THE 99c RACKET store It is a Strain It is a strain for you to look for bargains in other retail stores, where they are few and far between. If is easy for you here, where the Bargains are so plentiful that wherever you turn they are looking at you. We handle goods you pay une, two, three and as high >«£ r as five dollars for and sell the same for 99 cents and less. Our Holiday Stock is the most complete and up to date stock that was \|/ ever brought into Rensselaer. You can come very near finding what you want and without very much trouble to yourself and without paying any fancy prices for the same. You will miss if you are not one of the many Customers here through this month; when you get to see what your neighbors purchased for 99 cents and less you W will kick yourselves for the next month because you paid three and four times as much for the same goods somewhere else. Be wise once in your life and do not let any WF notions keep you trading.at the same old place. Look around. Be up to the times- Get your eyes open. You may find out that a change of pasture might make dollars for you. A Few Bargains Will Not Come A Miss. Boys’ Overcoats Boys' Suits...

Be sure and get one. iTA^ Parties wishing can come and make their selections now or at any time they wish, and have the same laid away by ppying a small deposit on same and pay the balance when they get the goods. us It would be better for you and us if you would do as stated above, as we are so limited for space and you would avoid the rush and it would be a pleasure for you to buy now. The largest stock for the same amount of floor space of any store in the state. The largest variety of goods and the lowest prices for the same class of goods of any house in th§ state —we will not exoept one. That is \|f iwL putting it plain but nevertheltss it is a fact which proves itself by our many patrons from different parts of the state whiob will certify to same. It is like baying yoar goods at wholesale. We are knocking the catalogue houses in the head by selling the same goods for the same money or better goods for less money, Yon will learn in time that the 99 cent Raoket Btore can and does sell goods yr cheaper than any catalogue house in the city of Chicago or elsewhere. We hbve not got the army of olerks and the expenst? of the enormous ofiy rents to meet that they have therefore we can sell cheaper and get better satisfaction, as you see the goods and no freights or express to pay. Anything wrong can be fixed up at once as we are always ready to do the best we can to have our cuetomers satisfied. Save your bills with each sale —they are valuable. Get one of the nice premiums which we give after your purchases amouut to a oertain amount. Do not forget the place.... W THE 99 CENT RACKET STORE, Washington Street. . RENSSELAER, IND.
