Everything considered, we have nog
reason.to complain, of the volume of our
trade this far, but owing to the unusual.
ly large harvest of last season, ,together
with the proved .of remunerative prices,
we were tempted into heavier purchases
of all lines of fall .and winter goods than
ever before and in consequence of that
we still have .an immeuse quantity of
winter goods that must be cleared out at
what they will brim, for we are deter -
rained not to carry them 'over summer.
So if you need any winter goods, better•
come early and select what you want.'
You will find our prides in all other linea
very tempting; the feet is we have far
more goods than we require and far less
money than we need, hence., the sacrifi-
ces we are ready to make,
We keep everything in boots and Shoes,

Holyrood are to have all the teachers
