SEAFOR'rll,
Men have differed, and we expect will.
always differ as to the relative importance
of their lives and actions;as affecting the
welfare of the country. ' The merchant
thinks one thing, the mechanic another, and
so on through all the different spheres of
work in which men engage. ,
Now we have, like, all other people, an
opinion on. this subject, and we wish ,e.io
briefly and candidly state it.
To our mind, the farmer being the origin-
ator, so to Speak, of all wealth, anything in
aa intelligent or financial way that wilt;
prove a benefit to him, isindirectly a bene-
fit to all other ?lasses. This is a common
.place truth,lyet s ery often overlooked. -,
We always try to give the farmer the best
possible value for his money in ‘verything
he buys, and not only is the farmer benefitt-
ed,but eventually we derive a benefit in se-
curing his traei and confidence. .
It is by selling goods that are reliable,
that we have secured such an eeviable posi-
tion in the confidence of the farming com-
munity as we possess to -day. We offer and
Sell him our own make of men's $8 and $10
Suits; our frieze Overcoats at $6.5q, $8 and
$10 ;wool Pants at $1, $1.25, $1.50 and 52;
