We take great pleasure in announcing to the people of Rensselaer and Jasper County THE OPENING OF OUR NEW STORE ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER the Twenty “First In making our debut to Indianans, there are just a few things that we would impress upou you: . 1 1 ' 11 ■ JS) WE have now three stores—one in New York City—another in Illinois—and the other here in Renselaer. Our Illinois store was founded by our Mr. Traub some twenty-odd years ago, and a reliable business house, doing a good strong business, is the result. Then a few years ago we opened our New York store, doing on the same honest principles in a modern up-to-date way, offering the best and newest mer- ' chandise at reasonable prices. Our Rensselaer store is to be operated on exactly the same lines as our other two stores, and is to be a duplicate of the New York store. We have a buyer who lives in New York City and is in a position to buy merchandise for our store at less than other merchants have to pay, owing io the fact that our chain of stores provides us with a great outlet for merchandise, and we give you the benefit of the extra discount that we obtain. We guarantee you three things: up-to-date and reliable merchandise, one price and that the lowest, and last but not least, honest and courteous treatment.
