You start out to look at the var ious makes. In the first store you come to, they will evade the question altogether 'when you ask the terms. On the other hand, they will question you, with a view of 'inding just how much you can pay. In other words they will try to get the highest ti.irms you will agree to pay. At the next store you visit, when you have found an instrument of grade and quality to compare favorably with the Columbia, you will be aisked to pay from ten to twenty dollars cash and ten or twelve dollars a month with .interest added. , WE TRUST YOU Now come to our store and see the Columbia.
