There are no commercial enterprises
that add so much to the Importance of
town as do the modern department
stores. Ellinwood is not behind other
places in this respect, as may be read
lily discovered In a visit to the extensive
establishment of the above named firm.
The store may be said to be the neat
est and best arranged In the place and
the stock carried would be a credit to
many towns of much larger size. In
dress goods, fine ready made clothing.
and furnishing goods, the house has
long been considered a leader while
the grocery and other departments
each come in for their share of admir-
alton. The trade of the house is large
and the stock in all lines is kept con-
stantly replenished so that goods are
always fresh, bright, new and up to-
date. The individual members of the
firm, Frank RAIDER and Nicholas Sprink-
er are each highly respected by the.
entire community and are regarded in
commercial circles as having been sig
nally successful. The latest improved
cash carrier system is employed, being
the only one IN Ellinwood. The busl-
ness is conducted on strictly cash
basis which enables the firm to quote
prices and offer bargains to be found at
no other store in Barton county. EN-
