A. J. SUIT
The Racket Store.

Probably no one business house In
Richmond has shown more progress,
nor advanced to a position in the
front ranks more rapidly, than the
Racket Store Starting about eight
years ago, in a very small way across
the street from where it is now located,
and under the firm name of Suit &
Bratton, it has each. year increased
the stock and volume of business, un-
til today it compares favorably with
similar stores in the large cities.
About seven years ago the Racket
Store moved TO its present quarters,
and two years ago A. ]. Suit pur-
chased his partners interest, and
since then has conducted it alone with
much success. He carries a very
large stock of wooden-ware, willow
ware. china-ware, glassware, enameled
ware, tinware, stationery, crockery,
novelties, toys, post cards, albums,
dolls, light hardware, lamps, baskets,
window shades, toilet sets, toilet arti-
cles, pocket books, games, etc., and
large variety of other useful articles
and novelties too numerous to men,
ton, but which must be seen to be
appreciated.
A department devoted to five and
ten-cent goods is worthy of special
notice. and it is astonishing the many
desirable goods that are displayed for
sale at this low price,
The Racket Store is a business pc
culiar to itself and carries a line of
goods tht are entitled to more than
passing mention, and is well worth a
visit.
The Racket Store is located at 112
East Main street.

w. H. DOUGLAS G. SONS
Meats and Groceries.

w. H. Douglas and his two sons, w.
H., Jr., and A. H. Douglas, are the in
dividual members of this well known
meat and grocery firm, and they have
been in their present location since
February last.
w. H. Douglas, the seniod member,
has been in Richmond since 1876, and
in the meat business for twenty-seven
years, and is one of the best judges
of cattle in this part of the country.
He has always been interested in the
schools of Richmond, and since 1893
has been a member of the Board of
Education, with the exception of about
one year, when business kept him in
Garrard county.
w. H. Douglas & Sons deal in fresh
and cured meats, and carry a general
line of staple and fancy groceries,
fruits and vegetables, country produce,
etc. They have their own slaughter
house and kill and prepare all they
sell, so that nothing ever leaves their
market but what is right in every
way.
In addition to their city store, they
conduct a farm of three hundred and
fifty acres at Red House, where they
raise tobacco and corn in large guam
titles, as well as some stock for mar
ket. Their store is at 124 East Main
street, and all purchases are delivered
~ their own wagons.
