After a business experience in Brussels of 2O years I desire to
return my hearty thanks to the Public for their liberal patronage
and at the same time to state that I am in -a better positionthan
ever to sell good goods at low prices. Having two stores,' one in
Brussels and the other in Seaforth, and consequently buying in
large quantities enables me to purchase a great deal finer than I
could in the past.
You must not compare prices of 5 years ago, or even 1 year
ago, with what they are to -day, and I assure the Public that it will
well repay them to call and see goods andd get figures,
even if you
don't buy. I cannot give a list of prices here asI carry
