The Anna Britton Dramatic Company will give One of their choice entertainments at tlieCout House in Rensselaer, nexf Monday evening. It will be remembered by many of ‘.he Republican readers that Miss Annie Britton visited Rensselaer last winter, with Breyer's Dramatic Troupe, and that their exhibitions were well patronized by our citizens. This Troupe is equal to Breyer’s in every respect, if tot superior. At llCmington, Kentland and Goodland they attract xl large audiences, and our exchanges are loud in fherr praise. Tire Annie Britton Troupe is said to be the best company of this kind traveling. Remember the time and place Next Monday evening, at the Ctiirl House ift Rensselaer. We never could see the policy or good common sense in doing work for nothing.— An attorney of this place showed us 250 colored busines cards that he got printed in a neighboring town so 75 cents. The blank cards alone cost the fellow n arly as much ae he charged for the job, and just wherein the fun comes in printing and furnishing ink and labor for 250 cards, we are unable to see. When a man cuts prices do’wn below a living price, be alone is the looser, and not those fiom whom he draws custom. As for us, we have our regular prices for all kinds of work, and if if the people do not wish >o pay them, they can go elsewhere, as all efforts to “jew us down’ prove a failure. There is a principal that should govern a legitimate business, as well as the money that is in it.— Remington Record. The cards referred to by the Record were printed at this office. The cards cost us—well, we have two brothers in Chicago who are “busted higber’n a kite,’’ and they send us the cards for a mere song. However, be that as it may, we will print calling, address and business cards at corresponding rates with the above, over which the Record grows so eloquent. We have a full stock of cards of the following varieties: Glass, Repp. Damask, Marble, Snowflake and Granite, of all tints and shades. Send in your order's.
