SLOW PRICES?
Come to us. Low price does not with us mean worth-
less stock made up for by exorbitant figures in some
other department. Our price features are based on
equitable calculation. If we save a customer a dollar
he comes again, and regular patronage is worth striving
tor. We do not believe in fakes, nor do we believe in
selling goods below cost in order to catch trade.
THE NEW SonooL AcT.-The bill in-
troduced by Mr. Ross to amend the
School Act, besides providing for a
board of education to conduct ex-
aminations, makes some important
changes in the law. Respecting public
boards in rural sections must hold
quarterly meetings on the first Wednes-
day of every quarter. It also provides
for the union of high and public
it es
c' i towns and in-
corporate! villages. Perhaps the most
important change is that proposed re-
lative to the maintenance of public
schools, At present schools are main-
tained by a Government grant, acoun-
ty grant, and an assessment of $100
for each school in the township, and a
special assessment upon the schoolsec-
tion concerned to make up the sum re-
quired. The new law proposes to levy
a uniform county rate of $50 for every
rural school in the county. This will
make the county levy uniform and be a
gain to the poorer schools. The bill
also proposes to extend the holidays.
In towns and incorporated villages the
holiday term will extend till the first
day in September. Rural schools will
he allowed a week at Easter, the same
as urban schools.
$r
Neither do we give occasional reductions as a bribe to
ruin patronage. However, buying close with great care
and look to it that worthless goods never find their way
into our store. Best of ail, we are particular not to scare
patrons away by outlandish prices. It is a good plan to
deal with the public on a profit sharing basis. This es-
tablishment always follows the Golden Rule.
