ROWLES & PARKER, NEW DRY GOODS FIRM. „ i i ’■ ODD FELLOWS ANNEX. OPPOSITE COURT HOUSE. Opening Day, Saturday, Dec. 20,1902 In opening up this store to the public we wish to acknowledge our allegiance to and dependence upon the will and wish of the people. We are going to strive to make this a perfect store and shall leave nothing undone to that end. We are going to lead in our line. Nothing but an inspection of our store could convince you of its superior quality. With our many years of experience both in retailing and wholesaling, knowing how and where to buy the best goods for the least money, why should we not be able to give the people of Rensselaer and surrounding country better bargains than they have known before? High quality, one price only, SMALL PROFITS, LOWEST PRICES FOR EQUAL GRADES, AND SATISFACTION OR MONEY BACK, claim your Custom. Well, what do We carry? Nothing but an inspection can prove to you. Nobody would think of starting a fine new store without carrying everything of special convenience to ladies. It is not what we may say that will make this store a good place to trade, it is what you will find here at lower prices than you will find elsewhere. Come in Opening Day--we don’t give souvenirs but we do give Bargains. * “The New Store” - ROWLES & PARKER.
