nearer what a modern, up-to-date Dry Goods stock should be, nearer what we want it to be
than any we have shown in the past. This business is progressive, and good stocks and good

Prior will do all the Masonry for the

Times says: "Isaac Jewitt left the
hamlet of Browntown to reside in the
town of Clinton. His departure took
place at two o'clock in the morning.
You must not conclude that he did so
to escape the constable or such like; he
did so to make the best of the poor
sleighing. Mr Paul and Mr Agar as-
sisted him to Clinton." J. Fisher has

it can't pay to make your own when you can buy it at our prices.
