GOODS A SPECIALTY. 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 lo 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, j. j. ami, 318 BROAD STREET. Chinaware, Novelties, Lamps, and Soaps.
