The Boot and Shoe business which has been successfully carried on in Seaforth for over a quarter of a eentury by ROBERT WILLIS has been succeeded by the new firm of ROBERT WILLIS & SON. The aim of the new firm will be to study the shoe interests of the people and to give, as in the past, good honest value for their money. During the present year, we hope to retain all our old customers and, by vir- tue of our fair businesm methods, to add - many new names to our already large list. 1, If you are not a customer we see no rea- son why you should not be one. Our goods are right—our pricei are right. We make t a point to buy nothing but what will give satisfaction. This business was built up on that line and we intend to keep up its reputation. For the balances of February, we intend to clear out all our winter footwear at whole- sale prices, as we want the room for new spring goods. One word more—if you are looking for shoe satisfaction try the new firm at the old stand. R. Willis & Son ROBT. *WILLIS W. G. WILLIS SEAFORTH.
