It Is Said that Buyers come from Teeswater and other places to Wingham and from Wingham to London and from London to Toronto and from Toronto to Buffalo and from Buffalo to New York and from New York to the source of all that is new in the way of style (so it is said) namely PARIS, France. We are of course referring to FOOTWEAR of which there are so many types, fittings, etc. Naturally our great concern is with the “CITIZENS OF WINGHAM” and surrounding country, for it is with these that the large part of our business comes from, in fact, we are pleased to say that we are “perfectly satisfied” with the vol­ ume of business we are being favored with at the present time by the CITIZENS OF WINGHAM AND SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE and the object of this “somewhat unsual kind of advertise­ ment” is to ask a favor of those who have an im­ pression they “cannot be fitted properly” or that shoe values in Wingham (as far as this shoe store is concerned) are not so reasonable as those of the larger centres, and to these in particular we wish to ask this favor as follows: Give us a chance to demonstrate that we can fit your foot (generally Speaking) just as surely as ihe city merchant, alse we would ask that you take the time to ENQUIRE OUR PRICES and in most cases we ate convinced we will be able to show you that (1) our stock of footwear is just aS large and varied as the city store and (2) our prices are not only as low BUT AS A RULE VERY MUCH LOWER than city prices* We invite you to prove or disprove our statement* Willis Shoe Store The Leading ShoeStore of These Fart* PHONE 129 WINGHAM Mr .and Mrs. Hepburn of St. Marys visited at thp Manse, .St. Helens on Sunday with Rev. and Mrs. H.
