C:E OF SEASONS.
THE
Winter vanishes and Spring 'appears ; with the going of the one andthe coming- of the
other a wonderful transformation takes place in the mind of man ! The restrictions of Winter
disappear under the genial warming influences, of Spring ; the senses are quickened and arous-
ed, and 'mankind becomes more alert. In the'spring of the year, Statesmen .launch great Na..
tionai,.enterprrses, Masters of Industry conceive schemes of large :importance. and on every hand
there aresigns of awakening.
But, it is not with these things that we are presently and immediately concerned : The sweet influenm
ences of spring steal into the homes of the people, and there—among men and women of flesh and .blood—the
all -absorbing topic of Spring assumes many_ phases of unusual interest. The Spring Housecleaning opens up a
thousand questions concerning Carpets. Curtains, Linoleums and Furnishings, and then there is the mat-
ter of Dress ; from the head of the house and his worthy helpmate, with their practical ideas of economy, down
to the tiny tot that prattles on the floor, the question of what to get and how• to get this and that and the other
thing enters into the domestic scene and forms the'suhject of countless discussions ; and herein lies
THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS :,STORE
anticipating the advent of,Spring and all it means to our many friends in- and around -Clinton, this store has
gathered together from the four parts of the globe, the largest and most comprehensive stool;, of Spring Goods ev-
er exhibited in a Huron County store. Foremost among these rank
NEW DRAPERIES AND - THINGS FOR THE HOME.
Now that the warm weather is here, Spring cleaning will gc forward hi earnest, and there's nothing adds
zest to the work, like something new in the way of furnishings -new curtains for one room, a rug for another,
fresh linoleum for the kitchen and so on.
HINTS OF THE NEW DRAPERIES.
These include the newest patterns and colorings in Cretonnes, Chintzes, Shadow. Cloths, Voiles,
Etc. Many are imported and exclusively handled by us.
EXQUISITE FLOOR COVERINGS.
To attain the' most pleasing results in redecorating and refurnishingthe home you'll find, the choosing of
the Rugs a matter of first importance. We fully recognized this fact in choosing our splendid New Spring Stock
and you'll find here a variety and width of choice second to none Ls this part part of the country ; furthermore
by buying: in liberal quantity we were able to secure best manufacturers' prices as well as exceptional quality and
choice of new, That's why we invite comparison and are so solicitous of your seeing our display.
BUT NOT IN THESE THINGS ALONE DOES . THIS STORE .STAND PREPARED
a thousand•atdone other lines appeal each in its own way, which.can only:be satisfactorily realized by a person-
al visifto the -store, War conditions have operated for higher ,prices on most lines boughtin the usual way, but
the resourcef(ilness of our purchasing has been brought into play, and it is our frank opinion that never, in the
history of Clinton, hal so great a volume of advantageous placing of orders been done than in the preparation of
this unparalelled spring season.
To all the neighbors and friends in town and surrounding country, we extend a hearty invitation to visit
our store ; the store is wide open for your inspection.
Store Service. It is a pleasure to do things well. 'The remark applies to store -keeping as much as to
other channels ot endeavor, Our 11 months in Clinton have been months of business ideals; the practice of sound
business principles has been our constant aim, and in no respect have we labored more ardently than in the mat-
ter of efficient store service. Permanence in any business Is secured by mutual confidence between buyer and sell-
er. Confidence is attained by courtesy, respect and sincerity, We welco0le our customers to the store because
we are confident that behind our welcome lies our ability to serve.
Catch the enthusiasm of good quality and your business dealings with us will carry no regrets.

The News From Londesboro
The woolen of Londesboro are nota
whit behind inose. of any other com-
munity in the matter of patriotic
work and according to their numbers
have accomplished wonders in the
way of providing comforts for the
soldiers at the front, first seeing that
those going from this oomniunity were
properly outfitted. The work has
been done under the direction of the
Women's Institute but they have been
ably assisted by many ladies outside
that institution. Mrs. John Lasham,
who has been somewhat of an invalid
for tiro past couple of years and who
is by no means :njoying the best of
health even y't, knitted ten pairs of
wristlets and ten pairs of socks dur-
ing the' past winter besides malting
several, and assisting hi the making
of several padre, -shirts, ''Those nisi
are out these fighting, for me,” re-
marked Mrs. Lasham, "It is little
enough tint I imould do what I can
for them." it is this sort' of devo-
tion to the cause which has made it
poesibte for the women of Londesboro
and vicinity, who are not so very
numerous, to accomplish such ex-
cellent results,
Mr:. R. T. Gibbs has invested in a
ear. It's a runabout, one of the
most popular snakes and will enable
Mr. Gibbs to more from place to
place more rapidly while engaged at
his oeoupatlon of piano tuner. From.
present indications a number of autoo
will be, bought .in this section this
season.
Miss Evelyn Cartwright is just re-
covering from an attack of mumps.
We are very sorry to learn of the
accident on Tuesday night when Mr.
T. Riddle of Auburn was returning
home after autoing over and bringing
Mr. and Mrs. H. McGee to take part
in the programme : of the patriotic
conceit. 13e had just left McGee's.
gate on the boundary when in soma
manner his auto turned over badly,
bruising Mr, Riddle and doing con-
siderable damage to the ear. We hope
that lie will be none the worst of his
accident in a clay or so.
