"LION" BRAND

Boy's School

It is astounding how quick
the average boy will go through
his rf.niokers unless you buy him the famous "Lion" Brand make,
got up especially for the lively boy. Made with double knees and
double seats, seams taped and double sewn with linen thread, will
outwear 2 pairs of ordinary goods. Once a customer, always a cus-
tomer. You are safe in every way when you get this make, be-
cause the goods sold are all wool. You will find no shoddy or cot-
ton in goods bearing the "Lion" Brand.
Than again look at the make and finish of the goods, they
are not equalled.
We are the only people in town handling this famous make.

Planta, flowere, ribbons, lane and other
millinery etceteras lent a charm to the
decorations whish gave a moat artistic
oast to the exhibit, and many flattering
words were spoken that were full of en-
couragement to Miss Little in her initial
opening and with the sales made and
orders taken gave evidence of a fair share
of oaetom doming to her. To attempt a
