RANSFORD’S .... ... Department Store ... There is only one genuine bargain house in Rensselaer, and that is Ransford’s Department Store—you have got to show us. Where is there a merchant in Kensselaer that has given you bargains lilce we have? They are scarcer than hen’s teeth, and you all know it. We do not care what our competitors say or do —we are running the greatest bargain house in n i? r l ern lnd i ana ’ and y°u can depend upon our giving you the greatest values, the best quality that money can buy for the least amount of money. We like to have our competitors talk about us; it is the greatest advertisement that cad be bestowed upon us. You can always put it down in your cranium that they are jealous of us or they would be dumb and saw wood. We have too much business to attend £o, to bother ourselves about others —that is the reason we continue to grow and get larger every day —from a little 5-and-10c store to the largest store in Rensselaer, in the last 10 years. There’s a Reason. Watch our windows for the greatest bargains ever put out in the city of Rensselaer—we defy anyone to produce their equal. Talk afyout 5-and-10c stores doing business—they are not in it with Ransford’s. Remember, I have been buying goods for twenty years, and if I do say it, I can buy goods cheaper than any other merchant in city, and in fact, as cheap as anyone in the state. I pride myself on my buying powers, or I never would have been in business in Rensselaer today. “Goods well bought are half sold,” is true, and when anyone tells you they can buy cheaper than we can, you can put them down for typical liars from wayback and not to be trusted. We talk plain, but the iruth should be spoken at all times.

OUR DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT Is complete in every detail as far as the common wants of everybody are concerned.
