The Billboard 1908-04-11: Vol 20 Iss 15 (1908-04-11)

. The Billboard APRIL 11, 1908. LOOK INTO THIS I have been in the Cone business from the start. I have made a wonderful success of it. My success is entirely due to the fact; first, that I have the proper machines, and, secondly, because I have the information that brings results, and when I say to you that Sayso Ovens and Cupolas are absolutely the best procurable, I mean that I will refund your money if you do not find this to be true. The sale of Sayso Ovens and Cupolas is constantly on the increase. Is this not proof that they are making good? Better join the ‘ranks of the successful people—the Sayso people, that you will find in every part and parcel of the inhabited globe—ask any of them and decide for yourself. The Cupolas shown, operate over any gas, gasoline, oil, or alcohol stove, and the prices are: ONE, $8.50; TWO, $14.50; THREE, $19.50; F. 0. B. Shipping Point. erms—Half cash; balance with the order. I give you a 40-page book of instructions, explaining everything from A to Z. I pe you all necessary tools and the biggest and best outfit of signs and other advertising matter that has ever been produced in connection with the Cone business, and if you hook up with me, you will be an absolute success in this most wonderful and fascinating business. Send for a copy of my Catalogue B4s. A. T. DIETZ, 127 Michigan Street, TOLEDO, O, I also keep Cupolas in stock at my branch offices as follows: NEW YORK CITY, 302 W. 36th Street.
