We take great pleasure in announcing to the people of Rensselaer and Jasper County, the Opening of Our New Store on ' ' . ■ . . . SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER the TWENTY-FIRST In making our debut to Indianians, there are just a few things that we would jike to impress upon you: ■ + 117 E have now three stores —one in New York City—another in Illinois —and the other here in, Rensselaer. Our Illinois store was founded by our Mr. Traub some twenty-odd years ago, and a reliable business house, doing a good strong business, is the result. Then a few years ago we opened our New York store, doing business on the same honest principles in a modern up-to-date way, offering the best and newest merchandise at reasonable prices. Our Rensselaer store is to be operated on exactly the same lines as our other two stores, and is to be a duplicate of the New York store. We have.a buyer who lives in New York City and is in a position to buy merchandise for our store at less than other merchants have to pay, owing to the fact that our chain of stores provides us with a great outlet for merchandise, and we give you the benefit of the extra discount that we obtain. We guarantee you three things; up-to-date and reliable merchandise, one price and that the lowest, and last but not least, honest and courteous treatment. The Ladies as well as the Gentlemen are invited to Our Opening.
