P f I H 'I" I a IS 1894 Racket Store Moving on with wonderful rapidity, speeding the Racket machinery to its utmost, straining every never to meet the wants of consumers with the best nines for the least money. Take a look at our show window. No doubt but its the best display of No. 1 shoes ever made in Charlotte, and there is no competition with the prices named. Of course its a hard blow at the regular prices on shoes, bat we mast not stop for that. If wc buy shoea at half the cost of makiDg, we can afford to cat the price away down and sell them. We are sharply criti cised in hundreds of cases lor doing this under the plea that it demoralizes trade. We say we are working for our own and the interest of our trade, and that as merchants we must guard the interest of the public at every step. You see we are dependent on the patronage of the public and must make their interest joint with our own. We .think this is where most merchants fail; they sell goods solely from the standpoint of their own interests and the immediate transaction and sell every customer for the most they can get, just as though they never ex pected to sell them again, and in hundreds of cases they don't pell them again, especially wien the customer finds they could hare done better. By selling every item in our stock as low as we can sll it, we expect every article sold to-day to bring ns buyers to morrow and next week and on and on, and while wc run business and live by this law onr trade will keep on growing, as it has since the hour of opening. We hare just open 3d up a large lot- ladies Oxford Ties ranging as low as 35c. per pair. We keep our 50c. and $1 counters full of the best . shoes in America for the money. Infant shoes 10, 15 and 25c; better grades in proportion. Ladies button shoes 69o. and up. Mens real or bals 85c. Atl mens fine hand made shoes of Rockland Manufacturing Co's make will be closed out at any thing like cost, to mae room for a full line of N. Hees & Bro's goods, 'which we will hereafter handle.
