The n. Y. RACKET STORE
Is Jam Full Of Desirable Dry
Goods and Notions
AT STARTLING PRICES.

n AK ] HuuVN GAnS1os
An Inspection From our Lady Friends
Is All W. Ask!
1T was truly gratifying to us to hear the
favorable criticisms of our goods last Saturday,
and Judging from the amount Of goods custom
ers bought. these criticisms were emphasized
substantially. To buy from US in the manner
in which they bought, shows clearly that our
goods and prices were right!
The crowds that focked to the Racket last
Saturday reminded us of the first few days of
the Racket Stores life, when it was regarded
by almost everyone as a miracle to buy Dry
Goods at reasonable, legitimate prices. Things
have changed since those days and w are still
in the lead with our low prices, and the out
look is especially good for us the present sea-
son. We attribute our success, however, to the
confidence inspired in the people by the lone,
low price," and from the fact that we are THE
BRIDGE that carried them over. 1t makes no
difference whether you be an enemy Of ours
or not. the New York Racket Store stands as
a safeguard and protection to you as we'll as it's
