RECENTLY ORGANIZED
STORE GREAT SUCCESS
Business Rules New to Santa Fe Win
for New Store Remarkable
Trade.

Even in the face of much skepti-
cism as to results by both proprietor
and public, w. N. Townsend and COM
pany last spring established the Rack
ct store at 224-22G San Francisco
street. The new business was opened
1lnGer rules new to Santa Fe, among
them being infallible rules to buy
and sell for absolutely spot cash and
one price to all.
But it was not long ere the COM
pany was fully satisfied that the Ge-
parture from the old established rules
long in vogue among Santa Fe busi-
ness men was going to win out and by
purchasing a new stock of goods and
a system of displaying and showing
the stock as far as possible along
the lines of modern, up-to-date stores
in the east, it was soon demonstrated
by actual results that the plan had
been a wise one and the promotion
and inauguration of the enterprise a
judicious and far-sighted one.
In many respects the Racket store
is a departure from what is common
ly implied in the term racket store.
Mr.. Townsend does not confine his
K business merely to five and ten cent
goods and cheap, shoddy stuff. but
instead he carries complete line OF
up-to-date goods. He has art novelties,
notions, staple piece goods, shoes,
hats, Queensware, sheet music, light
hardware, stationery, ladies' and
gents underwear, Edison and Victor
\ monographs, etc, little Of all but nc
complete line in anything.
The new company has just passed
through it's first Christmas trade and
it was three times what was ant'cl
pated. This excellent holiday onsi
ness reflects great credit upon tbs
new institution showing that the peo
pie of Santa Fe already have conf
dence in 1t and this will incite the
management to make renewed efforts
to continue to be worthy of the con
fidence and patronage Of the people o.
Santa Fe and vicinity which has beer
worked up in so short time.
MI. Townsend has been actively en-
gagged in business in this city fo1
twelve years and has been prominent
" identified with the growth and pros
perity Of Santa Fe during that time
and has great confidence in It's future
as shown by the launching OF such al
enterprise as the Racket store.

Tommy was great favorite with
the children. He had made himself
q snug little mud house under the
moss covered rocks on the shady
side of the fountain.
Early every morning he would lean
into the basin and splash about In
the water. While drying himself In
the sun on the grass he caught flies
and worms for his breakfast. He
would then leap back to his cool little
mud house under the messy rocks and
go to sleep until sunset
As soon as he spied light In the
house the children would hear his
voice croaliing from among the deep
grass near the porch.
Tommy was very fond of singing
Roses sweet voice seemed to espe-
cially charm him. When she sang
he would Immediately hop up on the
porch and remain listening at the

How the children did laugh to see

Cousin Charlie thought II would be
a great joke to sing funny negro
song for the musical froggies.
After the first few strains the four
