Rose’s new five, ten and twenty-five cent store opened here Saturday with splendid success, according to Mr. N.J. Binning, who has been here about a month lining things up for the new link in the Rose chain of stores. Specials were offered on the opening day, good brooms, zinc buckets and 14-quart dishpans for 25 cents being among the articles that when like “hot cakes.” A force of 25 clerks manned the store on Saturday, 16 local clerks and nine who came from Henderson especially for the occasion.
The opening was regarded as one of the best this chain of stores has experienced taking into consideration the population of the town. The stock is arranged in regular five and ten cent style and a throng of customers visited the store Saturday. Mr. Binning will be in charge of the store for the present.
