THE HOOSIER SPECIAL
SAVES MILES OF STEPS
FOR TIRED FEET
We have heralded the coming of the Hoosiers for some time, and much interest has
been shown in their arrival. Monday we begin enrolling members in the Bryan Kitchen
Cabinet Club.
These clubs are formed in all the leading cities by the Hoosier representatives, for the
sole purpose of allowing people to buy one of the celebrated Hoosier Kitchen Cabinets
exactly like picture at the club rate of One Dollar at the time of entering your name, and
ONE DOLLAR A WEEK
for a few weeks. In other words, until the full
price of the cabinet has been paid.
This club should not be confused with the in
stallment plan, as it is under the direct supervision
of the Hoosier Manufacturing Company of New
Castle, Ind., the largest manufacturers of kitchen
cabinets in the world.
Anyone upon entering her name in the Hoosier
Club receives the immediate delivery of the cabinet
to her home, where it will begin at once to save
hundreds of steps each day.
Next Week Only
The club will be open to members and is limited
to 25 members, so if you wish to secure one of the
cabinets at the club rate or One Dollar a week, you
should enter your name at once.
The Hoosier has a separate place for everything
used in the preparation of a meal, and will earn its
cost many times over in the hundreds of steps and
material it saves.
If you wish to know more about the Hoosier
Cabinets or the Club plan, our demonstrator will
be pleased to give you all information.
