Word is reaching Rensselaer from the outlying sections showing that the residents of the different towns in this section are on the tiptoe of expectation over the forthcoming cooperative fare-refunding sale to be conducted by the Republican and a number of the merchants of the city, which is to open next Saturday and continue for seven days. A woman reader of the Republican from Gifford who called at the office Saturday to renew her subscription, asked many questions about the proposition and declared that a number of women in that vicinity intended to “kill two birds with one stone” by visiting relatives and friends in this Vicinity and doing a lot of necessary shopping at the same time with the assurance of having their fares to and from Rensselaer refunded to them. This Big Co-Operative Fare- Refunding sale will offer opportunities to people living within a radius of twenty or twenty-five miles of Rensselaer such as they have never had before. With the plan as outlined it will be possible for people living anywhere in this section to come to this city and trade without their carfare costing them a single penny. This will be without a doubt the greatest trade event ever held in Rensselaer or anywhere in this section of the state.
