A CHALLENGE:
$300 TO CHARITY
Are you a Methodist, Eaptist or Hebrew, or are you Interested In obtaining a donation for each of the Or
phan Homes of these denominations?
If so. we will tell you how to get it.
We, claim that as the largest Jobbers and retailers of Gas and Electric fixtures South, that we buy our Chan-
dellers 60 per cent cheaper than any concern In Atlanta that claims to manufacture fixtures can or does make
them.
We will donate 5100 to each of these asylums if what we claim is not true, or we will donate 5200, under
the same conditions, to each one if any concern will donate 5100. If these are facts.
HOW TO DECIDE IT
Each of these denominations to select one responsible representative, who. In connection with one repre-
saptstlvq selected by us. these four to select hs manv a* three r;a« ■>> Kieotii.- chandelier- from our show win
dows, No. 66 Peachtree St., or three from our stock and three from any other concern who will claim they can
manufacture fixture* within 80 per cent of what they cost us.
Then this committee of four to keep accurate cost from start to finish of the concern whq will attempt to
manufacture these fixtures In competition with the price at Which we buy them. The cost to be taken of the ran
inaterfnl. casting, spinning, stamping, polishing, finishing anil plating, aa well as the labor.
We won't even count running expenses and rent. After this Is arrived nt. and they have seen the fixtures
made, compare this cost with our Invoice book, and If tt does not amount to GO per cent moro than our actual
cost, then we will donate the amount as agreed.
We have been in the manufacturing business 37
years, and have found that concerns with hundreds of
thousands of dollars, who manufacture goods for every
prominent dealer In every city of the United States, can
make them at half the cost of small concerns who have
have not capacity enough to supply one town.
There Is a moral to this.
We either need a law to regulate advertisers on the
came order as the pure food law, or else there Is 3300
ehsy money here for charity.
Regarding Tungstolier fixtures, our regular price for
type No. 8000 Chandelier has always been; 2-ltght, 34.50;
3-llght, 36.00; 4-llght. 37.50.
We have never asked more. This Is 33 1-3 per cent
cheaper than others sell them. We can do this because
we buy more In a month than any concern In Atlanta can
make In two years.
tt you want to buy first-class Gas or Electric Chan-
■dellers. the latest designs, fixtures of merit, at the right
prices, don’t buy until you see our stock, then If you can
beat our prices on the quality of goods you can be satis
fied that you have gotten your money's worth.
That we sell 90 per cent of the best residences I* a
proof that our goods and prices are right.
We are making some very attractive prices on-Hard-
