain surface, such as velvet or velour has. It - s comes in the same colors as the latter, but it is a heavier grade 'of goods, and is recommended for constant daily usage. It never fails to give satisfaction. A recently invented covering for upholstering that has been found to possess great wearing qualities, - - as well as exceptional beauty. The body of the cloth is of the prevailing dark red or myrtle green shades, and has what may be termed an embossed effect. The body of the cloth is first woven in fancy figure effects, and into this is woven a raised figure effect, making in all a beauti¬ ful cloth. As in plush, it has a raised nap with a Terry effect background. One of the most luxurious coverings for furniture is English Verona. It has a very rich appearance and is used in covering the higher grades of upholstered furniture. Has a long nap like the finest plush, with a rich raised figure design. It is a very heavy cloth and sure to please. This is the highest grade cloth covering, but it will prove the least expensive in the long run, as it will out¬ last all the others. Cillr n^moelr Universally used for covering parlor suites, fancy chairs and wllli UcWlaSK rockers. It is a very stylish fabric and at the same time — ' very serviceable. It is woven from pure silk and linen, the latter forming the back only. The silk used is dyed before being woven, thereby insuring a non-fading color. The ground work is usually a solid color, and the floral effects are woven in vari-colored silks. It is a difficult matter to describe the colors, and the customer is asked to indicate one of the general colors: deep red, olive green and light brown. OpncIlAfl Dlliclt ^ strictly high grade fabric. Has a silky nap which UlUSflCU I lUSfl adds wonderfully to its fine appearance. Very rich and - ’ exceedingly serviceable. After the cloth is woven the entire piece is crushed, which brings out the handsome shaded effects. Comes in green, red or blue colors.

It is a very heavy fabric, and comes in deep red or myrtle green colors. Silk Plush h. very rich fabric, one used in upholstering high grade parlor qualities. furniture. It is very soft and smooth and, as its name indicates, pure silk enters into its composition. It has good wearing DrAAofAlla Outside of the leather coverings, brocateile is the most ex- DlUvClTcllC pensive of the fabrics. The reason is,' it possesses the beauty - of a finely woven, vari-coiored, richly designed cloth, and at the same time it is so strong and tough that it wears* like leather; in fact, its wearing quality is almost equal to leather. In texture it resembles tapestry, and it is adorned with slightly raised figures upon a solid-color back-ground. I AofltAV U* 10 ^ est substitute for genuine leather, which it closely vlldwC UCdlllCI resembles. It will not crack, peel or wear rough, and ' _ in wearing quality is really superior to leather, unless the latter is the real No. 1. For these reasons we recommend Chase leather as a covering for furniture that must stand hard wear, in case the purchaser docs not care to pay the price of genuine No. 1 leather. Boston leather is not quite so expensive but very similar to Chase leather. Genuine Leather About the Colors The genuine leather used in covering our upholstered furniture is the real guaranteed No. 1 and no other. It is hand-buffed No. 1, not No. 2 or No. 3. It has always been the policy of the People’s to offer only the best grade of goods, and as there is no better covering material in the world than our No. 1 genuine hand-buffed leather, you may be-, sure of getting it every time it is ordered. We will cheerfully refund the money and pay the freight charges both ways if this is proven otherwise than as represented. Be sure to state color of upholstering desired. We can furnish any standard color. Red and Green are the best colors in Velours, Corduroy, and Verona coverings, and the colors universally desired. flliolltu We guarantee every piece of upholstered furniture that leaves our bUaillY warehouses. Our aim is to supply not only the very latest styles * * and designs, but also to supply goods that we are certain you will find perfect in construction. The highest grade of wood, the finest steel and the best upholstering material are other points of superiority in our furniture. In other words, quality is our first and last consideration. You may readily see that while you may be offered upholstered goods elsewhere that resemble somewhat in design the merchandise we sell and probably at the same prices, the same degree of quality cannot possibly be furnished because the various features of the superior construction of our couches, davenports, lounges, Morris chairs, etc., are fully covered by patents, and while other dealers may imitate our designs in detail, you cannot obtain from them such exceptionally fine merchandise- at anywhere near our prices. A 1IH Cnavimaiim CIaaL We carry the very largest and most com- UUr enormous OTOGK plete stock of all kinds of upholstered furni- ' 1 *- 1 ture, of any concern on earth. Our stock is three times as large as any general mail-order house that sells “everything under the sun.” We sell home furnishings only. The designs of our upholstered furniture are the latest and most artistic creations from the world’s biggest and best factories. Each season finds us with a complete new stock. No “left-over” goods ever remain in this establishment. We sell our merchandise so quickly that you can depend upon getting from us the very newest and most up-to-date goods at any time of the year. Bearing in mind the superior construction of our upholstered furniture, by a thorough and close com¬ parison you will find that our prices are from 25 to 45 per cent, lower than those of any other dealer. Mind you, cheaper pieces might be offered you, but they must be cheap—cheap price—cheap construction ■—cheap upholstering—cheap wood—cheap finish. Even the designs, though copied after our celebrated “Gold Medal Brand” styles, will be cheap imitations. The unusually low prices at which we are able to offer our upholstered goods are evidence of our powerful purchasing force that causes wise manufacturers to give us respectful attention when we approach them with propositions to take their factories’ entire out-put for many seasons. Think what this means! Think of having a sure market for all your products—no worry, no salesmen, no commissions, no salaries, no middlemen or jobbers to cater to. Is it any wonder that we are able to obtain the greatest concessions in the way of low cost price?. Thus it is that we are able to offer our goods to you at the same prices that other dealers must pay at the factory; in other words, we offer you goods at the wholesale price. We hereby quarantee each and every article in the de¬ partment of upholstered furniture to be absolutely per- ■' " .. feet, to be just as represented, and to be the greatest money value in the world. We bind ourselves to refund your first payment and all freight charges you may have paid on any purchase that does not prove satis¬ factory. We give you the privilege of taking the article purchased into your home and thoroughly examining it to your entire satisfaction before considering the sale closed. T n ’making this unusual free trial offer we want you to remember that we do not feel that we are taking any chances whatever.

Giant strides in the manufacture of Gold Medal Brand Davenports have recently been made—remarkable improvements and alterations effected in manufacturing processes. New designs and new creations representing a combination of quality, beauty and sturdy construction have been perfected, the equal of which have never before been approached. Look at the magnificent, richly upholstered Davenports illustrated and described on the following pages—read the descriptions and study the remarkable, new construction and you will be quickly and firmly convinced that these wonderfully improved and exceptionally well made, beautiful Davenports are by far the most sensational values ever offered. Here Are Some “Reasons Why ” In contracting the exclusive agency for the famous line of Gold Medal Brand Davenports we agreed to dispose of the entire output of these goods from the big factory. To sell so many, we realize that even though they are far superior to any others on the market, they must be offered in competition with the cheap grades sold by so many mail-order houses. We are determined therefore to place these magnificent Davenports in the homes of our customers at as low or even lower prices than is generally paid for common grades. By making them up in enormous quantities we save considerably in the cost of manufacture; and with improved machinery and equipment we are turning out these luxurious Davenport Bed Sofas at minimum cost. We will undoubtedly sell thousands upon thousands of them during the en¬ suing year. They are listed on the fol¬ lowing pages at the lowest factory prices. The Above Illustration Shows This Picture Shows How Davenport The Improved Interior Construction A most important point to be taken into consideration when buying a Davenport is the interior construction. Upon this point depends the life of the Davenport. With the improved Sanitary con¬ struction of the new Gold Medal Brand Davenports their wearing quality is practically doubled. The upholstering throughout is sup¬ ported by special spring construction and braced with steel. A net work of oil tempered, spiral steel springs gives elasticity and per¬ manency to the upholstering. Heavy duck canvas is placed over the springs. Above the canvas comes the soft deep tow with cotton top filling, and upon this the heavy rich covering is thoroughly tufted. The tufting is even and perfect and each tuft is held permanently in place by the double pronged steel tufting buttons. For Storing Bedding. A compartment beneath seat is provided for the storage of bed clothes. The frames throughout represent the finest cabinet work, and the choice wmods show to wonderful advan¬ tage the beautiful wavy grain and flake through the clear, rich finish. A beautiful polish is given to the wood work and with the luxurious upholstery the completed Davenports present a most elegant appear¬ ance. There is something distinctive about Gold Medal Brand furni¬ ture—a touch of style and elegance not possessed by other makes. This is the kind of furniture people want, and now that we are able to supply it at even less cost than you would have to pay elsewhere for undesirable goods, we feel confident of your continued patronage. The new improved patent device for instantly transforming these Davenports into full size beds is pronounced by experts to be by far the simplest and best in use. All that is necessary to do is to raise the seat up until the ratchets click. As the seat raises the back lowers itself simultaneously and automatically. The seat is then lowered and you have a full size bed. To reverse this operation, that is, to transform the bed into a Davenport again, simply raise the seat until ratchets click, then bear down on seat and the back will raise into position, the seat automatically lowering itself. There are no strings to pull and when the two changes are made there is no pushing and pulling in order to get every part in its proper position. A child of ten years can operate one of our Gold Medal Brand Daven¬ ports with ease. When made into a bed, as shown in the illustration above, you have a full head and foot end bed, same as any regular bed. No home is complete without one of these Davenports, for even when not in use as a bed its roomy wardrobe may be used for storage purposes, and nothing about its makeup as a Davenport would indi¬ cate that it could be used as a bed. It is a large, luxuriously uphol¬ stered Sofa which can at a moment’s notice be transformed into a full size comfortable bed.

But that is not all to be considered in making your choice. You must guard against flimsy construction. You can get a merely “pretty” parlor suite almost any¬ where, and many offer them at low prices; but you are of necessity taking chances on the quality. Quality means much in a parlor suite. You want something that is useful as well as ornamental— a parlor suite that will stand up under real hard usage. Our fine “Fashion” parlor suites are all made with extra heavy strong frames; all joints are perfectly mortised and joined. The uphols- , tering is decidedly rich and decorative and of su¬ perior quality. The Price on Easy to Pay The People’s Way The frames are all new for this season. They are extra strong, built of select northern birch and finished in a perfect imitation of ma¬ hogany, which is guaranteed to wear as well as genuine mahogany. Each piece is of an extremely beautiful uniform design, pro¬ fusely adorned with rich hand carving. Remem¬ ber, each piece is made extra strong, reinforced at every joint, and should not, in point of style, workmanship and finish, be compared to the cheap frames with which the market is flooded by other dealers. This suite is beautifully upholstered. Furnished in various colorings; please state our preference. This material is of the very est grade of the finest weave, and posi¬ tively wears better than all other covering material furnished by other dealers. We personally inspect each and every suite that enters or leaves our stores and ware¬ houses, and we are very particular about the quality of the covering material. We safeguard the purchaser at every turn. The interior construction is the same as in our other high grade upholstered fusniture. Only the high grade, tested, oil tempered steel wire springs are used, and these are so securely attached and interlaced with one another that for one to get loose is next to impossible. this suite is 20 per cent, lower than the same quality goods can be bought from any other concern in the United States. We have secured the choicest new designs for the coming year by placing our order a month early. By this stroke we secured the goods at a big discount in price. A certain manufacturer’s representative came to us with a proposition to keep their factory running full time, commencing 30 days earlier than usual. We drew up a contract in which it was agreed that the goods were to be made according to our own exacting specifications and must be up to our high¬ est standard of “ Fashion ” quality. This extra well made, beautifully designed, strong, substantial parlor suite at a lower price than others charge for the ordinary kind is a fair sample of how we can, with our great outlet through our big stores and our immense'mail order house, dictate our own prices to the manufacturers, and consequently give our customers better goods for less money than they can hope to secure elsewhere. in packing and ship p ing our No. 9 E-374 UPHOLSTERING: fancy figured Velour | $ 24.75 We Take Particular Pains parlor suites so that they will reach you in as perfect condition as they left our stores or warehouses.

This five piece suite, consisting of a sofa, arm rocker, arm chair and two parlor chairs, combines all of these qualities in the highest degree. To give an accurate and full descrip¬ tion of the truly gorgeous beauty of this five-piece parlor suite more than one page would be necessary, but lack of space not permitting it, we can only call attention to the most salient fea¬ tures and even that beyond doubt, will tend to show the enormous bargain value of this splendid offering. The frames are made from thoroughly sea¬ soned fine grained birch mahogany, brilliantly finished to a mirroi-like sur¬ face. The workmanship is faultless, being the product of the most skilled workmen employed by furniture manu¬ facturers. The design is distinctly original, with artistic hand carving, hand tufted backs,and high arms, claw feet, in short a more substantial and comfortable parlor suite would be hard to find. The seat of each piece is extra wide and com¬ fortable and is fitted with a full spring edge and deep front. It is filled with an ample number of tested, highly tempered steel springs, firmly bound and secured by a special patent process, which guarantees any spring from getting loose and ruining the steel spring construction. They are covered with best quality heavy canvas. The backs are deeply hand tufted, each tuft being securely fastened with metal buttons.

No- 9F-I57 affix's order. Character, Tone and Quality— these are highly developed in this 5-piece Parlor Suite. Beautiful ho.nd carvings, massive construction, high polish and excellence of detail characterize this parlor suite. The profuse carvings dis¬ play the work of the master hand, each line and curve is clean-cut and distinct, following a design that is unsurpassed for originality and beauty. When we state that the construction of this suite is solid we mean that it is built with a view of holding the great¬ est weights and to be equal to any de¬ mands made upon it at any time. The frames are made-from thoroughly sea¬ soned, fine grained birch mahogany, with a piano polish finish. This piano finish is not merely laid on, but each piece is hand rubbed and polished until the ^urface shines with the greatest brilliancy, rivaling the highest grade French mirror. This polish will prac¬ tically last forever, needing only a cov¬ ering of furniture oil to renew its 1 istre after long service. The interior construction, after all, is probably of the greatest importance in the making o up¬ holstered furniture. A richly carved, handso nely designed massive frame or exterior is practically worthless unless the interior, the spring work and the filling, is also of the finest quality. The in¬ terior construction of this elegant parlor suite is just exactly what you would expect it to be— first class in every detail, no stinting or curtailing, but the best material in full quantity, such as the requisite number of high tension, highly elastic steel springs covered with heavy canvas, and finest quality filling, thereby producing a full spring seat and edge unequalled for comfort and durability. As to coverings you may exercise your own choice and select according to price list appended below. It will be noted that there is compara¬ tively slight difference between the cost of the parlor suite covered with fancy figured velour and our next grade covering, and so on up the line until you reach the Genuine Leather covering. It will be further noted that there is only $3.50 difference required as the first payment on this parlor suite covered with Figured velour and one covered with our genuine leather covering, while in the matter of monthly payments there is a difference of a dollar and a quarter. In order¬ ing be sure to state style and color of covering desired and always give catalogue number of selection. Shipping weight, 200 pounds. TTnTinle+o'rtnrr _.

By merely going over it with a woolen cloth this polish finish may always be kept in a perfect state of preservation The interior construction embodies in its make up the best material known to the trade; the springs are cone-shaped and are drawn from high tension carbonized steel wire, firmly put in place and connected with one another by a patent process, thereby avoiding any possible chance of an individual spring getting loose and weakening the entire construction. Extra heavy duck canvas is used immediately over the springs and the filling used is of the very best grade.

The expense of manufacturers’ traveling salesmen and the usual wholesaler’s and retailer’s profits have been eliminated, making a saving in cost never before attempted. We therefore guarantee every table shown on this and the following pages to be at least 25 per cent lower in price than the same quality can be had from any other dealer or mail order house in the United States.

With the slightest effort the result is wonderfully astonishing. It’s not the rough surface, not the irregular rough handling, tearing of clothes that cleanses them, but the gentle forcing of hot water through the fibre of the clothes. If with the water you use superheated steam, the time for cleaning and wear on the clothes is lessened. The cardinal features of a desirable washer are its ease of operation, it’s simplicity, its gentle hand¬ ling of soiled clothes to prevent tearing, its quickly and thoroughly cleaning same. Best features all embodied in Berlin Washer, as it alone adapts every scientific principle with less mechanism and eliminates all objectionable features ever applied to a washer. The Berlin eliminates entirely any complicated gearing. The Berlin is the only washer absolutely air-tight, making it possible to force alternately steam and hot water through clothes, which thoroughly sterilizes them. The Berlin washer, because of this air-tight feature retains the heat in water, thus making boiling of clothes entirely unnecessary. The Berlin uses less water, for being confined, there is no evaporation or loss of steam usually filling the room which is so detrimental to the user of machines. The Berlin with its constant and complete agitation of the entire contents of barrel gives full use of all the water, all the soap, all the suds, all the steam all the time. The Berlin washes alike the tiniest piece of linen and largest blanket with equal ease and absolute certainty of not tearing. The Berlin washer has a most rigid wringer attach¬ ment, most conveniently and substantially arranged, entirely independent of barrel. Construction, The Berlin washer is made as carefully and finished off as nicely as the finest piece of furniture. It is made of solid oak staves, each stave perfectly matched thus making barrel air and water proof. Lid is made of same material with cork strip all around the edge to make it absolutely air and water tight. The finish is a bright golden with orange color hoops and aluminum color gearing. Frame is made o. oak, very substantial and heavy. Shipping weight, 85 pounds.

QUALITY: OUR WATCHWORD earners. A CHEAP REFRIGERATOR tZZJLg IS DEAR AT ANY PRICE : mg is dearer than a cheap stove or a cheap refrigerator. Each requires to be fed, and the greater the number of defects in its make-up, the greater amount of food (coal or ice) will be required to produce a given result. USED IN ARMY AND NAVY we would like to mention, in passing, that since the United States army commenced using our make of refrigerators, no more complaint is heard of bad beef. It might be interesting to observe also that many of the fighting ships bearing the Stars and Stripes on their mast-heads are fitted with these refrigerators, and as they were selected by the United States government against the strer uous competition of hundreds of others, the superiority of ours may readily be conceded. In the se¬ lection of our great line of refrigerators, we are influenced by two great ideas, viz: (1) We wanted a refrigerator of which we could truthfully and conscientiously say to our great army of'cus- tomers scattered throughout the length and breadth of this country: “Take this ‘food preserver’ into your home and we absolutely guarantee that it will keep your food stuffs in perfectly wholesome condition.” We say further, order it with the distinct understanding and agreement that i£ it is not just exactly as represented, or, if you find that it is not the greatest bargain on the market, you may return it to us and we will refund every -cent expended by you in placing the order. Could anything be more fair? We also hold ourselves responsible for its safe delivery to your station. ■ T tAfUAI ETC A I F ^ We wan ^ e( ^ a refrigerator HI VVIIUbbWHkk possessing every good feature of the best on the market, and we wanted one to offer to our customers at a price easily within their means. We were not willing, however, to sacrifice quality for the sake of low price. Thereupon we turned to the most successful maker of refrigerators we know of, reputed to be the largest manufacturer of refrigerators in the world, whose output mounts up into the hundreds of thousands, who ships to every part of the civilized world where a refrigerator is a necessity, and we placed the largest single refrigerator order ever given this successful firm, with the result that we now are in a position to offer these high grade refriger¬ ators at a smaller figure than your local dealer is able to purchase them from the maker; in other words, we offer them to you retail at less than the regular wholesale price. 55 _ THE PEOPLE’S EASY WAY TO PAY BOOK HE STORY OF THE CONSTRUCTIOH OF THE WORLD’S BEST ANTI-SEPTIC REFRIGERATORS Just why the “Victor” and “Jack Frost” refrigerators are the very highest types of food preservers on the market today is an interesting story. We propose to take one apart and show you step by step its mechanical makeup or construction, its most up-to-date and improved features and its great practicability. Production of Dry Cold Air '/77///////////7/77/S / / / ~' '////////////////////* The chief aim of a re¬ frigerator is the production of dry, cold air properly circulated throughout every part at the least expense of ice. It has been proven by actual hygrometer test that our refrigerators give 25 per cent dryer air than any other make (one reason why they have been selected by the United States Gov¬ ernment for use in the Army and Navy), while their con¬ struction permits 12 per cent, greater ice capacity, and the resultant four to six degrees lower tempera¬ ture in thirty minutes. The accompanying dia¬ gram fully illustrates the theory of circulation in all our refrigerators. The arrows indicate the direction of the currents of air, which are kept in constant motion by the opposing forces of heat and cold. These cur¬ rents are created by the cold air from the ice chamber entering the provision room at the top near its center; from thence it passes down and around whatever articles may be stored therein, tak- _ . ing on their odors and be¬ coming more or less warmed. It is then forced by natural laws to ascend to the top where its only outlet is through the flues at either side of the ice chamber; here it is condensed and cooled, settling down over and around the ice, which lies upon a rack made of heavy corrugated galvanized iron; when the air comes in contact with this iron, it being cold as the ice itself, it quickly condenses all vapor or odor that may remain, thus leaving all impurities to pass off through the drip pipe with the melted ice. The condensation is the same as seen on a pitcher or glass of ice water coming in contact with a warm, moist atmosphere, and also forcibly illus¬ trated by the breath coming in contact with cold, frosty atmosphere. It will thus be seen that all odor or vapor is removed, and the pure, dry cold air returns to the provision chamber, thereby securing the most favorable conditions possible for the preservation of all articles stored therein. These conditions wall continue so long as the ice chamber is kept filled with ice. Moisture in the provision chamber is a deadly foe, creating foul, poisonous air. and destroying instead of preserving its contents. The circulation of the Victor and. Jack Frost keeps the air dry, pure and cold. All these conditions are necessary to insure perfect preserving qualities in a refrig¬ erator. The Victor and Jack Frost Refrigerators are the best made for preserving and keeping all articles stored therein pure and hygienic. Anti-Septic Zinc and Enameled-Zinc Linings Another word about the linings of our refrigerators. The “Victor” and the tljack Frost are- lined,—the former with anti-septic zinc and the latter with white enameled anti-septic zinc. We would content ourselves with this explanation were it not for the fact that there are many zinc lined refrigerators offered the public that should never find a place in any home. It must be remembered that zinc is used for various purposes, other than for refrigerators, and in certain stages it is positively injurious, poisoning the foods coming in contact with it, causing it to decay, etc. The zinc used for lining the “Victor” and the “Jack Frost is prepared for its particular use by a secret process that is positively non-injurious,it is easily cleaned and it is the best known non-conductor of heat and cold. If you value the health of your family, if you have at heart the welfare of your near and dear ones,be sure to order a“Victor ’or “Jack Frost”anti-septic zinc lined refrigerator and no other. Removable Ice Tank Another splendid feature of our refrigerator is the re¬ movable ice compartment, herewith illustrated. It will be noted that it consists of a galvanized iron ice recept- cle shown at the lett, a corrugated ice rack shown in the center and a galvanized iron drip pan on the right. They are extremely simple in construction and cannot get out of order. The cir¬ culation of air is not retard¬ ed and the result is a cold, dry atmosphere. As stated previously, this construction allows 20 per cent, more ice capacity than others, and will show from four to six degrees lower temperature in thirty minutes. Furthermore, it makes every.part of the refrigerator easy of access for cleaning. Then, too, think of the convenience of allowing the ice man to take the receptacle out to his wagon where he can fill it with ice, carry it back into the house the same as you would a basket, and place it into the refrigerator—all this without muss or dirt or wetting up the floor with drippings—truly cleanly and practical all the way through. Scientific Construction In the construction of our refrigerators the matter of good material and expert workmanship are not the only considerations. A refrigerator is like a high grade piano, it must be constructed on certain tested scientific principles in order to produce the highest results, and we can conscientiously state that from a con¬ structive and scientific point of view our refrigerators cannot be excelled by any other make on the market. Our case work is made of clear, hard northern ash, finished in a substantial, rich, golden oak, with spar varnish. We repeat, that our refrigerators are made on the most modern and correct theory of insulation. First we have an inside wall of anti-septic zinc in the “Victor, or enameled anti-septic zinc in the “Jack Frost,” then a heavy wall of matched, tasteless and ordorless pine 1 umber, then a wall of charcoal shreathing, a space of dead air, and then a second wall of sheathing inside the outer casing. Automatic Drip Cups The illustration herewith given affords a very clear idea of the newly invented drip cup with which our refrigerators are fitted. It is made of cast iron and is securely screwed to the base of the refrigerator, thus preventing it from falling and letting the warm air up into the ice chamber. A string leading to the front of the case can be pulled to drain the cup before re¬ moving the pan to be emptied; releasing the string returns the cup to its place, and holds the drip while pan is being emptied, so that no water will fall on the floor. This is our great automatic drip cup which we herewith illustrate. Bali Bearing Casters In the accompanying illustra¬ tion we show a cross section of our patent self-retaining, ball¬ bearing casters used on our re¬ frigerators. They are made of steel, with wooden wheels, and therefore do not cause rust stains on the floor. They will not drop out when the refrigerator is raised from the floor, but they can be easily removed if necessary and returned just as easily. TUF DRIP PAN isfe,t insulated,'which ■ ■■ 6 Vmr I Mil j sa new invention, and it is positively the only one that will not condense. It is double throughout and has all turned edges. np|P pi pp The drip pipe fitted on our ■* ■■ ■ r lilt refrigerator is easily the best on the market. It is removable with a screw air tight joint, so constructed that it will never interfere with proper circulation, a very common rouble in ordinary refrigerators. CUpI 1/PC are made to slide and, wntLVtO there is plenty of air space between the strips of the shelves—allowing the very best possible circulation. Furthermore, they may be adjusted to different heights, a very desirable feature, permitting the storing of different sized vessels, not possible where the shelves are stationary. Our refrigerators are fitted with solid cast brass trim¬ mings. heavily plated and polished. There certainly is nothing cheap about their make-up, everything is of the very highest quality, no expense being spared to make the best refrigerator on the market. AUTOMATIC LID HOLDER Just to show the completeness of our refrigerators, we mention the fact that they are fitted with an automatic lid holder. No danger of the lid falling down and smashing your fingers or your head 56 PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO., DETROIT, MICH GRAND REFRIGERATOR and up, accord¬ ing to size The “Grand” Refrigerator has a case of solid ash, finished golden.

If the ice chamber is kept well supplied, it will always keep a circulation of cold, dry air in the provision chamber, free from moisture. The greater the supply of ice the closer the temperature of the ice chamber will be to that of the ice itself, thus preventing the melting of the ice, and producing a more lively circulation of cold air most beneficial to the proper preservation of the food. In case the ice should be completely consumed at any time and the refrigerator bt- com es warm, all its contents should bejremo ved and the refrigerator thoroughly cleaned. Never place warm provisions in your refrigerator. Do not keep provisions in the ice chamber. New refrigerators should stand from twelve to twenty-four hours after the ice chamber is filled before placing articles in the provision chamber. A refrigerator should never be used for storing provisions and perishable articles unless there is ice in the chamber, for the reason that there can be no circulation without the cold air. Consequently its contents will mould and decay. In using refrigerators without ice, the lid should be left open to allow circula¬ tion. See that the drip pipe does not get choked or filled up with refuse from the ice chamber; it can be taken out, when necessary, by unscrewing. Follow these directions and your refrigerator will always give satisfaction. Suaoe^fion* Cleanliness is the first suggestion. All refrigerators should be WHjjycoimiia carefully cleaned before using. Next, see that the drip cup at the bottom end of the drip pipe under the refrigerator is kept closed. If this is not done the air will enter the ice chamber through the drip pipe and thus melt the ice, thereby causing a great and useless waste of ice. It is important to look after this point.

Edison machines are everything the name implies and represent the highest attainment of scientific principles as applied to machinery. Many know this fact; yet no woman can realize and appreciate the wonderful improvements and advantages of the famous Edison Sewing Machine until she has actually run one. The Edison is Stan d a rd SXLcLSS tion, and the average person cannot tell the difference at sight between the best and the inferior. The name Edison is your protection against cheap, faulty mechanism in a sewing machine; for every machine that bears this name is genuine and perfect. There are certain well known makes of machines sold at high prices that will give good service, but none of them have the simplicity of construction nor the ease of operation that make the Edison famous—none of them have those late patented im¬ provements which make it so easy for every woman to do her own sewing. Prices Greatl y -Reduced And now, since we have formed such close re¬ lations with the manufacturers of the wonderful Edison and have agreed to take these machines in enormous quantities, we are announcing some startling reductions in prices. By selling these machines direct to you from the great factory we will save you all jobbers’, dealers’, and agents’ commissions and place in your home the best and most scientifically constructed and durable sewing machine on the market for less money than you would pay the average mail order house for some cheap trap that no one could operate and that would never give satisfaction. The Edison! Sent on Trial ”"^1^ will advise you not to get one of our machines on approval be¬ cause they know very well that if you get an Edison on trial you will want to keep it and that means a lost sale for them. You take no risk at all when you order either an “Edison” or a “Jewel” on 30 days free trial. You simply send us the first cash payment (which is required only to insure good faith) and we promptly forward the machine that you pick out. You take it home and use it for 30 days. Then, if you are satisfied with the bargain you begin to pay off the balance of the cost price in easy monthly payments. If at the end of the 30 days you are not satisfied with the machine, simply return it and we will give you back your first payment and refund freight charges, so you will not be one penny out on the transaction. UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS Names Furnished Upon Request Sedalia, Mo.. June 127th, 1908. “Everything came in good order. The curtains are just beautiful.

It runs so easy that I just enjoy the sewing work that I used to dread. I wouldn’t part with my Edison for love nor money if I couldn’t get another.” Mrs.- Marengo, Iowa, Sept. 2, 1908. “I think you are a pretty liberal firm to sell me that fine Edison Machine on time. My husband thinks it’s the biggest bargain we ever got for the money. It came all right, and you will get your money every month prompt. We like your way of treating customers. Mrs. - J Stirum, N. Dak., July 29, 1908. “I received the machine in good con¬ dition and it is as good as you described it.

THE PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO.. Per. - THE PEOPLE’S EASY WAY TO PAY BOOK 65 The “Tried end True” Jewel Sewing Machines FACTS VS. NOISE After all is said and done, it’s quality and efficiency in a sewing machine that you are looking for. The Jewel, the Edison and the few other high grade machines now on the market have no difficulty in making good their claims, and should not be classed in the same category wdth the inferior machines put up by many mail order houses only to sell at a cheap price. There is a tendency among imitators of the Jewel to overdraw and exaggerate the possibilities of their machines, in their futile efforts to make the people believe they are getting something ‘‘just as good as a Jewel.” With the single exception of the Edison, the Jewel Sewing Machine is the only well known high grade machine made that is sold direct from factory to user, with¬ out wholesaler’s or agent’s profit. THE TRIED AND TRUE complete and perfect ball bearing stand ever invented—with latest improved disc-tension, positive take-up, automatic drop lift, ball-bearing balance wheel—with head and all working parts larger and stronger and capable of sewing heavier materials than any other machine made—with the newly invented patented automatic equipment and hundreds of minor improvements, each one of which has been worked out and perfected after years of constant experiment—with all these ad¬ vantages in its favor the Jewel is now offered to you on easy terms of credit and at prices as low and lower than other houses charge for their inferior makes. Because of its wonderful improvements, which are of everlasting benefit to the operator, saving both time and worry, the Jewel is known far and wide as the standard of all sewing machines. Each succeed¬ ing year for the last quarter of a century has found new improvements in the Jewel until now it represents ‘‘perfection” in sewing machine construc¬ tion. When you buy a Jewel you are getting a machine with a reputation. It has been tried and found true. A PERSONAL NOTE I want to go on record as saying that our line of sewing machines is positively the best in the world, regardless of name or price. And I’ll guarantee that after you have bought one of our celebrated machines you will voluntarily declare it to be the finest, easiest running and best machine you ever saw or used. L. Wineman, President People’s Outfitting Co. THE JEWEL AND THE EDISON complete ball-bearing mechanism which increases the speed of operation from 18 to 20 per cent over that of any other machines made. The Head is the vital part of every sewing machine. The Jewel head is extra large in size, has a high arm and is made of the finest materials. No other sewing machine on the market, regardless of the make, price or name is equipped with so beautiful a cabinet as the Jewel. The cabinet work and finish are as fine as that of a piano and we guarantee them to be far more expen¬ sively made than other sewing machine cabinets now on the market. Order a Jewel today—it’s easy to Pay the People's Way. Ten Year Guarantee ^e guarantee every sew- “ mg machine we sell for 10 years, and issue a written binding guarantee in which we solemnly agree to make good any part or piece that gives out at any time within 10 years by reason of defect in material or workmanship. This guarantee issued by the People’s Outfitting Co. is as good as if it were made by the government itself, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that your machine is the best in the world at the price paid and that its quality is vouched for by the largest hdmefurnishing concern in the world, with a com¬ bined capital and resources of $10,000,000. You Need No Instructor to Teach You How to Use These Improved Jewel Attachments DESCRIPTION OF THE ATTACHMENTS A complete set of the finest steel attachments accompanies each ma¬ chine. All the latest inventions and improvements as applied to attach¬ ments are incorporated in this set and therefore their range of work extends over every conceivable class of work done on a sewing machine. They comprise: one tuck marker, one quilter, one ruffler, one braider foot, one braider plate, one shirring plate, one binder, four hemmers, one hem- mer foot and feller, and one plain presser foot. The attachments, like the head, are the simplest and most effective on the market. In addition to the above we supply the following accessories: one shuttle; one hemmer, which is also a feller; one package of needles, assorted sizes; six bob¬ bins; one oil can filled with best sewing machine oil; one quilter; one large screw driver and one shuttle screw driver; one large wrench. AUTOMATIC LIFT On our machines you will find represented two styles of automatic lift devices; one of these we call our automatic lever lift device. The make-up of this device is a steel rod about four inches long, which works on a cam, and With the raising of the lift brings the head automatically in position to sew. The underside of the lift makes a large, roomy table on which can be readily handled the bulkiest of wprk without any apparent effort or confusion. It is neat, simple and easy to operate, and very desirable in every respect. Our strap automatic lift is con¬ ceded to be the best of its kind on the market. We have given this lift a thorough test, and have succeeded in procuring a quality of strap which figuratively speak¬ ing knows no wear, but will last a life-time, and is so soft and pliable as to make the operation of this lift absolutely noiseless. The attachment is very simple, and any slack can be taken up by simply turning a thumb screw underneath the head. As in the lever automatic lift, the raising of the lift brings the head into position, and the underside of the lift then makes a large, roomy table on which the bulkiest work can be handled with the greatest of ease and with absolutely no confusion whatsoever. These two lifts are said to be the best from the point of mechanical construction that it is possible to get on a sewing machine. You will be greatly pleased with either one of them and will find that they will give absolute satisfaction, a life-time of wear, ease and comfort. These lifts do away entirely with the disagreeable feature of the antique hand lift on a machine where it is necessary to raise the lid and then lift up the head by the hand. This old style method meant that a lady had to lift at least thirty pounds, which is too much of a strain for any one. If you will try one of our automatic lift machines you will have no trouble. m || C B n The head is designed on beautiful symmetrical lines, pleasing nCHU to the eye and at the same time showing strength and simplicity. The enameled parts are handsomely decorated and the bright parts well nickeled. The arm is positively full height and length; the bed plate is flush with the table. The materials used in the construction of the head are the best obtainable. All parts are interchangeable. The construction is simple in the extreme, there being fewer pieces used in making this head than in any other high grade machine. All wearing parts are case hardened and are adjustable. The _ latest improvements, such as self-setting needle, self-threading shuttle, tension liberator, automatic bobbin winder; large, double, positive four square motion feed and spring shuttle carrier are combined in the head, making a light running, almost noiseless machine that produces a beautiful stitch. The head is all that can be desired in a good, reliable, carefully adjusted, high grade sewing machine. JEWEL PERFECTED BALL BEARINGS We have not slighted a single feature on our machines which would help make them the best that the market affords. Our new anti-friction ball-bearing device is a model of mechanical ingenuity and con¬ struction which is so delicately adjusted that there is absolutely no friction whatsoever. Each and every ball is fitted in a separate compartment so there is no possible chance for friction and no oil is required. This ball-bearing device is absolutely noiseless, light and even-running, and as an additional safeguard to simplicity and light construction, we have put on this ma¬ chine a steel pitman rod with a ball and socket joint so that this entire movement is rotary. The ball-bearing sewing machine is the machine of today, and will be the machine of the future. Therefore, in considering the purchase of a machine, one of the first considerations is to ascertain whether or not it is an improved model ball-bearing stand which will lessen your labor and make the operation of the machine a pleasure instead of a drudge. The Shuttle is made of the finest steel, cylindrical in form with opening at the end; is self¬ threading, perfectly fitted and uses a large bobbin. The Shuttle Carrier is fitted with a spring to prevent unncessary noise in running. The Tension Liberator is one of the convenient features of this machine, as by a slight pressure of the finger, work is drawn freely from the machine without breaking the thread, as the liberator releases the tension of the thread entirely. The Feed is of the most improved type “double-four” motion, drop feed, perfect and positive in its action, and produces a beau¬ tiful even stitch. In addition, there is supplied free with each machine, orte package assorted needles, bobbins, wrench, screw driver, oil can, oil, instruction book and our ten-year guarantee. We furnish free with each machine a ____ _ ___ handsomely illustrated 32-page Instruc¬ tion Book containing clearly written and explicit instructions how to operate the machine for every conceivable kind of sewing. We have made it possible for any one, with little or no experience, to satisfactorily work the machine and its attach¬ ments. Some of the special points treated are: general instructions howto operate the machine for ordinary work; how to turn a sharp corner; howto obtain perfect stitching; how to get the required length of stitch; how to oil, kind of oil to use, etc.; how to change the self-setting needle; how to thread the shuttle; howto remove the shuttle; how to wind the automatic bobbin winder; how to use the presser foot; howto regulate the tension; all about needles and thread; how to remove the work, etc., etc. Besides, detailed instructions with illustrations are given how to do hemming, felling, hemming and sewing on lace—one operation, tucking, bind¬ ing, ruffling or gathering, ruffling between bands, hemstitching, puffing, quilting, under-braiding and shirring. Remember this Instruction Book is free to every purchaser of a “Silver Star” or any one of our various grades of “Jewels.” INSTRUCTION BOOK 66 PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO., DETROIT, MICH i $ IE QflREDUCED lwi=From®17. 30 This is our Celebrated JEWEL SEWI NG MACHINE A GUARANTEED HIGH GRADE MACHINE WORTH $30.00 INCLUDING ATTACHMENTS FOR EVERY KIND OF SEWING THIS IS OUR REGULAR NO. 29E-991“JEWEL” 1800 LETTERS PRAISING This Machine are now on file in our office.

Jewel, Our price t V t | ,t 1 $28.50 THE PEOPLE’S EASY WAY TO PAY BOOK 69 The Wonderful Patented Improved EDISON Sewing Machine The great feature to be remembered in connection with the improved Edison Sewing Machine is that it can be operated by anyone. So remarkably simple and per¬ fect is the improved, patented mechanism that it does not get out of order and never requires the service of a repair man. There are few adjustments to make and every thing is so simple and up-to-date that even those who have been utter failures at sewing on other mach¬ ines have found the Edison machine one that even they could operate and on which they could do the finest kind of work. We illustrate on this page a few of the impor¬ tant features that go to make these machines the most perfect and reliable of any machine on the market, re¬ gardless of cost We claim, without hesitancy, that the Edison has no equal, not even by those machines which sell for twice and three times the price we ask. The Ball-Bearing Features ical ingenuity, making the “Improved Edison” the most genuine ball-bearing machine ever produced, hence the most perfect. in operative qualities, the lightest and easiest running and one that makes the least possible noise of any machine made, used or sold. The Head is Shapely, of perfect pattern,, designed l IIP nCCTU on thg i a test models of perfection. It is the largest and has the longest, strongest, and most satisfactory arm ever used on a sewing machine.

The face plate is made of highly polished steel, beau¬ tifully nickel-plated and embossed, and in connection with the nickel-plated auto¬ matic bobbin-winder, nickel-plated medallion, nickel plated upper tension, polished steel needle bar, and nickel plated hand wheel, furnishes the most handsome sew¬ ing machine head in the world. Inside mechanism of working parts is the most perfect in every detail. The main shaft and connecting parts are made of the finest case-hardened steel, highly polished with every bearing or wearing point ac¬ curately fitted and adjusted.

Full Set of Attachments Free Latest Improved Ball Bearing Mechanism. To meet the universal demand for Ball Bearing Stand, we have a d o p t ed the latest improve¬ ments in this feature, as may be easily seen from this illus¬ tration. It is the best on the market, runs quiet and swift, and its simplicity is one of the main points in which it excels all others. This view shows _ _tional view of the hub of balance wheel in which ball bearings are placed. The balls and parts are made from the best tool steel, case hardened and smoothly finished. All wear and lost motion can be taken up by the turn of an adjusting screw. The clumsy feature so common in most ball-bearing devices are entirely eliminated in this and we are positive the wearing qualities excel by a very great percentage those possessed by any other device known. Our Ball Bearing Stand positively produces the lightest running Sewing Machine ever Manufactured. The picture below shows box of attachments as it appears open. It includes the very best steel attach¬ ments, nickel plated and enclosed in a handsom e metal b o x. They consist of one ruffier, one tucker, one hemmer, and feller, one shirring plate one under¬ braiding plate four hemmers of assorted widths, one binder, one nickeled screw driver, one cloth pick and one spe c i a 1 at¬ tachment foot These attach¬ ments are the very finest improved de¬ vices and are far in advance o f the old fashioned complicated parts on nine tenths of other machines. They are extremely simple and easy to use and there is no kind of sewing that cannot be done per¬ fectly. Remarkable new devices for hemming, felling, binding tucking, quilting, brading, ruffling, etc. Latest Improved Edison Ball-Bearing Steel Pitman m J n he is p ^ { steel and works o n steel bear¬ ings at the upper con¬ nection and this advan- t a g e in combination with the regular ball bearing features of our machines make them lighter running than any other make on the market. This ball bearing steel pit¬ man is an Edison Improvement thatjs imitated by certain other manufacturers, but they cannot use our patents and consequently their products, are only imitations. “Improved Edison” Self-Threading Cylinder Shuttle A perfect cylinder steel shuttle open at one end, entirely self-threading, easy to put in and take out, holds a bobbin that carries a large amount of thread. There are no holes to thread through, no spring to thread under, no latch to open or turn, making it the most easily threaded shuttle in use. It is so simple that it can be threaded in the dark by two motions of the hand, forward and backward. The tension is even and perfect, and can be changed without removing the shuttle from the machine thereby; saving much time and avoiding trouble and annoyance. Owing to its sim¬ plicity it is impossible to thread the shuttle wrong. It is made of the finest steel tempered for wearing qualities, smoothly finished and tension regulated by a care¬ fully tempered spring. The opening is extra large with ample provision for the in¬ sertion of an extra long bobbin. TH@ Case The construction of the cabinet or wood work is known as the improved I IIC veneer process, which is the best known for sewing machine cabinet work. There are layers r.f wood in the table tops and in the bent covers. The joints are perfectly matched and the exterior is handsomely polished. The elaborateness and fineness of finish depend upon the price, as we show many styles. All drawer cases are of the skeleton frame style, which is the most popular and of the neatest, make. Drawers are strongly reinforced; locks and darwer pulls in varied designs. Edison Automatic Bobbin cut running the machine or inter¬ fering with the goods being sewed It is not necessary . to unthread the machine or disarrange the work in the least when winding the bobbin, a point certainly ’ worth considering; The device is so. simple that a child can operate it with ease. It winds the thread on the bobbin systematically, evenly and as regularly, as it is or the spool. The patent guide attachmeri pre¬ vents the thread from running over the ends of the bobbin, distributes evenly from end to end, putting more thread on the bobbin than can be put on by any other way. There are Bobbin Winders made to look like the improved Edison, but they lack those vital improvements that only the Edison has. 70 PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO., DETROIT, MICH.

A million sewing machines with their owners scattered through every state in the Union and every country on the globe. Results such as these are not accomplished by the average sewing machine manufacturer. A World-Wide Reputation attained through the making of an “ordinary” product. It’s the exceptional things that find their place at the top of the list; and Edison machines and Jewel machines lead all others in points innumerable. There are more of them in use—they contain more important improvements—and they do a finer quality of work than any other make. You don’t take any chances when you order an Edison or a Jewel—the names stand for all that is good in a sewing machine. We are the only concern in the country selling strictly high grade sewing machines on credit by mail at factory prices. We are the factory’s distributors of the famous Edison machines and also of the celebrated Jewel machines and by virtue of our immense contracts control the prices.

Each individual and separate part has been worked out by experts and the assembled machines represent that perfection which is attained only after years and years of practical experience. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended by the manufacturers during the past fifteen years in experimenting and perfecting the various different parts, with the result that our this year’s models represent the highest attainment of mechanical perfection.

Formerly regarded as a luxury, only to be indulged in by the wealthy, our liberal easy payment plan together with our remarkably low prices for this splendid article, placed it into immediate favor, so much so that at the outset our factories could not keep up with the demand. Whether you work in an office or in the field, in the mines or in the factory, no matter who you are or what you do, you do not know what real pleasure is unless you have experienced the feeling of genu¬ ine comfort in a large, roomy, reclining Morris Chair. A YANKEE INVENTION William Morris, a New England Yankee, is the inventor of the reclining Morris chair, and it Was named in his honor. It combines simplicity of construction with ease and comfort in a greater degree than any other chair. This was the aim of the inventor and that it was carried out most perfectly and to the greatest degree of efficiency by the maker of our line of “Fashion” Morris chairs, is a fact that has not been disputed. Spacious seats with superior spring construction, high backs and broad arms render our Morris chairs the most comfortable ever made. • You will never regret the purchase of a Morris chai^from us. This we guarantee. AS A GIFT No better or more appropriate gift can be selected than one of our splendid Morris chairs. For wedding, birthday and Christ¬ mas gifts it is unsurpassed. It is an arti¬ cle that will prove a joy forever, and one which the recipient will appreciate as long as life lasts. No better gift for combining pleasure with usefulness can be imagined. EASY PAYMENTS You may purchase a Morris chair from us and pay for it on such easy liberal pay¬ ments that you will scarcely notice tnat you are paying for it. Whether you in¬ tend to purchase one as a gift or for your own use, our liberal credit terms will prove a great convenience to you. By all means when sending us an order for other goods be sure to include a Morris chair. The additional first payment required will amount to scarcely anything and the monthly payments, in many cases, will amount to no more because of this small addition to your order. WHY OUR PRICES ARE SO LOW The price attached to each of the splen¬ did Morris chairs and rockers we show speaks for itself. Each represents the bare cost of manufacture plus a very small per¬ cent of profit. On account of the vast number used by us through the medium of our great distributing centers we are able to make and sell them cheaper than any similar concern on earth, and this is clearly demonstrated in the prices given for our cheaper as well as higher grade numbers. We save you from 20 to 33 per cent on each chair purchased from us as compared with any other house, cash or credit. “FASHION” DESIGNS A great many manufacturers copy our Fashion Designs. This in itself is proof that Fashion furniture is the standard 'of excellence. There is no “just as good.” We are the only mail-order house selling “Fashion” furniture. Remember, you may buy “Fashion” Morris Chairs from us at prices lower than you can buy the ordinary kind from other dealers. Therefore, why be satisfied with inferior grades ? THE CONSTRUCTION In the construction we use only the choicest kiln dried, air seasoned birch, fin¬ ished to resemble mahogany. Each piece of lumber that enters into the make-up of one of our Morris chairs is thoroughly sea¬ soned and kiln dried and the finish is of the most lasting and durable kind. Plenty of time is given for each coat of varnish to dry so that in the end we give Morris chairs and rockers we can guarantee, the finish upon winch will not crack or peel or get rough, a conspicuous fault in those offered elsewhere at our figures and said to be “just as good.” OUR RECLINING ADJUSTMENT is the simplest and most satisfactory made. There is nothing to get out of order and it is made of extra heavy triple place brass. It will support the heaviest weights and will last a lifetime. THE CUSHIONS are the most comfortable made with the choicest covering material, identical to that used on our best couches. Our double prong warranted steel tufting but¬ tons are used on all tufted Morris chairs. For a detailed description of the uphol¬ stering material used see full page intro¬ duction to the Department of Upholstered Furniture. WE DOUBLY GUARANTEE each and every Morris chair and rocker illustrated and described in this catalogue to be just exactly as represented. We invite you to order one on trial. x\fter receiving it in your home, examine it very carefully and if found unsatisfactory in any particular return it to us at our ex¬ pense and we will refund your first pay¬ ment and all freight expenses. We want you to be thoroughly satisfied with your purchase before considering the sale closed. DO NOT WORRY about freight charges. Our low prices permit of such a large saving that even with freight charges added you are money ahead. Remember, if you were to buy house furnishing goods in your own town from the local dealer you still would be paying freight charges, in the price of the article, or indirectly. This truth finds its best illustration in the manner in which you pay indirect taxes, that is, in the price of each article you purchase. So with freight charges. The dealer pays them for you when he receives the goods. You then pay them back to him when you purchase his merchandise. The better plan is to buy from us at our money-saving prices, and to pay the freight charges yourself, or directly. THIS FINE MORRIS CHAIR We will ship it to you on approval on receipt of 75c.

It’s a wonderful thing for people living in other cities, towns and in the country districts to be able to get this magnificent furniture at such remarkably low prices and easy terms. GrCat OffGr ^ wou '^ he Utterly impossible under ordinary conditions to of- -I fer a Morris chair of such exceptional beauty and quality at such a startlingly low price but for our enormous sales and tremendous mail¬ order trade. We sell our fine homefurnishings all over the United Spates— there’s hardly a community anywhere in America that hasn’t heard of our colossal institution. To emphasize our leadership in the making and mark¬ eting of furniture, we are cataloging these big Morris chairs at almost factory cost. We are making them in vast numbers so that all who order can be sup¬ plied. The demand for such a chair is almost unlimited and the big factory will have a special force working day and night so long as the flood of orders contin¬ ues to roll in. People can instantly tell the difference between this high grade chair and those usually sold at such a low price; and as many of these chairs as we sell, just that many customers will become enthusiastic over their bargains. We gain thousands of permanent customers through the many special bargains we offer. Solid Comfort. In all probability the strongest feature of this mas- - : -1 sive chair is it's comfort giving qualities. “Easy Chairs” are the kind most people want. Nobody cares to buy a chair for looks alone. You may want one that is strong and substantial or one that is handsome in appearance, but above all things you want it to be comfortable. It’s not the simplest thing in the world to make a thoroughly easy chair. It must have a re¬ clining back that is high enough to rest the head—it must have a soft cushioned back; deep seat, thoroughly upholstered on a spring foundation, so as to prevent sagging—it must be large and commodious with all it’s upholstering made of such fine materials that they will not become matted or out of shape. All of these re¬ quirements in addition to great strength are essential in making a thoroughly easy chair. This Morris Chair has --- ex¬ actly just such qualities as the above. It is indeed the most comfortable Mor¬ ris chair on the market today, as well as the strongest and handsomest ever sold at such a bargain price. Custom¬ ers are invariably delighted with this chair and letters containing such words of appre¬ ciation as those quoted below (from a cus¬ tomer in southern Missouri) are received by us daily: “Everything came all right. The No. 16L-200 Morris chair is a beauty. My nephew clerks in a furniture store near here and he said a chair like that would cost twice as much around here.” Til© Frame °f this genuine Gold me riqmc Medal Brand Morris chair is much better than you are accus¬ tomed to see in chairs usually sold for one- third more money. The oak is sawed so the beautiful wavy flake and grain shows off to best advantage, and the rich finish gives a most charming effect. The carving on the front posts is indeed a work of art and the massive carved heads on the arms are superb. Note how substantially the entire frame is constructed; how heavy and strong each individual piece is made. Im¬ proved indestructable spring seat con¬ struction holds the bottom cushion up in perfect shape and completes the soft springy effect, the equal of which is found only in the highest grade and best made upholstered furniture. The “Gold Medal Brand” quality is stamped upon this magnificent Morris Chair; and in every detail, from the casters op, the superior workmanship is conspicuous. The well known fact that Gold Medal Brand furniture is the finest furniture on the market is no better illustrated than in this splendid Morris chair. We are now exclusive Agents for “Gold Medal Brand” goods The Upholstering 73 O D-O is so even¬ ly laid and so generously padded that the cushions are extremely soft, resilient and comfortable. The back is beautifully tufted and these deep tufts are permanently held in place by the strong tufting buttons. The cover¬ ing material is the best grade of Sultan leather which is well known to everyone as the most serviceable of all coverings for upholstered furniture. You will recognize at a glance that the Sultan leather used on this chair is not the ordin¬ ary grade, but a very superior quality, rich looking and black. It will outwear anything except hide leather and by most people is prefer¬ red to any other kind of covering. It is used on the finest upholstered furniture. The Design. It is unnecessary to state that this design is one of the most --- handsome of all Morris chairs. You can see from the illustra¬ tion that it is unusually beautiful and you can depend upon it that the chair itself is exactly like the picture. The illustration is made from a photographic reproduction and is a faithful counterpart of the chair.

You know well enough, if you have ever bought any lace curtains, that coarse, poorly woven lace is unsatisfactory and will not launder properly; that it soon wears full of holes and spoils the appearance of the whole room. You know all these things very well; and that’s why you will appreciate cur¬ tains like ours, that will wear well and look well, and stand washing time and time again, and as often as you want to clean them. You will appreciate the unusual quality of our curtains; and you will notice, first of all, that the threads are finer and twisted closer so as to give greater strength; and that the fine mesh is perfectly woven so the lace will not stretch out of shape like it does in the common grades of curtains.

That’s our policy. We do not want our customers to think that they buy a “cat in the bag” and take chances on being fooled. We have been selling carpets and rugs for nearly thirty years and we know all about these goods. We know how they are made and we know why some are good and some are bad, and this knowledge, gained by long years of careful studying, enables us to avoid buying anything that wouldn’t stand the test of time. When we guarantee a carpet or a rug, you can be sure that we know all about the quality, because a large concern like we are could not afford to put its guar¬ antee upon unreliable merchandise. This Profit Goes fo You Why We M ihe Mosi I Read What _A Few of Our Customers Sa y Even if our regular profit was as big as other mail order houses we would still be saving you this 25 to 40%, when you buy your carpets and rugs here. But as a matter of fact, we never charge as much profit as other concerns because our long experience enables us to do business with a smaller expense, so that in every case our customers benefit and the saving that we make at both ends goes back into the pockets of those who buy from us. Now you can see plainly why we do such a tremendous business. People have com¬ pared our carpets, our rugs, our linoleums, our oil cloths, our mat¬ tings, with those sold elsewhere; they have tested and tried them in every manner and form in which this merchandise can be tested and tried. And when all is said and done, when all comparisons have been made, none dispute our suprem¬ acy, none question our ability to un¬ dersell all competitors. Mt. Auburn. Ill., June 3. 1908. Kind Sir.—I received my carpet and liked it fine. Mrs. Cecil Arnold. No. 6 Madison St. Adrian, Mich., May 26, 1908. Dear Sirs:—Enclosed lind Two Dollars ($2.00) for monthly payment on Ax- minster Rug, Number 27E- 111. The rug was safely re¬ ceived and I am highly pleased, Mrs. Wm. L. Heitz, Whenever you find one concern doing the largest business in its line, there is a good reason behind that concern’s success. It is very import¬ ant for you to know this and it is to your advantge to buy from the biggest concern, because you can be sure that people wouldn’t keep on buying from them year after year, and increasing their orders all the while, unless this concern was giving its patrons more for their money, and better for their money, than can be gotten elsewhere. Thousands of customers have written in to us saying they didn’t understand how we could sell such high grade carpets and rugs at such wonderfully low prices, and our answer is that we couldn’t if we didn’t sell so much. Now we will just explain the proposi¬ tion to you, dear reader, and let you judge for youself, as a fair minded person, whether or not it will pay you to buy here. It’s this w T ay. Carpet and rug manufacturers have only two seasons, Spring and Fall, and the rest of the year they haven’t enough business to keep their plants running. Now we go to these manufacturers and contract with them to take all the goods they can make in the dull season, pro¬ viding they do not charge us a profit over their expense of doing busi¬ ness. In this way the manufacturer is enabled to keep his help, keep his machines running, pay his rent and break even, though he sells us the goods at just what it costs him to make; and on the other hand we buy our carpets aud rugs at prices that are always 25%, and often 40%, lower than any other dealer or mail order concern in the world pays. In other words, we save the manufacturer’s average profit. Galeton, Pa., May 27,1908. Please find enclosed Post Office money order for $3.75 pay merit on rugs and curtains.

Justassoon as this is paid for I will send you another order, but do not want to have too much to pay for all at once. Mrs. Albert J. Sherman You Get Variety When a concern sells many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of floor coverings, as we do, naturally it re¬ quires an unlimited stock.

We sell more of these goods than any other mail¬ order concern on earth. We are exclusive agents in America for the famous “Tiger” and “Sultan” Rugs (and represent the Mills direct throughout our entire magnificent line). Honest Representation We give greater value to each square inch of carpet than any other concern in existence. Our grades are just exactly as represented—they are genuine and you can depend absolutely on the pictures shown and the descriptions given in this book. Highest Quality A carpet or rug may look well when it is brand new and yet its fine appearance will be only temporary if the quality is not there. We have guarded against the use of inferior dyes and yams by our exacting requirements of the great Mills. We have required them to install special machinery in order to produce a superior weave that will withstand the hardest wear. By this splendid process and the use of the choicest yams, the fabrics from these looms are the finest in the world, possessing that wear-resisting quality not found in any but our own. Honest Prices To all we sell at factory prices—no middlemen of any kind get profit on our goods. We defy any concern in the world to equal the low prices on the same quality of goods as are shown in this department. Don’t be fooled by catch prices on shoddy goods. It doesn’t pay to buy floor coverings that will not stand the test of time. Our carpets and mgs have real quality—they have lasting quality as well as rare beauty. Rich New Patterns The beautiful patterns shown in this book cannot be surpassed. Many of our styles are exclusive because our contracts often include the entire product of certain looms. We combine our orders for our great city stores and our immense mail-order institution and get the very choicest patterns and the richest and most beautifully blended colorings that can be produced. The Color Illustrations give our customers an exact idea of the handsome designs and rich colorings of the carpets, mgs, draperies, etc., we handle. The pictures are so perfect in every detail that you can see just how the carpets, mgs, linoleum, curtains, etc., actually look. The goods themselves look even better than the pictures, so that you are sure to be more than pleased with your bar¬ gain. In ordering always state catalogue number. Waste Prevented The reason we can cut carpet with so little waste is that we have several rolls in stock all the same, of the various patterns and grades, and by cutting several rooms of the same pattern together, we do away with much waste, thus making a saving for our customers. We allow 6 inches on each width of carpet, where it has to be cut and matched to fit a room. That amount provides for 3 inches to be turned under on each end which makes the carpet lie better and gives the tacks a better hold when the carpet is laid. All ingrain carpets will shrink a little when cut from the roll, so the amount we allow is right. No carpet can be cut just exact on the thread and laid right. If that is done, the carpet will be too small for the room and has to be stretched so that it is liable to pull apart and wear out more quickly. It’s a good idea to send a diagram of your room, showing all the projections and giving all the dimensions. Send enough money to cover first cash payment. When we have figured out your diagram and amount of carpet actually used we will give the exact cost. As a rule there is bound to be some waste. Free Sewing For sewing and matching plain carpets without a border we make no charges. For making carpets with border our charge is 5 cents per yard. We guarantee to sew and match your carpet absolutely perfect. Carpet Samples Free We will gladly send samples of any grade of carpet you may wish to purchase.

Note. All floor oil cloths are priced by lineal or running yard, and those fur¬ nished by us come in two widths—1 and 2 yards. Naturally a strip of oil cloth measuring 1 yard wide will cost ]A that measuring 2 yards wide. At all events always indicate width wanted, and always order by catalogue number. Read Carefully—Important fl fl i iorr. 6 INCHES instance, for a bordered carpet 10 feet 6 inches square (see diagram), 14 yards c border will be required (net.) To find out how much of the carpet will be required for center of this size rug, deduct 3 feet 9 inches from the width and length, which will leave 6 feet 9 inches square to be covered with carpet, or three breadths 2% yards long, equaling 6% yards. Thus a bordered carpet, 10 feet 6 inches square will require 6% yards of carpet and 14 yards of border. To this should be added 1 % yards to allow for waste in matching the figure. Any square room can be figured out in this manner. If the room is odd shaped having a bay window, fire place or offset, send a sketch giving all measurements. Our complete Carpet Table showing the actual number of yards required for different size rooms for plain and border carpets. It includes waste. This List comprises all the different makes of Carpets, such as Ingrain (36 inches wide), Tapestry Brussels, Velvet and Axminster (27 mches wide), plain or with the border. We wish to draw your attention to one fact in ordering carpets. When youx room is 13x15 feet, and you wish an Ingrain carpet 36 inches wide, you will notice that we have to use four widths 15 feet long; that will leave one foot of your room uncovered. Now in order not to waste two feet of carpet the entire length of your room, we simply split one width in two, using only one-half width, as our table for carpets shows you below. Again, we take this same room, 13x15 feet. In case the widths of this carpet could be run any direction in the room, by using five widths and running the lengths 13 feet long, you would not only save carpet, but the widths would fit in exactly, as five widths of 36-inch carpet make exactly 15 feet.

MICH. Send for Our Catalo g of Organs, Pianos, Talking Machines and Records We are proud to offer here, the celebrated Weimer Piano, the famous Mozart Organ, and the great Victor Talking Machine. These days, when so many cheap, worthless instru¬ ments are being offered at ridiculous prices, and when so many catch schemes and questionable offers are being made, it does one good to feel and know that there is at least one place to turn for a good honest square deal; where a really fine organ, piano, or phonograph can be bought on a generous, liberal, fair, honest, easy-way-to-pay- plan at the lowest price for which anything worth while can be bought. On the following pages, we show our leaders in high grade instruments and you will do well to select from these pages. We publish a separate musical instrument catalogue containing our complete line and if you require a bigger variety to select from, send for it at once. We will mail it to any address FREE upon request. Our Great New Offers We have reduced the price of the famous Weimer Piano from $185.00 to $170.00. This makes the Weimer the grandest piano value in existence. You will wonder how we have been able to make such an enormous reduction in the price of the world’s best home piano. Here Is the Reason Why We have stopped sending pianos on free trial. Such a scheme may be necessary for concerns selling unknown makes and pianos that have no reputation and which are unreliable. Of course the plan is to get the piano in your home. After you have paid the freight charges and gone to all the expense of hauling the piano the chances are that you can be forced into keeping the instrument rather than go to all the trouble of packing it again and hauling it back to the railroad station, and re-shipping it. Our new plan does away with all this nonsense. It also eliminates the expense in connection with shipping pianos to unreliable people and to many other people who simply take advantage of the free offer and have the piano sent to them with no intention of keeping it. Now, you know just as well as we do, that any dealer or mail order house must figure in the expense in connection with such risky business. They must figure in what it costs them for freight on pianos that are returned and the damages done to the instrument in transit, and there are hundreds of other items which they have to figure in the cost. There was a time when we thought it necessary to do these things, too, but we have come to realize that with a piano of such world-wide reputation as the Weimer we can sell all the factory can make, to reliable people who are willing to pay for their piano, if it is satisfactory, and who can afford to send us the small first payment which is all that we ask as an assurance of your good faith. When you consider that we only require a payment of $5.00 you will know that our plan is just as liberal as ever, but you will also understand that we do not intend to send out promiscuously, to all sorts of unreliable people on free trial, a high grade standard instrument and run the risk of some people not even having money enough to pay the freight on it. It is true our credit system is intended for the work¬ ingman; but we are too friendly with the working people to want them to go into debt for something they can’t afford to pay for, and if a person cannot send the $5.00 first payment in advance they certainly could not pay the monthly installments and we do not wish to get people into debt and to make trouble for them afterwards. Endless thousands of people who own Weimer pianos will tell you that they have no equal and now that the price has been reduced to $170.00 you should not even con¬ sider any other make. The Weimer is the piano for you, for your home, for your children. It will last a lifetime. It is the equal of any $300.00 piano on the market and must not be compared to the ordinary cheap mail order piano that is sent broadcast around the country withopt any money down, and on which the margin of profit is so great that the sale of one piano pays for the loss of two other instruments. So our advice to you is to buy a first class piano now and you will have no regret in time to come. Our Fair, Honest, Easy Terms According to our new plan you really get the easiest credit terms in the world. You take no risk and we take none, because you are honest and we are honest, and we pledge ourselves to satisfy you in every respect or return any money you have sent us, and pay all the freight. So you must be absolutely satisfied and pleased with your in¬ strument or it doesn’t cost you one penny tcu send us only $5.00 cash and we ship the piano to your. station. After you have used it for 30 days on approval, and have come to the conclusion that it’s the best piano made, then you begin to pay the balance of the cost price at the rate of only $7.00 a month. We sell organs and phonographs on equally attractive terms. You get real value for your money from us, and it’s easy to pay the People’s way. THE PEOPLE’S EASY WAY TO PAY BOOK 189 Something About tjie Construction Of Our Famous Instruments The Weimer Piano The Construction of the Weimer Piano is based upon _ _ years of experimenting and study in the endeavor to evolve an absolutely perfect instrument, and the fact that the greatest pianists in the world, concert players and pro¬ fessional teachers in every country highly recommend the Weimer, is proof enough of the high degree of perfection which the makers of this piano have attained.

C ONSISTENT with our established policy of list¬ ing only the highest grade of goods at the lowest possible prices, the line of Steel Ranges, Cook Stoves, Base Burners and Oak Heaters shown in this catalogue are positively of the very latest models and the best to be obtained for the money anywhere in the world. When we go into the market for the purpose of purchasing the hundreds of car¬ loads of stoves to be sold in our ten great house furnishing stores scattered through out the country, and for our immense mail order house, we order certain grades of stoves from one manufac¬ turer noted for his efficiency in turning out that particular grade; then we order other grades from others and so on. WE BUY THE BEST FBOM EVERY MAKER We have a marked advantage over every other dealer in stoves in the country. We are the most extensive dealers of stoves and ranges in the United States and our heaters, stoves and ranges offered in this book rep¬ resent the best products of the largest plants in the world. We pride our¬ selves that we do not manufacture our own stoves, and we tell you why: The stove industry is a peculiar one. There are no two manufacturers that excel in the same line. Each and every one of the greatest manufacturers of the country has developed abnormally in some particular direction, and because of certain abilities and advantages has made extensive discoveries and secured exclu¬ sive patents on certain scientific improve¬ ments which have established their plant as the greatest in the world for some one particular kind of stove. How can the concern, with only an ordinary factory, attempting to make everything from a small gas stove to the largest base burners and steel ranges, expect their products to compete with the most improved and perfected in each line? Our stove experts are m constant touch with all the great manufacturers— they know where to buy each different kind of stove, and because of their in- tinlate relations with the manufacturers, growing out of our power as the largest buyers of stoves and ranges in the United States, they are able to get special favors in the way of new improvements which are reserved exclusively for our stoves and not found on any others. This is the reason why we hear nothing but the most generous praise re¬ garding our stoves from customers in every state. It’s Easy to Pay— THE STOVE CEHTER OF THE WORLD Detroit Michigan is the greatest stove market in the world. There are more stoves manufactured here than in any other city in the world and it is here that the largest stove plants in existence are located. Having our headquarters in the center of the stove market of the world and being, ourselves, the largest sellers in the U. S. of stoves and ranges direct to the people, we are looked upon and recognized as the logical leaders in the stove trade of this country. It is very evident, therefore, with these manifold advantages—with no freight to pay from factory to warehouse— with everything in our favor, that our prices are much lower than those of all other concerns, not to mention the great superiority of our stoves and the many new and exclusive improvements which they possess. QUALITY FOR QUALITY, PRICE FOR PRICE OUR STOVES ARE THE BEST MADE Remember, when you buy any certain stove from us you are getting one that has been selected from the greatest factory in the world making that particular kind of stove. You are getting the latest and most improved features that is possible to incorporate in such a stove—you are getting one that can be depended upon absolutely to give the greatest possible satisfaction. We ask nothing less than that you compare our stoves, and the prices we ask for them on terms of credit, with those of any other concern engaged in the retailing of stoves on a cash basis or otherwise. Order one to your home, and if you find it does not give satisfaction in every particular—if you find that it is not the greatest value to be had for the money, we will cheerfully refund your first payment (which we require merely as an evidence of good faith, and which does not close the sale) and will return to you all freight charges you may have paid. By this means you are fully pro¬ tected. All the prestige and resources of our great organization are behind every assertion and statement made in this catalogue, and our double binding guar¬ antee goes with every order. We do not permit any sale to be considered closed until you are absolutely satisfied. Read our guarantee bond, a copy of which is printed on another page. It is additional guarantee that the stoves described in this catalogue are just as represented. the People’s Way 196 PEOPLE’S OUTFITTING CO., DETROIT, MICH. & a People’s Outfitting DETROIT, MICHIGAN GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY We hereby certify and guarantee that the . .sold to Ad¬ z's thoroughly first class and reliable in every respect.

The _ Marvel” steel range shown on this page is not made in the same foundry where our .‘Beacon” line of stoves and ranges are produced, and in fact it would be impos¬ sible to induce this big manufacturer of fine ranges to lower his standard of quality to the point where "Beacon” ranges could be sold for as low a price as $11.65. We are not like other concerns that describe their cheap ranges to be "made of the very finest mater¬ ials and by the most skilled me¬ chanics” becausq such is not the case, and you will find that what¬ ever we say about any of our goods is absolutely true and can be thoroughly depended upon. DESCRIPTION OF THE“MARVEL” The main top and covers are constructed of good stove plate so that with ordinary care it will last for years. All parts are care¬ fully fitted so as to allow for heat expansion. The Body is made of cold rolled steel plate of heavy gauge strongly and accurately riveted, so that all connections are tightly bound. The high warming closet is of generous proportions allowing ample room for keeping several dishes of vegeta¬ bles, meats, etc. , warm at one time. The Fire Box is of good size, has an easy-dump grate that works perfectly and will give splendid service for a light grate. Grate is fitted to burn either hard or soft coal. The Oven is of the latest square type and is a very satis¬ factory, quick, even baker and is furnished with a steel wire oven rack and convenient clean-out directly under the oven door. The oven door is of splendid design as the picture shows, being of a late rocco pattern. It is steel lined; is perfectly hung and fits snug to the body of the range. The Reservoir is made of galvanized iron and heats by direct contact with the end of the range. The galvanized iron used is of heavy gauge and will not rust or corrode. Reservoir is packed inside oven for shipment, but it is easily attached to right or left end of range. This reservoir, of course, will not last as long as the heavy reservoir that is built on our famous Kitchen Queen” steel range which we quote on the next page of this catalog. REMEMBER N ° matterwhat stove or range you order from this book you will get exactly what you pay for in full value received; and since a steel range is an article that receives much use and is bought to last for years and years, we earnestly recommend —- of our “Beacon” line of ranges in preference to this our “Marvel” steel range.

We blame the manufacturers who make that kind of box stove, and the dealers who sell it, because they are not dealing fairly with their cus¬ tomers—they are reducing the quality in order to cut the price.
