Are You Familiar
WITH OUR
lO PER CENT
Coupon Saving Plan?
H not, you should investigate, the plan is this, when you buy furniture on weekly or monthly payments, and make your payments at the store,
[In this way you are not annoyed by the collectors calling). We pay you for each payment made at the store—a coupon worth 10 cents on
every dollar. When your account is paid, these coupons are worth their full face value in trade at our store. We realise that this is a big per
centage, and we have paid out several thousand dollars in this way, but it has decreased our collection expense and increased our business.
