Just about nineteen years ago, Dear Jamie Munroe, thou didst rush about after the contest was over, with hat in hand, cheering lustily for a certain youth, then of the Manchester House, whose good wind, muscle and "Grape- vine" trip won the day against five men, every one heavier than himself. So here's the story :— One bright Summer afternoon, on the old cricket ground in the town of Clinton there were met together a number of sports, and after a friendly game of cricket, during which there was a little fun made at Sandy's bad playing, a dispute arose between J. M. and T. J. about wrestling, where- upon a youth, who had learned his trips at the school on the 5th Con.,• Morris, stepped forward and threw five men (one after the other), viz.: T. J., a bus driver ; Asa, who then sold lightning rods ; a Blacksmith ; a Bar Ten- der ; and last of all a noted Cricketer. Why do SMITH & MoLAREN sell five times the quantity, yes five times, more Readymacle Clothing than any other store in town, and have for the last fif- teen years ? Simply this, they have learned their business. Buying large, clearing lines from the manufacturer can most cer- tainly buy from 25 to 40 per cent. less than small dealers.
