A NEW ENTERPRISE! IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY! ~ _ £___ • , . 1 , _ ~— ■ - \ - ' « , * LOOK OUT FOR THE ENGINE WHEN THE BELL RINGS OR WHISTLE BLOWS I • Those who claim to be posted say that the construction of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railr ad through Rensselaer before the first day of January, 1876, is V ■ <>\V> v?? _ vF ~~ Should this be true, the future of Rensselaer will be brilliant indeed. Surrounded as it is by excellent lands for agricultural purposes there will be an unprecedented influx to county. This will make business lively and times easy. With his usual discrimination, Mr. A. Leopold, in order to anticipate foreshadowed events and make himself master'of the situation, bought AN IMMENSE STOCK OF Dry Goods, Clothing &c„ WHILETHEY WERECHEAP! At no time since the war has there been such a decline in all kinds of Dry Goods as has been observed this fall. Mil. LEOPOLD has not only been able to take advantage of this circumstance, but he has also secured the additional inducements and discounts offered to cash buyers. People who have not yet bought their Winter Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Gloves, Mittens, Shawls, Flannels, Blankets, Furs, &c., will consult their interest no doubt by making their purchases of Mr. Leopold who has opened his goods for public inspection, as they will have the advantage of a complete and brand new stock to select from. At Leopold’s Corner! .■ \ ; ’ J T ; ' The long experience, sagacity and acknowledged judgment of Mr. Leopold insured the selection of an excellent stock of cjoods; while his enterprise, liberality, shrewd business, tact, and his ambition to excel will prompt him to share the fruits oft those advantages with his customers by giving them low prices. -A.joiax’O'pria-te Holiday Presents. There could be no more appropriate holiday present for a member, of your household than a set of furs, a dress pattern, a new hat, a pair of boots, a pair vs slippers, a pair of gloves or mittens, a shawl, a scarf, or any one of a thousand other articles to be found—and for sale very cheap- —at Leopold’s new store. - In these hard time? it is necessary for all to curtail their expenses and live as economically as possible, and for this reason people that do their trading ih Rensselaer should not in the future complete their purchases before they have called at Leopold’s new store, in the building popularly known as Leopold’s Corner, in the room recently occupied by Mas. Halstead’s Millinery Store, corner of Washington and Van Ransselaer streets,! opposite McCoy & Thompson’s Bank A. LEOPOLD.
