THE, t1GNAL : GODE1t1CHr ONTARIO
A Frank Talk
on the Fur Question
...... .wast-wgeewrmw
This has 'not been as good a
fall and winter for tut selling,
as it might have been.
The weather was mild and
open from the commencement
of the season, and furs not the
absolute necessary they usually,
are during the,late fall and early
winter months.
Then there was the nnfortun-
ate ei)idemic and scare that canie
Tight at the height of the fur -
selling season It flattened out
trade in Goderich, When it
should have been at its best.
Both causes combined have
left us with a good many more
furs than we ought to have, or
counted on having, the first day
of January, 1908.
Furs run into money fast
They soon count up into the
hundreds, and, to be frink with
you, we have today over et,5oo
worth of furs and fur coats in
stock. We could ttse this money
very 'well now to pay duties on
spring importations of British
and foreign goods that already
are coming through the customs.
'We are up against two pro-
positions. Either to carry the
surplus stock over into next sea-
son, or to make it worth the
while of enough to buy furs
now to turn it into ready money.
To do the first means loss of in-
terest by not having 'the use of
the money, the cc.st of insurance,
the risk of fire. etc., and starting
next season .with a lot of lift -
overs.
To do the. second means the
wiping out of profit for one
thing, it means probably a shav-
ing of cost in some cases, but it
means, too, the turning of this
surplus into cash and the use of
it for the next eight or nine
mouths, and, what is even more
important, an absolutely new
stock next season.
We have decided on the se: -
and proposition and from the
date of this'issue of The Signal
we will sell you furs that cannot
but tempt you even if you have
decided to put off buying until
nextetasou.
You know the fur stock that
is here. Every article in it can
he depended- upon absolutely,
and we are ready to stand be-
hind each and every garment
that goes out of the store.
We have frankly told you the
reas8n we are willing to sell
good furs without a profit. If
you ha
y Je any thought at all of
buying •. e e and sec how ready
wt. are to 1 ck up this talk with
our actions.
Here is a ial list of furs in
stock and the{ regular prices.
We are willing t. take a good
deal less for any o them. Lots

LOCAL OPTION.
Voting in Three Municipalities in Hat -
on on This Question.
Lon a1 option bylaws were voted on
in ninety-seven Ontario municipalities
on Sluuday, with the net result that,
sit far as hwtrd fruity, prohibition was
carried in thirty-one municipalities
and lust in forty-nine ciprlltiea
in twenty-four cases the bylaws failed
to carry owing to the operation of the
three-fffthe elate/ie. The ante means
the closing of ninety -live licensed es-
txhlishments in May next.
Bylaws to , repeal the hrcal option
law were voted on in five places
and were lust in four out of the Ove.
in one place. Th,messille, the rte. -tore
voted to go back to the license system.
In this *woofs local option was an
issue in three Iuunicipalities---Hallett,
ilowirk and Wroxeter.
In the village of Wroxeter the local
option bylaw was defeated I*y is vote
of 48 for to al against.
In the township of Hawick the local
option bylaw Sues carried by a vote of
52i to 342.
In the township of Hullett the vote
wits on it teylaw proposing to repeal
the loral mitten 'bylaw adopted three
yea's ago. The vote waag letel for and
$3'i mgaiu.t, repeal, prohibition bring
sustained by it majority ot 11kf.
A good deal of attention wan
centred on the contest in Owen Sound.
where, although thele was no ruling
oil a local option bybtw, the question
was a live issue. Mayor Kennedy,
who is opposed to the bylaw at pree-
rnt in effect, was returned by a tuiejor-
ity'of 174, and the local option ticket
generally was defeated.
