Is not enough for us to be doing in our business; we must be getting ahead. We thoroughly bellevoil‘
there is no.such thing as standing still in business ; if we are not going ahead then we are surely slipping
bdek. We havn't reached the "slipping back" stage yet, nor do we iutend to; if that time conies we
hope to have enough sense to pull out of town.
"Ever onward" is our motto and just now after being here nearly five years we consider it a very op-
portune Vine to explain to you..the line of progress we have mapped out for 1904. .
Important Changes In Our Business
Since we came here we have been buying the bulk of our goods'from wholesale houses and manufac-
turers' agents in this country and with our buying facilities we believe we'vebought goods 'considerably
cheaper than the average merchant. The year 1904, however, will see a very radical change in this, the
most important part of any mercantile business. Instead of buying through wholesale houses
and Old Countryagents,
:agents our syndicate has definitely arranged to go direct to the Foreign markets and
personally select stocks for the syndicate stores in Peterboko, Lindsay, Norwich, Petrolea, Strathroy,
Mitchell and Clinton. You can see at once, without further explanation, the superior advantages our
customars will enjoy from this new venture we are about to make. Mr. A. W. Cressman of Peterboro is
the member of our syndicate appointed foreign buyer for 1904 and will sail frout New York in June, and
during the months of June, July and August will visit England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany 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 rlr. Cressman our positive assurance that we would start him off with a. "clean sheet"—
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
Cut Prices Clear To The Bone
We 'simply must dispose of the goods at most any price, as the stock must be cleared of all kindeof '
goods the buyer is to purchase while abroad. In order to bring about the desired result:we have decided
to hold
