Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 April 1859 — AN EXTERPRISING FIRM. [ARTICLE]

AN EXTERPRISING FIRM.

It is with pleasure we call attention to the firm of Thompson & Son. During these hard times, the firm has gone on making money. They understand their business, and deserves to succeed. The secret of their success is, they know the benefit of liberally advertising. They have heretofore put a half column into the Gazette, but finding how well it paid, they, this year, put in a column. They make their money By selling an immense am >unt of goods in a year, the result of keeping their business prominently before the public. As a proof of this, we have only to say that, notwithstanding the hard times, th y are now erecting a fine store building of their own, while one member of the firm has purchased a dwelling within the last year, and the other erected one for himself. The fact that they are so succeesful is also a proof that the public have found out that they sell their goods at reasonable rates. We record their prosperity with pleasure, and long may it continue.
