In to -day's issue of the ADVOCATE we present our readers with a business
nien's edition of the paper containing a fairly accurate summary of the diver,
sifted business interests of the place.. It"wi l be seen at a glance that the.busi
ness men here are alive and progressive, and that anything tending to pro-
mote the towns interests merits their co operation, and support.
Exeter isa,-picturesque place and it certainly is one of the busiest marts of
`cornwerce.in this western country. The fall fair here is very largely attend-
ed, and a top notches, and it has done much to advertise Exeter. There are
splendid schools here, and in the record far work Exeter's School is not out-
classed by any. As an evidence of this many of Exeter's boys and girls are
to -day filling many positions of trust and responsibility, both in this country
and the neighboring republic.
There are four churches here, two Methodists, Episcopalian and Presby-
tent in, with earnest arid zealous pastors adeeinisteriugs to the spiritual wants
of their various congregations.
• As a desirable 'site for manufacturers to locate, there is no more desirable
spot. And the town is prepared to deal liberally with those desiring a suitable
location for any manufactory that will assist Exeter.
It is a. matter of surprise to many outsiders who visit the town in the busy
season to find what a hive of industry it is. Its splendid public library, church-
es, its fine school, splendid hotels andexcellent business places; and integrity
of its business men. their sound financial standing and enviable record for
fairness go a long way to make Exeter one of the best business centres in this
part of the country.
It is with the best wishes for the future growth and success of the town
the AbvocATic presents to its readers this Trade Edition.

thoroughly conrpetent and experienc-
ed mechanics. This must naturally
give thein an enhanced conunercial

J. A. STEWART
Is acknowledged by all to be one of
Exeter's best business men. He con-
ducts a• general store where everything
that is the best in the dry' goods. gro-
cery and clothing lines, etc., is kept.
Being a careful buyer he makes it a
point to -buy only first-class goods that
he knows will sell readily in Exeter.
All the staple goods are from the best
houses and for fair price and quality
cannot be beaten. In groceries it is
nothing but fresh goods. Since the
first establishment of this business
some eighteen years ago the trade has
been steadily increasing, consequently
111r. Stewart has been obliged from
time to time to enlarge Isis premises to
afford room for the large stook he finds
it necessary to keep. The past few
months workmen have been engaged
building a large extension to the rear
of the southern part of his store. This
has now been completed and, is filled
with a first-class line of ready-made
clothing. The store now is one of the
most .up-to-date in all its appoint -
silents. The line of clothing kept at
this store is from the bees houses in
Canada; all the latest stylesand pat-
terns. In gents' furnishings he un-
doubtedly carries one of the finest
stocks evershown here; new in !style
and excellent in quality. This store
has two special lines of shoes that are
of first quality, "The Bing" and "The
Ahren. In the line of gents' hats you
will find here one of the best thatcros-
,ses the ocean. "The King Hat" is a
dandy. As a business' man Mr, Ste-
wart -has few equals, being progressive
and energetic and commands the re-
spect of ail both as a''business man and
a citizen. Mr. Stewart buys only for
cash and can thus give the customer
the benefit,

That the development of Canada has
been very rapid in the past few years
hardly any one will deny. In every
branch of trade it has been the same'
cry of progress and prosperity. That
in an era of unexampled prosperity
like this, we have certain financial in-
stitutions that are making an extra
effort to secure the lion's share of the

That is the way to get business. Go

due regard to the eternal fitness of

branches in Canada in the past four
years, and that they are securing their
share of the trade goes without say-
ing. In this immediate neighborhood
they have some nine branches and
they are certainly doing the business.

not get into a bank to do business af-
ter• three p.m., and never in the even-
ing, the Sovereign Bank changed the
order of things entirely and to -day you
can not only do business any time of
the day after ten or evening, but you
