JAY W. WILLIAMS

Furniture and Carpet House.* "Enterprise” is a good trade mark for any house to adopt that has shown the ability to cater to the tastes of the public with the success that has accrued to the above gentleman in his business career. This attractive, modern furniture emporium with its varied and extensive stock, is one

of the most important factors in the trading center of our agricultural community. Rensselaer is fortunate in possessing the extensive, up-to-date furniture and carpet establishment conducted by Jay W. Williams on Washington street, directly opposite the court house. The building occupied is large and roomy and filled to its utmost capacity with a well-selected stock of furniture for all purposes and a full line of carpets, oilcloths, rugs and mattings. The quantity, quality and variety of goods carried by Mr, Williams, the attractive manner in which they aye displayed, the courteous and prompf attention shown to patrons warrant us in saying this is a store where the people can deal satisfactorily and can come as near getting just what they want at living prices as at any similar establishment of this kind in the state. Mr. Williams’ reputation as a reliable and prcgressive merchant is established and requires no comment at our bands.
