Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 March 1915 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Remember this public sale is from 10:30 a. m. to 2 p. m. By reading the advertisements in The Democrat you will get a fair idea of the special reductions all along the line that will be made by the various merchants and tradesmen of Rensselaer for this sale, and will readily see that on many of the articles offered they will lose money or barely break even. The object in giving this sale is to reach out and draw trade from a greater territory. Or, rather, to secure new customers in the territory adjacent to this city, and to get more people in the habit of coming to Rensselaer to do their, shopping. The idea is to treat them right when they come here and to prove to them that then can save mnoey by making this city their trading point. If you have not been in the habit of doing your trading in Rensselaer, come here tomorrow and bring' your neighbor with you and let the merchants prove to you that it is to your interest as well as theirs to make this your trading headquarters; that it will pay you to come many, many miles to the “Best Town on the Monon,’’ to buy your supplies. Rensselaer is accessible by improved roads from practically all sections of the country within a radius of 25 miles or more, and a little run of 25- miles or 30 miles via automobile is a pleasure as well as a money-saving proposition. -
