A PlainTalk about the LittleThmgs You Buy
SS5E5SSESSSS5ESSS55SEESEESSS5ESSES5555SSS555SS5SS3SSS^^
ff They are the Biggest part erf your expenses when figured up at the end of the year. Then why not
if save money on little things? You can find almost any little thing you want at the Racket Store, oppo-
site the Hereford Hardware Co.'s new budding. A few moments are sufficient to convince yourself that the
Bargains are FACTS, not bluff. The 5 and 10 cent counters are especially interesting. There is a large as-
sortment of Queensware on the road which is expected to arrive any day now, that will b: sold as cheap as you
can get them from any mail order house in the country. Before you send your next order come into the Racket
Store and investigate. You'll save the freight and breakage besides being able to examine the article in your
own hand before buying it. It will also be to your interest to look over the stock of 2nd hand goods. There
are many articles of Furniture, Stoves, etc., as good as new at prices which you will admit are bargains.
I Buy any kind of Second Hand Goods you have to sell. It is mv intention to give every one a Square Deal and cour-
teous treatment, customer or not. If you don't think you get it, kick, and I'll see that vou do.
