The incessant presentation of bargain news a.nclsbuying chances
makes one wonder if modern storekeeping is getting away from what
•ought to be its chief subject -to supply the weekly needs of custom-
ers in such a way as to make shopping comfortable and satisfa.ctory.
An increasing portion of this community is not greatly attracted by
the fever and furore of bargain days. There is not and will not be
any place in Canada where the public can benefit so fully as RIGHT
HERE by the store's ability of buying largely and selling cheaply,but
the goal we have to set before us is to minister to the shopping needs
and to the personal comfort of customers, so that the quality to the
service as well as the quality of the goods will make them continue
to shop HERE. People who are satisfied with nothing short of the
best and want it at a fair price are going to be our regular customers.
Every week still adds to our big stock. 32 cases of' new goods arriv-
•ed this week of spring and summer goods, so note carefully the list
prices for this big week. •
