Rumors that the F lent had been ser injured qui started, nd the extent of the accident was mag- | nificd as it spread through the depart- ments.

The points dis- cussed are whether br not there is injury to justify the action and whether suit can” be brought in the Supreme Court. The Attorney General's brief contains the following statements: A corporation organized for the purpose of creating a monopoly is organized for an unlaw- ful purpose and should be dissolved. This cor- poration has been in existence only three years, and vet with such celerity has it proceeded that it now, as shown by the complaint, has no com- petition in the State and is supreme in its con- trol of every branch of the metal industry.

And you can pay us back little by little in unfelt amounts. Then you can go to one of the first-class furniture stores, with whom we have made special arrangements, where the stock is big and fresh and -where satisfaction is certain, and when you have made your selection you can pay your bill in full with good hard cash. Isn’t this better than buying in the installment stores and being compelled to select your goods from smaller and inferior stocks? The installment stores charge you ten per cent above their cash prices when you ask for long credit. All you pay us is six per cent. For example; 1f your purchases amount to $100.00 we will charg’m $106.00—which is a six per cent advance; the®Wyou pay us $20.c0 cash and the balance in monthly payments amounting to $8.60 each month. If your purchases amount to $75.00 we will charge you $79.50; you make us a cash payment on this of $15.00 and pay the balance at the easy rate of $6.45 per month. You save four per cent. You have the great privi- lege of buying in a first-class store, and yet you get all the advantages of the easy payment plan as offered by the installment houses! ) ' No amount of money is too small for us to loan.
