dODERICH'S LOVELY STORES
For a town of its. size, Goderich has
many nice .stores. That comment is often
heard from visitors who are impressed with
the variety of merchandise carried and the
modern store front windows in which, these
goods are displayed.
Now with • the Christmas shopping sea-
son at hand, these stores take on added
glamour. It is known they. ,attragt custo-
mers not only from the town and immedi-
ate rural area butt also from centres quite
some distance away. The patronage at one
large store in particular is at least 70 per
cent from centres dozens of miles from
Goderich. Other stores also enjoy consider-.
able -patronage from a distance, as well as
from town and district.

Thursday evening it was the fourth con-
seeutive year -for this to happen:_ Last year
saw acclamations given to all running for
municipal offices here.
This year. has, seen one° of the most
widespread trends toward acclamations, to
'public offices in this part of Huron County
than there has been.fo.r years. In Ge erich,
however, there will be a contest for council
- seats and it will be 'interesting to see how
many voters turn out..

In Gode,riell stores are elerks who know
most of their customers and, therefore, give
thein understanding and interested service.
The importance of this is best realized
when a customer has almost to demand at-
tention from some disinterested clerks in
some city stores. A thorough' eomparision
of prices in Goderich with city stores re-
veals they compere most favorably and in
some eases are even lower than city prices.
Iu Goderich, shoppiilleu.n be done leisurely
and not in the frenzied pressure of city
stores.
All in all, Goderich area residents will
find Goderich stores good places in which
to do their Christmas shopping. -
