SEPARATE DEPARTMENT
FOR ADVERTISING.
There should be an advertising
department in every business
firm, presided over by some capa
ble man. The importance of the
work demands that it should be
handled as carefully as any other
part of your business. It should
no more be neglected than the
cash account. It is one of the
most important features of your
business and helps make trade.
Don’t confuse this important
phase of your business with some
of the lesser matters that are
regarded as necessary evils, as
it were, for there is no evil in j
anything that brings business to
your store. Give your advertis
ing thought, time and push it
for all it ;s worth. It will pay
you. —Helena World.

ARE YOU SURE YOU OWE IT?
You have had bills presented that you thought you
KSd paid, or for goods you know you had never
bought. Nobody but a Bill Collector realizes the
number of disputed bills there are the first of the
month. Of course, it’s somebody’s mistake. Goods !
are often charged to the wrong customers; the mer
chant failed to credit your account when you paid
him. No matter what the reason, you don’t like to ;
have these things occur. Just try the Cash Plan in
'the future and avoid all the objectionable features of
the credit business.
You pay a big interest for all che “accommoda
tions” you get at the credit stores. Even when you
pay cash at a store doing a credit business, you
have to pay Credit Prices. The merchant charges
the losses from “bad accounts” to his cash cus
tomers by doubling his profits. That’s the only way
he can keep even. It pays to pay Cash.

. KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal, ^
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualify considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all. I
