"Sears, Roebuck and Company's retail store in Wooster at 227 E. Liberty St. needs no introduction to residents of this territory. It has been prominent among the concerns, that have aided in the expansion and development of Wooster and vicinity by giving the public a metropolitan service.
They have assisted in raising the standard of living among the people by saving them hundreds of dollars yearly on purchases made in their store in this city. This money saved has been invested in pleasure, education and recreation that heretofore has been beyond the reach of many members of this community. We are indeed grateful that this concern has seen fit to locate one of their stores within our reach.
Here there is no high selling costs, no large dealers' profits. They distribute from the factory and guarantee unconditionally all merchandise sold by them against defects in material and workmanship. Due to their tremendous buying power, special concessions by the manufacturer make it possible for them to put before you values that you cannot afford to over look.
Rural residents find it particularly convenient to shop here since their stock embraces such a large number of complete lines.
The heads of Sears Roebuck and Company are business people who realize that large profits are to be made from a rapid turnover. They offer goods at low prices because they buy in immense quantities. In some instances they buy entire factory outputs. Their large sales make it possible for them to sell at a small profit.
It goes without saying that they are honest and straightforward and they have won the patronage of thousands of residents through their merchandising policy."[1]
