T1, e goods are West of England worsted in narrow stripes, trey being the principal color. The success which has attende our efforts in securing trade in the,past, has been due to k eping abreast of the demand of the people. What people 7 -ant is determined by the amount of money they have with hich to buy whatthey want. When times are hard people are content to buy cheap, low-priced clothing, anything t float along and keep out of debt. But times are not hard now; times are,,as matter of fact, good, and the wise buy r knows that when he has the money, the best kind of buyin is to buy the best that is in the naarket. Speaking of the best kind of clo hing, we are reminded of "our own make " of men's suits t $8 and $10. These goods represent a fit, style, material a I d workrnanship equal to anything in the market, and in m ny cases very much ahead of the average article at this pr10e. We have just received a shipment of new suits for boys in Browning three piece, in the two Eton jacket, and in the three piece Knickerbocker suit.i AU of these lines will be found new and up-to-date, and before buying4 a suit for your boy it will be little trouble foili youdto look through our stock, and you are certain to find something that will please you. Speaking of hats, we have c1aixied that the Christy fedora hat at $1.50 is positively the btist hat in the market for the money.

In the shaped stiff hat, Christy's Fiftb Avenue and. light weight selling at $2, $2.25, $2.50 and $2.75, are very nice lines. Did you notice the boys' straw sailors in our window at 15c, 20c and 25o? Have you bougbt any, of the lour -ply cotton stocking, which we sell at 15c al pair? Were you ever shown the 10c felt hat, which we claim'is cheaper than -a cap for a boy going to school ?
