There is no reason for us to tell you all about our past, you know it better than we do ourselves. The main thing you want is the greatest amount of good and up-to-date merchandise that you can buy for the least amount of money. Now we are here to fill your wants and give you good, reliable goods for a little bit less than you can buy the same elsewhere. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating/’ Now, unless we can give you as good merchandise, just as good quality and a larger variety to select from, then, and not until then will we take a back seat or take our hats off for anyone. * You all know we do as we advertise and in fact go a little farther. We have the goods, also the quality, and our variety is second to none in the state. Our prices we know beyond a doubt are lower than any house in Northern Indiana. Come to this sale, see for yourselves. We will show you if you are from Missouri or any other State in the Union, that what we say are facts and that we have the goods to back same up, besides the prices. Come everybody. Very respectfully, * E. V. RANSFORD, Proprietor 99c Racket Store, Rensselaer, Indiana. We give away Valuable Premiums when your purchases amount to five, ten, fifteen or twenty-five dollars and when you return or bring back anything, and want the money, we shall expect the tickets as they represent cash to us. We will exchange all seasonable goods or staples at any time, without the tickets if in as good condition as when bought. Do not ask us to break the above rules as we cannot do so with anybody. YOUR MONEY CHEERFULLY REFUNDED if goods are returned in as good condition sold, within a reasonable amount of time, if not satisfactory. All we ask is for you to return the ticket you get from the register.
