GREAT MID WINTER SALE!

La RUE BROS BIG DEPARTMENT STORE!

Every good store keeper goes through his stock at least once a year and disposes of Merchandise that he has no further use for. This is the ideal time, just after inventory to dispose of all last season’s goods, all broken lines, and sizes and sell them for what they will bring. This is the case at this store and for the next month you will be able to buy more goods for less money HERE than you have ever been able to buy before anywhere. For this reason and for the reason that we must make room for the largest stock of Spring Goods ever brought to Rensselaer. We think we are justified in buying heavy for spring, having had the largest year’s business in our history by one third and we expect to do more business the coming year than we have the past. We ask you to look over the quotations here given and we are sure you will see that it is greatly to vour advantage to avail yourself of this opportunity to buy seasonable merchandise at these prices.
