SALISBURY'S DRUG STORE, Huron St., Cook House Block

It's curious how some folks advertise. The Racket man has been studying some of the modern advertising methods lately, and the result of his study can be seen in the following ad. Its just dead easy, the style is not at all hard to catch on. See?

A terrific cyclonic upheaval in prices at The Racket. The earth pauses in its diurnal round to enable customers to carry away thrall absorbing bargains we are offering. Our competitors stand aghast at the stupendous sacrifices we are making and wonder how long we can stand it.

Ponder seriously over the following prices for they mean much to you: $17.50 Swan Bill Hooks and Eyes 1 cent per card. $38.00 Invisible Hooks and Eyes in black and white 8 cents per card. $9.00 Horn Hair Pins reduced to 9 cents per dozen. $2.50 Gold Eyed Needles cut to 3 cents per paper. $4.50 papers of Pins now at the unheard of price of 1 cent per paper.

There we have said enough, it's just as easy as rolling off a log, but I don't like it. It's not honest, and yet it's a fair sample of the advertising one sees every day. This prefacing every article with a great big price is all humbug and suggests the idea that the great world of consumers are idiots, in the mind of the writer of such bombast.

Price is what tells, and when attached to goods with which people are acquainted they can immediately understand whether it is cheap or not. Table Oil Cloths white or colors 12 cents per yard. 2 quart Pails with cover 5 cents. 3 quart 8 cents. 4 quart 10 cents. The very best Axes 45 cents and 50 cents. Horse Bridle Bits 10 cents. Rubber Bits 25 cents. English Semi-porcelain 100 piece Dinner Sets $6.90. American white Wash Bowls and Pitchers 75 cents. Brass Curtain Rods, several kinds of the very best and strongest makes Chambers from 15 cents up. Ten piece Chamber sets decorated $2.00. Quart Measures graduated 5 cents. 4 tine long handle Stable Forks 25 cents. Pruning Clippers 25 cents. Harness Snaps 15 cents per dozen. Block Planes with brass adjustment 30 cents. Cloth Curtains 20 cents. Paper Curtains 8 cents.Glass Tumblers 20 cents per dozen. The Racket Bikes Ann Arbor, it is going to stay and its prices will always be lower than the lowest. The Racket 202 E. Washington St.
