SELF EVIDENT FACTS FOR
•*#..
CARPET BUYERS
The people of Terre Haute and vicinity are aware of the fact that we have decided to largely increase oar carpet trade. We are enabled to do this without adding a single cent cent to our business expenses, as it will be done in connection with our large Dry Goods trade.
What it nsually costs to sell 50,009 worth of carpets Yearly rent of building in which the business is carried on $1,20!) Yearly living expenses of two partners 91,500 each, 3,000 Two salesmen, each with yearly salary of about 1600 1.200 Advertising and other printing expenses 3T0 Fuel, gas and incidental expenses 800
Total.
It will thus be seen that it costs tne ordinary carpet dealer 912 for every $10* worth of carpets he sells, and that if he selja a bill of goods at |90 which cost him SO}, he actually looses |3 on the transaction. You cannot expect to buy carpets at very low prices under such circumstances. Now for the contrast.
What it will cost Foster Bi others to sell *00,000 worth of carpets: For rent of building 900,000 Living expenses of proprietors 00,00# 8alesinen to sell carpets CO 000 Advertising, printing and other expenses 00,000 Fuel, incidental expenses, etc 06,000
Total ...» 900.000
Look at that Picture, then on this!
It costs Foster Brothers nothing to sell carpets. It costs a regular carpet hou*e 12 percent.
WHY IS THIS SO?
Because Foster Brothers are under no additional expense by reason of their keeping carpets. They use the same building in which they do their large dry goods business, and so have nothing to pay for rent. The clerks they have to sell their dry goods also sell heir oarpets, and so they are at no expense for help—and so with the other items of expense. Besides all this, they have constantly in tne New York market a buyer who pioks up tbe handsoms# styles as soon as they appear in the market- This is why the styles of their oarpets are so much superior to those usually found.
We are selling thousands of yards of the best 2-ply Extra Super oarpets at 76a You can't buy them anywhere else for less than 85c and 9JO, and you will find many merchants still asking $1.09 for them.
We sell a large line of Tapestry Brussels at Ale, and over 60 different styles of Standard Brussels at 75e. Thesa last are sold in Chicago and Indianapolis at 11.06 per yard. Full line of Body Brussels. In cheap carpets we oan show you a good line at 15c, 18c, 30c. New styles 9-ply at 25c, .10c, 36c. Extra heavy all wool 2 plj SOo yer yard
We are catting prices more than ever this spring en Dry Goods and Carpets.
