The r ■ This store’s trade is con^tansly expanding and enlarging and now extends into six counties. I Stock, in every particular, is never allowed to fall below the high standard anticipated by patrons I scattered throughout this section of the State. Banta’s is a ^tore with a reputation, and this reputa- 1 tion is always maintained, no matter what the co^t. It is maintained by keeping at the highest I point of excellence a complete tftock in all lines, by the superior quality of the goods and by scrup ulously honest methods in dealing with the public. Because of the size of our ^tock, its strong points, and the magnitude of our business, we feel that this is a store that can afford to advertise ex tensively and inform the public in regard to the splendid wares offered for their inspection and pur chase; so we have secured a half page of The News for the remainder of this year, for the sole pur pose of having a medium tb-oagh which to disseminate information about our goods. This will work to the mutual advantage of this ^tore and its patrons. The &ock is here—we want to sell it—believe the people want to buy—we are going to keep them informed in regard to the &ock so they can buy intelligently. There are hundreds of dollars worth of goods here which we are unable to display for lack of room in the &ore. Possibly they are just the things the public wants, but does not know they are here in 4tock; so it will be the purpose of our advertising to tell a plain, honest, unadorned dtory each week about our rftock—naming the goods and giving brief descriptions of them, so that any person after reading one of Banta’s advertisements will have clear and corredt ideas of the goods advertised. As a matter of course, the greater part of our rftock must be seen to be appreciated; as the beauty of jewelry, watches, silverware, china and decorated ware cannot be transferred to paper or painted in printing ink. This week we note, in the briefed* manner possible, the various lines in our stock. Jewelry and Watches. Varied assortment of everything included under this head. Ask for what you want. We’ve got it or will get it. Watches priced at #2.5Q and up. The standard movements so low that almost anybody can afford to own a fine watch. , Cut Glass.
