HAVE JUST PURCHASED ONE OF THE LARGEST STOCKS VCZOF CHINA EVER BROUGHT TO THE CITY OF RENSSELAER. OVER 11,500 WORTH OF GOODS AT FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR WHICH WE SHALL PUT ON SALE AT THE SAME PRICES AS WE BOUGHT IT AT, ONLY CHARGING A SMALL PER CENT FOR OUR TROUBLE. Now, ladies, from far and near, if you are looking for bargains, you ought not to miss this sale. If you want fine China, we have it. If you want the medium ’ kind, we have it. If you want the common kind, we have it. And we have it at prices you never will get a chance to duplicate. No matter where you go, you can not beat us on this deal. We have been “laying” for just such a lot of china and have just landed the same. Remember the day and date of sale. Beautiful imported, hand painted and fancy china at less than 50 cents on the dollar. Come, everybody, to this great sale. You will be surprised at the quality, quantity and cheapness that you ean buy the same. A few prices are shown herewith. Hundreds of other articles too numerous to mention. Come and see the grand display. Nothing like it. Every lady buying five dollars worth of goods while this sale lasts will receive a present of a beautiful Japanese cup and saucer, worth twenty-five cents, absolutely free. We have beautiful pictures, fancy rugs, fine china, which we give as premiums to our customers for their trade. We do not charge you a cent for them. If we do not sell the same goods for less money or more and better goods for the same money, we do not want your trade, and besides the beautiful premiums which you get by only saving your tickets which you get with every purchase, no matter how small. They are valuable and careful buyers look after ithem. We handle almost everything, and that little something which no one else keeps can always be found

here. You should come here first —but then it is better for you to go elsewhere so you will see how much lower our prices are when you do come, besides “what a difference in quality,’' you will remark at the first glance. “Why, 1 did not know you handled auch a large variety, besides the quality is far superior to the stores down the street and the prices are one-third less anyway. Ido not see why I did not know of this place before. I feel like kicking myself for being so stupid.” How many times have we heard just such remarks as we have quoted above. We have been here going on eight years. It is high time that everybody knew the RACKET STORE by this time. Of course there has been a great change in the last five yearsMany an old customer has moved away and new ones have not yet got on to the ropes. They will get on to them after they pay a few fancy prices for their goods, when they could save | by coming here. We expect in the near future to put in a line of groceries and to take butter and eggs; we will allow you the highest market price for eggs now if you bring them in.
