Send Out Invitations To All Your Friends

They Can Kill Two Birds With One Stone During Trade Week by Making You a Visit and Doing Their Shopping at the Same Time.

The suggestion has been made that The Republican’s Big Co-Oper-ative Sale from Saturday, March 9 to Saturday, March 16, be made a - -$■ homecoming affair as well as a trading event. It will be a splendid opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. People can come to Rensselaer during this big sale and do their shopping and make a visit at the same time. So, let your invitation and slogan be, “Come to Rensselaer to shop and make us a visit. Shout it so loud it can be heard for 20 miles in every direction. Write it in every letter you send to a relative or friend residing within a radius of fifty miles of this city. The suggestion is a good one and The Republican wishes to encourage the movement among all its readers. The special inducements to be offered by the merchants participating in this big trading event will certainly be sufficient to recompense all who take advantage of them. Over 20 of the leading merchants are making special arrangements to show residents of the surrounding territory the advantage of coming here to trade. There is no city in the state where trading can be done more advantageously than in Rensselaer, and in quality, variety and general up-to-dateness of her stores, Rensselaer is superior as a trading center to cities several times her size, Remember the fare of every out-of-town customer who comes here to trade will be refunded. Rural residents who do not travel here via the railroads will have an equivalent of their fares refunded also, so no one will be discriminated against because he does not happen to travel by rail. And remember also you will not have to trade any certain or definite amount at any one store. Trade where you please, with any of the

merchants on the list, and when you are through present your refunding slip at The Republican office and get the price of your fare. Store* Participating in Sale.
