ets, Batting. Mill ends of Colored Marquisette, chintz anFactory Cotton.
Buying them at any time here you pay the lowest market price and our sale prices are less
than the wholesale or mill prices.
We urge you to come and investigate the above mentioned facts. Space will permit us
only to mention the matchless values and the still greater part of the story remains to be
told. It will pay you to make a trip to this store from any distance.
Do not stay away from this sale because you imagine the best bargains will be gone to the
early buyers, for this will not be the case. With stocks as big as ours it would require a lot of
selling to reduce them much, in fact it would take our present staff a long time to sell out the
before mentioned goods. We do not intend to put on extra salespeople for this sale. . To
do so would only increase the cost of the goods to the purchasing public, our object is to give
each customer the best merchandise at the lowest price. The public can help us greatly (and
incidentally benefit themselves) in this effort by doing their buying in the morning.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT THE QUANTITY PURCHASED BY ANY IN-
filVIDUAL PERSON; THIS WE DO IN FAIRNESS TO ALL.

The large Coal Companies have al-
ways made a reduction of 50c a ton on
the 1st of April, but this year have with
drawn this practice and there will be

will prevail.

Lt. -Col. John Nisbett Gunn, a
Former Partner of Dr. Gunn, of
Clinton„ Won D.S.O. by his
Splendid System of Caring for
the Wounded at Passchendaele.
In the big civic reception tendered
by the city of Calgary to the Sth Field
Ambulance on its return from France
the most prominent figure was the old
commander of the AuMulance, Lieut. -
CO, John Nesbit Gunn, an old
Toronto boY, son of Mr. Horace Conn,
vice-president of Guiles Limited and
cousin of Brig. -Gen. Gunn, the
Toronto military district.
At the civic banquet ,Lieut..Col.
Gunn was invested with the Disting-
uished Service Order by the Lieuten-
ant -Governor of Alberta, that decora-
tion haying been won by the Colonel
at Passchendaele.
The Sth Field Ambulance. which
Col. Gun commanded from the
Somme, in 1)11,, till the Spring of 1018
when lie was sent to England on a
stretcher suffering from a severe at-
tack of trench fever, is a medical unit
well known to many soldiers in Ontar.
I in, especially those of the Third Divis-
ion, It has been in every engagement,
from May, 1916, till the armistice. At
I Vimy, the Sth Field Ambulance was in
I charge of clearing the battlefield for the
whole Third Division. At Passchend-
aeleits work is feelingly described in
1
the account of the award of the D.S.0,
Ito Col. Gunn, as follows:
"At the capture, of Bellevue Spur,
on October 26, 1917, during the Pas-
schendaele fighting, this officer was in
charge of the dressing station through
which all stretcher cases for the Can-
adian Corps were passed. It was due
to his thorough methods and exception-
al organization and ability that so Malty
seriously wounded were all so well
cared for, The Director of Medical Ser-
vices for the Second Army in address-
ing medical units of the ThirciDivislon,
after the battle, said that he had never
seen wounded arriving at the Casualty
Clearing Station in better condition and
so well cared for."
During the last year of his command,
Lt. -Col. Gunn devoted much of his
time to an eye, ear, nose and thioat
clinic in the third Division, which gave
relief to hundreds of soldiers whose
ailments in this special department 01
medical science would otherwise have
been somewhat neglected. Col, Gunn,
before enlisting was one of the fore-
most eye, ear, nose and throat special-
ists of the West.
Ile was born in Ailsa Craig, but
came with his parents to Toronto when
a boy, attending Parkdale Collegiate and
the Medical College of the University of
Toronto, completing his studies in
London, England, and Vienna. Before
taking up practice in Calgary in 1907,
the Col. was in partnership with his
uncle, Dr. Wm. Gunn, of Clinton.
He enlisted with the Second Division
and came to the Third Division to com-
mand the Sth Ambulance,. when Lt. -Col,
S. W. Hewitson was fatally wounded at
the Somme.
