' Important Changes In Our -Business c
Since we came here we have been buying the bulk of bur goods:front wholesale houses and manufac-
turers' agents in this country and,with our buying fo•-:iilities we believe:We've bought goods considerably
cheaper than the average merchant The year,1%)4',Y however, will see a very radical. change in this, the
most important part of any mercantile b'Lsiness. Instead of buying -through wholesale houses
and Old Country agents, oursyndicat.t. 7tas definitely arranged to go direct to the Foreign markets and
personally select stocks for 11161" t=.1:inclicate stores in Peterhoro, Lindsay, Norvich, Petrolea, Strathroy,
Mitchell and Clinton. You can see at once, without further explanation,, the superior advantages. our-
customors will enjoy from this new venture we are about to make. Mr. A. W. Cresstnan of Peterboro is
the member of our syndicate appointed foreign buyer for 1904 andwill sail frout New York in June, and
during the tnonths of June, July and August will visit England, Scotland, Ireland, germiny and France,
securing the different lines of goods manufactured in those countries.
Now, 'Here's Where It's, of Vital Interest to You
At the last meeting' of the syndicate, when all arrangements -were completed for the Personal Foreign
Buying, we gave flr. Cressman our positive assurance that we would start him off with a "clean sheet" —
that that he should have a free hand in buying ; we Mean by this that he would have no restrictions such as
stocks from previous seasons in each or any of the stores—that We would give no such orders as "Don't
buy this line' or "Don't buy that kind of goods, we have enough On our shelves, at home," etc., etc. SO in
goes;the knife to almost every line of imported goods, and where stocks are heaviest we'll
