STEPHENS PRICES ARE GUARANTEED

The following communication from the Stephens Motor Works was revived by H. J. Hoist, cf tire Hammond Auto Sales, in answer to a wire sent fcy Mr. Hoist regarding the permanency of Stephens prices: Hammond Auto Sales, 48-50 State street. - Hammond, Ind. Gentlemen With all the facts In hand, we know that there can be no general reduction In automobile prices within any period In sight, but we think. that it would be extremely dangerous to come out with a general announcement that our prices will not be lowered prior to Jan. 1, or to any other named and specific date, for the reason that the natural conclusion in the mind of the casual reader is that there " ill be a reduction jn prices immediately after the named date. For this reason we have thought it unwise to make any such .general announcement. However, we are willing to concede that -in, order to . meet squarely the argument of the prospect that prices r-tay be expected to reduce in the immediate future, we are willing and here by do place. in your hands a guarantee that the Mollne Flow company will not reduce the price of the Stephens car before Jan 1, 1321. We think that no general announcement should be made, and that this guarantee should be used sparingly and only in answer to the argument of a particular prospect that prices may be expected to recede.' , Finally, where this guarantee is used the distributor must advise us in writing of car number, date of sale and name and address-of purchaser. Tours very truly. II. J. LCO.VAr.D. General Manager. Ifoline Plow Company Stephens Motor Works.

SOME electric washers LIFT AND DIP the soiled fabric to a tub of sudsy water. And it is a good method. OTHER electric Washers ROCK AND TOSS the soUed fabrics to and fro in sudsy water. And IT is a good method. THE A-B-C ELECTRIC LAUNDRESS DOES BOTH. Rapidly it alternates these good methods. And so it combines their advantages.

"Time to Re-tire' "Eventually, Why Not Now?" Only because the A-B-C leads among washing machines do these nationally advertised slogans of America's leading products so aptly fit. Let your electric laundress be an A-B-C. Be satisfied with nothing else. It's the Most Efficient Electric Washer The A-&-C Super-Electric combines EVERY "worth-while" feature of other makes with several exclusively its own. Here's the proof.
