THE BIG STORE Grand Fall Opening, October, 1898. RENSSELAER’S MIGHTIEST BARGAIN EVENT! We invite our thousands of customers to a feast of bargains and to see the largest and best selected * stock ever before brought to this city, at the CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE. THE MORE WE SELL THE CHEAPER WE SELL. Sales the last year were double any previous year, which will enable us to now begin the Fall trade with a determination to totally eclipse all former low prices and make a new price record 20 to 30 per cent, below all competition, and this sale the supreme money-saving chance of the year N T o Rents to Pay, and buying in carload lots and by the case for Spot Cash, and selling for Spot Cash, means goods as cheap as many small dealers can buy them. This sale is not confined to the few articles advertised, but covers every department in the house of 3 floors, 50 feet wide by 108 feet long, filled with choice, seasonable goods that required two dray wagons hauling evely day for the last three or four weeks.
