HODGENS BROS,
THE DRY GOODS PALACE, • CLINTON
A FARMER FROM
ODERICH TOWNSHIP
Told us last week that he and all his family of boye'had.-hapght
Clothes from us for over I9 years and never had one reason to
leabe us. We told him we fully appreciate such loyalty and
that there were many more just like him, it is just such people
that make it pleasant for business men. Nowadays too many
people are too easily led away by all sorts of fictitious and false
advertisements, they are constantly going from one to the other,
never satisfied, always complaining. But the farmer we refer
to, like many more, is intelligent enough to know that he is be-
ing well treated, and the confidence he enjoys in the men he
does, his business with is equally reciprocated. In fact, he is
generally the man who does get the Snaps that are going nowa-
days. In these days of keen competition no one can seek after
big profits, the bigger the business the bigger the buying, the
better the system the lesser the profits. The confidence we en-
joy by the people of Clinton and surrounding country has built
up a business that means both of these. In our preparations
for spring all the newest and up-to-date methods will be applied
in our new store m the *Coats Block which is as we said last
week,.the biggest Clothing and Furnishing Establishment do -
day. If you are not a customer, be one. •
We have had a great many calling last week just pricing Furs.
We have always told our customers that when the 15th of. March
came around, the time we pack them, we would take ridiculous
prices rather than pack them away, and these people were hop-
* ing We Would take them now -the prices we ask when putting
them away. Cold weather is ahead of us yet and this offer
should clear them all out.
