The Signal, 1903-1-29, Page 88 'LWO Wtt, January 29, 1903 THEIGNAL : GODERIOH ONTARIO. ALTERATION SALE COMMENCING SATURDAY, JAN. 17th. We have leased the premises next door to,.us, now occupied by the Brunswick Cigar Store, and in the Spring will have th© two stores made as one by removing part of the dividing wall. The new premises will be fitted up as a GENTS' FURNISHING AND CLOTHING STORE, our already large business in these lines necessitating our having more room for the next season ; also the removing of our Clothing Department from up- stairs to the first floor of the new part with the Gents' Furnishing Department will make it much more convenient for our customers -and easier for us ; and the room they now occupy is very much needed by our other stocks for their proper display. We intend to make this the occasion of a general clearing up of all Winter Goods. We want none carried over into the Spring. Our large importations for the Spring business will need all the room we have, consequently everything must go now if price will move it.
