How Much Salary Do You Get?
That Is a very important question when you go to figure up
what your expenses are and how much you will have spent after
all itcce.vsarle.s arc paid for. You probably need some few pieces
of furniture and after ynu have bought them of U. A. Jones you
will not have to pay for them only as you are able say nt the rate
of two or three dollars per month. Consider this matter! There
nre thousands of persons buying this way every day and you may
as well be getting the benefit of easy payments us they. If you
have never tried this plan let me show you how easy it Is to pay
for Roods you really need and you hardly miss the money. You
can furnish your home at U. A. Jones and pay by the week or
month as suits your convenience.
