ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Citizens of Rome and
Floyd Connty.
A Few Pointers on How and
Where to Purchase Good Goods
at Low Figures.
By the above it will be seen that the
Hill City pime store, whose fame has
■ 'wofthily become a familiar name to the
ear of every citizen of our fair city and
surrounding country at large, at 8 o’clock
this morning under the appropriate and
deserving title of Wonder Store throws
open its doors and extends a most hearty
invitation to the public by whom (as a
dime store we have ever been so liberally
and generously patronized since our de
but into your midst) to call and inspect
its stock.
It is furthermore noticeable that we
, are no more to be found at our place of
business, namely 415 Broad street, but
are now occupying our new spacious,
commodious and inviting quarters at 318
Broad street, the better known as Satter
field & Rawlins’ stand, where we hope to
share the same continuous flow of trade,
,;he same good will of our customers and
ft same evidence of their apprecia
ted our b argains that ever -jrar
?f.ed our‘X. ,'^ 83 carefS and that is
eVer cliAacteristic of a business whose
1 motto is: ' Buy Goods to Sell and Not to
( Keep.
To our many generous, liberal and
- much highly appreciated customers and
friends, whoso friendship and confidence
- it has been our pleasure to enjoy, we de
sire to extend our most sincere thanks
for their liberality of purse and
kindness of heart in the past. And most
earnestly solicit a continuation of the
same for the future. By changing the
title of our store it is by no means our
intention to discontinue the sale of five
and ten cents articles. On the contrary
with the increased facilities that our
more extensive quarters has given us,
we have already greatly enlarged our
stock in these goods. And in addition
_to this mammoth stock of five and ten
cents goods we have added a line of
higher priced goods. A line which for
beauty cannot be surpassed and which
for cheapness has no equal. This change
in our line, or rather the addition of
higher priced goods to our line, is not
only due to a constant and increasing de
mand for better goods—goods worth
more money—from our customers but to
our desire to satisfy the same, and sei
the people a better class of goods
at the same reasonably low
prices that has made our business a
howling success, and at the same time
placed within the reach of every home
many indispensible, useful and ornamental
articles, which but for our coming into
your city would today cost you 50, 75 and
oven lOOper cent more than we ask or
Vrant for them.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS
Permit me to say that ours is not a
bankrupt stock of goods bought up at
one-half their value, neither a second
hand lot of stuff at half-price, nor is it a
Cheap John combination of articles at
your own price, neither a remnant saved
from the mammoth and all destructive
fire in Amsterdam, which we offer for two
days only at the wonderfully low price*
herein enumerated, etc. But our entire
stock is made up of bargains— not blood
curdling bargains, neither stunners that
will paralyze you and make your heart
stand still, for as long as some peopSe
continue to call in a 10 cent store for
bowls and pitchers, cedar water buckets,
umbrellas and overcoats, and expect to
get them for one little dime, just that
long will we continue to doubt the pos
sibility of standing and paralyzing
that people in snch away. But to con
tinue what I had started to say, our stock
is composed of bargains innumerable,
bought direct of the leading manufac
turers, importers and jobbers of our best
markets, not job lots, picked up here and
there out of other people’s old shelf-worn
stock, but goods equal in every detail to
the best made, sparkling with newness,
from center to circumference, com-rising
many indispensible articles, including ail
the latest novelties, and is designed to
please every customer from the younsast

And furthermore, if bargains may be.
considered an inducement, as they have
ever been, and as I feel assured they will
continue to be, I feel doubly assured that
the Wonder Store will continue to be the
same busy scene of commerce and pleas
ant resort for the appreciative bargain
seekers that it has ever been as the Hill
City Dime Store. Through idle curiosity
or possibly from other motive, some one
may ask why it has been christened
the Wonder Store. In reply it is
our pleasure to say that a care
ful inspection of our stoefc
will better answer the question than cars
an explanation from any other source..
In conclusion it is a pleasure to add that.
I will be ably assisted by Messrs. W. T
and Charley McKinney. To these wor
thy young men, who are known and hon
ored by all with whom they come in con
tact for their honesty, integrity, many
virtues and courteous manners, much
credit is due, both as model and thorough
young business men. Again accept our
thanks for your liberal and appreciated
patronage iu the past and a most hearty
invitation to call on us at once, while
our stock is new and complete in ous
new quarters.
Yours most respectfully,
