Because what you save on one purchase here helps you to make another; Because your dollar lives longest at “The Racket;” l Because we prefer to sell as low as we can rather than as high as we might; Because we will sell you anything used in ordinary life—if we h'ave not got on hand what you want, we can and will get it for you for less money than anybody else; Because here you will find odd wants at odd prices; Because you can’t afford to trade anywhere else when you can buy so much lower here for just the same article. We know that our competitors claim that our goods “are seconds,” “are trashy,” “are inferior make,” etc., etc., but if you will take the trouble to investigate ypn will find all these claims incorrect, and that we sell me same article from 20 per cent, to 50 per cent, lower than these same competitors charge you; Because we will sell you a 10c Lamp Chimney for 5o a 8c Lamp Chimney for 3c a 35c Suspender for. 16c a 40c Tin Pnil for. ,250 Our “s«y aj” don’t make It a • • -16° J* 65c Enameled Preserve Ket..3sc so, but our goods make our a 30c Set of Water Tumbleis..l3c “say so” so. • 'a 30c Buggy Whip f0r....... 12c a 75c Suit Underwear for 550 “ . a 20c Pkg.
