deceased him six years. He leaves two
suns and Rio daughters to mown the
loss of a patient and kind father: W. E,
of Winnipeg: Thomas, at home. and the
Misses Frances E.. of Luckrow, and
Lillian, at home. Twe brothers also sur-
vive: Robert, of Goderich, and Samuel,
of California. The deceased was a man of
sterling qualities. a good neighbor and a
true friend to all. He was a charter

ber of the Methodist denomination and

1N
The telephone is growing more import
tent every day; in fact, it is one of the 1N
necessaries of modern life. Statistic x
published recently show that in 1912 there
was in Canada one telephone to every 19.3 1N
persons. and in 1917, despite the more 111
stringent conditions prevailing, there was x
one telephone to every 114 persons.
This goes to show that the telephone has
come to stay. The success of a telephone ■
system is in its service, and to a cer-
tain extent the service is in the hands of
the operators. The subscriber. however;
has a great deal to do with the suooea of NI
the system in the use he makes of his
telephone and the way in which he uses
the operators. The management does
not believe its operators are untruthful as
some of the subscribers appear to ima-
gine. but asks the subscribers to assist
them in every way and to permit them to
attend church at least one Sunday in
thr.e. To subscribers we would say. For
better service assist your operators.

Funeral services for David Bogie were
conducted on Monday afternoon at the

1 he esteem in which Mr. Bogie was
held and the sympathy of the peop;e
of the community with the grief-
stricken widow and lamily were shown
in many ways. Tote church was filled to
capacity by friends and neighbors who
had learned to love and honor Mr. Bogie
during his long residence in this com-
munity. The magn ficent floral offerings
were among the moat beautiful ever
presented at any funeral service in the
city. During the services all the busi-
ness places of the city were closed as a
further mark of honor to the memory of
the deceased. The Lutheran choir sang
several anthems, including "(bre Sweetly
Solemn Thought." Miss Stoll sang the
I beautiful sob "Face to Face" exception-
ally well.

"Leaving-Goderich" Sale
We had 31 days to sell $31,000.00 worth of Merchandise. That means there
are 24 days left. They will be 24 days of bargain -giving all over
this big store, for we positively have to close this
Sale on or before Saturday, May 11th.
As announced last week, we have purchased the business of the J. C. Turnbull Co., of Peterboro. one of the
oldest -established businesses in that thriving city. Our agreement calls for us to take possession not later than the
middle of May. That means that our interests in Goderich must be dosed out before that date. That's die reason
and the only reason for this big "Leaving-Goderich" Sale.
Do not buy a dollar's worth of dry goods before May I 1 th without first seeing what this Big Sale will do for
you. On everything we will save you a little, and on many things a great deal. In fact, with the prices of all kinds
of merchandise soaring as they are today, it will pay you to lay in a supply for a long time ahead when you can get
the goods at Sale prices.
Hundreds of Sample Waists, Gowns, Underskirts, Corset Covers, Ladies'
and Children's Underwear at Factory Prices and Less
THE BIG ATTRACTION FOR THE SECOND WEEK OF THE GREAT SALE
Months ago we planned for a big sale of Waists and Underwear for April and May. - We bought Waists Al
at prices we cannot buy them for today and contracted for the samples from one of the biggest Waist and White- ■'
wear factories in Canada for this April and May selling. These garments came to hand the first of themonth. They ■
have never been taken out of the cases until this week. They have to be sold, and sold before we leave Goderich.\ 1A
To clear out the enormous quantity we have bought for practically two month's selling, we know we have to make
the price inducements specially good. We are doing it, and Saturday morning place on sale HUNDREDS AND ar
HUNDREDS of WAISTS AND SAMPLE UNDERWEAR at prices LESS THAN YOU CAN BUY THEM FOR' x
AT THE FACTORY TODAY. - 1
It is a chance to secure well -made, up-to-date Waists and Underwear at such undoubtedly low prices that It
you will be well advised to lay in a good supply. None of these goods will be sold before 10 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing. We make this stipulation in order that everyone will have an opportunity to have an early chance at these x
samples.
Save on Your Spring Hat
We have told our milliners that we want our Millinery
Stock completely cleared out when, this sale comes to an end
Saturday, May llth. You know what kind of a Millinery
stock we keep. It is all new. There is not an old shape
iu it. All were bought for this season's business and are
absolutely up-to-date. Every Hat is being sold at prices
that rrze;rn a decided and undoubted saving for every buyer.
We give the same close attention to all orders and make the
Hats as we would under regular conditions.
We Have a Lot of Furs to Sell
We have quite a lot of Furs we would like to turn
into money. They are Neck -pieces and Muffs and we do
not think there is a poor style in the whole lot. If we
sell this business out here. the purchaser will not want
the Furs. If we have to move the stock to Peterboro, the
Peterboro store does not sell Furs. You will see the
reason we are particularly anxious to sell those we have
on hand. We are just so anxious that we are willing to
lose a little money to do it. We have received Fur price -
lists for next season from practically all the big manufac-
turers, and there is not an article they are not asking from
1-4 to 1-3 more for than they sold at this season. We
have about 25 Muffs and 35 Neck -pieces, all desirable
styles and beautiful Furs, and are willing to clear them
out at even less than cost price to make the selling quick
and sure. We have no room here to give you a list of
prices, but if you have any thought of buying Furs next
winter, take our advice and see what we can do for you
now.
Sale Prices on "Nemo" Corsets
We bought a big stock of "Nemo"
Corsets in anticipation of a rise in
prices. The rise came but we must
reduce the stock. The "Nemo"
Company fix thprice at which
these Corsets canbesold. We
have no option in the tter under
ordinary circumstances, but for this
Sale we are glad to say we can
make prices for the stock we have
on hand at a saving for you of froni
a 75c to $ 1.00 a pair on most "Nemo"
Corsets. Come early and get your
sine before the stock is broken.
Ladies' Cloth Coats $5.98
We have 17 Winter Coats left in stock. Practically all
but one or two came in Jannary, being part of our big pur-
chase of over -makes we made that month. These garments
we must sell, so Saturday we make this Extra SpeciatOfer.
They are all good quality cloths and styles that will be
pFactically as good next winter as today, and the price we
quote you for Saturday is not 1-3 what you will have to
pay when next season comes. 17 Coats left to sell, and
any one of the 17 Saturday morning for $5.1111.
The Suits
and Coats
M. Gang_ -44

All our new Suits and Coats for
spring selling were practically in
stock when the decision was made
to Luy out the Peterboro business.
We have to sell them, and sell them
before May I I th. Prices on all have
been reduced and you have a chance
to get your spring Coat or Suit at
much less than regular value.

ette Blankets, bluer or pink borders. soft finish. A limited quantity
