BIG TRADE WEEK ANNOUNCEMENTS BY RENSSELAER MERCHANTS SAT.

Saturday is the day! Are you ready for it? Saturday the first gun of the Mg co-operative Fare-Refunding sale will be fired by The Republican when it will make formal announcement of the merchants participating in the great trading event which will start Saturday of this week and will be continued until the following Saturday, inclusive. . One entire section of The Republican tomorrow will be given over to the announcements of the merchants who are participating during the sev-en-day sale and who in addition will refund fares on the co-operative plan to all out-of-town purchasers. This big trade week offers opportunities to people living in and around Rensselaer that are rare indeed. With the plan as outlined it' will be possible for people living within a radius of 25 or 30 miles of Rensselaer to come to this city and trade without their car fare costing them a single penny.

Every merchant participating in this big trading event is making special preparations in every department of his store, and a general sweeping price reduction sale will ensue throughout the week. This is the way the enterprising merchant feels about the affair: He feels assured that the proposition to pay back fares to out-of-town trade will be attractive enough to bring a large volume of the trade into town, and he is willing and anxious to secure that patronage which means new life to his business. To do this he is willing to be fully content with small profits that week,the balance being met by the fact that new trade has been secured, which will be continued during the months to come. So the buyers are favored o ways: They get fares back and they get the most attractive values. The Big Trade Week edition of The Republican . published in connection with the sale tomorrow will be well worth waiting for and preserving. The full particulars as to how fares will be returned will also be published in the edition tomorrow. Here is a list of stores which will participate in the sale and refund fares on the co-operative plan: The XL E. Murray Co., Dept. Store. Rowles & Parker, Dept. Store. Hilliard & Hamill, Clothing.
