Woman's Pride is Her Table. A well furnished table largely assists domestic happiness. Our stock of groceries comprises everything needful to make your bill of fare all that it should be. People can't live too well and groceries can't be too good. Look for first-class goods where only first class goods can be found. Our grocery is such a place and our prices are just what thrifty housekeepers enjoy. Exorbitant prices make your victuals taste of money and spoil the flavor. STAEBLER & CO.

RELIABILITY Is a great thing to draw and keep a large grocery trade. That is one of the secrets of the large trade, enjoyed by Rinsey & Seabolt. Their groceries are just what they recommend them to be. They buy in large quantities, of reliable houses, sell the best articles and so suit their customers. If you are not now a customer, try trading with RINSEY & SEABOLT   106-108 E. Washington St.

The Racket's New Year's Greeting. I suppose our friends are looking for us to come out with a grand pre-inventory cut-and-slash January sale, but the fact of the business is we can't do it. We haven't any old stock to clean out. Our holiday trade was so good that about all we have left is the building and family, and we are correspondingly happy, of course.

It shows that the Racket is appreciated and that its efforts are being directed along the right line.  We were actually glad when the Christmas flurry was over and we could once more give our attention to the purchase of bright, new, sensible things.

They are commencing to come now, and a very short time will see us again full of Racket Bargains.

We propose now to give our attention to those things that apply to the convenience of the housekeeper,- the kitchen utensils,- anything that will tend to make things more handy and easy for the hard workers in the house. We are not so much interested in the men, for they are out of doors most of the time and don't know that in Ann Arbor there are about 3,000 good women actually working themselves to death. We know many of them loathe the everlasting grind of it. Those are the ones we would like to benefit, if we could, and so far as a poor shopkeeper can, we propose to look after them to the exclusion of all others.

So for 1899 The Racket will be right in it.
