—We are promised an unusual treat
at the performance to be given on the
night of Monday, the 27th inst., by the
Evelyn Buokley Concert Co , which we
are assured is an unusually good and
well balanced organization. Wo strong-
ly advise our readers to attend this
concert, which there is no doubt will be
the best of the season.
was found that a large number of the eo
[sailed mageziues were merely organs for
theta n1ai1 order hence•. They would
offer a somewhat pretentious monthly
paper at an absurdly low subscription
price, not suiuci'_nt to pay for the ink,
to say nothing of the paper an which
they were printed, or the cost of compil-
ation or postage. One monthly offered
a theca yoaru eubsoription for twenty-
five cents.
It ie not assumed that all mail order
llousea are positive frauds. In many
ease they do send the material paid for;
but even in those oases experienced buy-
ers found that the prices paid were too
high for the quehry of merchandise fur-
niehed. The point is that a paternal
government found it necessary to pro-
tect the people against themselves, and
to show that it did not pay to patronize
grail order houses.
Thiuga have not reached such a con•
clition in Canada yet, but there is ample
evidence that there is a tendency in the
acme direction. If we would profit by
the mistakes of our neighbors, we will
confine our purchases to our immediate
'vicinity, and deal with people who are
net only perfectly responsible financial-
ly, but who are right at our own doors.
Experience has shown this to be the
wisest policy. If there is any mistake,
the local merchant finds it to his own
interest, for the sake of future business,
tc satisfy his customer; but the mail
order house knows that no person will
go to the expense of taking a small mat-
ter into the courts, and trust to their
flamboyant advertisements to keep their
business up to a high point.
Everyone knows that it must cost
mune firms more to do business. Some
one must pay for the catalogues and
postage and the express charges they
offer to pay i? you buy a certain amount.
People should realize that they are the
ones who pay for all these things, and
that the effort to get something for
nothing always results in getting noth-
ing for something. You may depend
upon it that if an article is worth any-
thing,
nything, the merchant in Wingham either
has it or will get it for you and will
charge only a fair price for it. He
knows values and can be depended upon
to get you your money's worth in every
transaction.
Buy at Home. It will save many dis-
appointments and will make you a more
valuable citizen of Wingham.

TALK NO. 2
To Farmers and Farmers' Wives
In our talk to you last week through this paper we referred to the advantages of dealing direct
with the shoe store.
In our talk this week we will describe a few kinds of shoes which we keep in stock and which are
entirely different from ordinary store shoes—we have these lines made especially for our trade and we
doubt if their equal can be procured outside of home-made shoes, in fact these shoes are fully equal to
home-made shoes, and we -guarantee each and every pair to give ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION.
NO, 1 is a women's grain calf laced, good
heavy solid soles, with no pieces—solid
leather counters --no cut off toes—will
keep soft and pliable as real calf skin
always does. Price $2.00
NO. 3 is a boys' grain kip laced boot —
double shanks and soles—solid leather
counters—full toes—will not get hard,
and will wear fully equal to hand -made,
sizes 1 to 5. Price $1,85
NO. 5 is a men's farm shoe—made of real
heavy weight calf—will not get hard—
splendid bottoms and solid leather
counters. Price • $2.75
Also a cheaper make at $2.50
NO. 2 is a Women's heavy dongola laced
shoe—not a heavy shoe, but heavy
dongola—with a good broad heavy sole
—no cut off toes—solid leatbsr counters
—not as heavy as calf skin No.1, but al-
most as good for wear.
$2.00
NO 4 is a boys' cow -hide laced boot—ex+
actly similar to No. 3, but made of
cow -hide. Price $1.75
Other boys shoes as low as,$1.25
NO. 6 is a men's farm cowhide shoe—•a
splendid boot in every way—solid leather
counters—best sole in bottoms and will
give excellent wear. Price.... $2.25
Other farm shoes as low as.... $1.00
The above represent 6 lines only but every one of the 6 IS a leader and something that you can
depend upon will give as above stated ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION in the coming wet weather of
fall and winter.
