"Men's Wear Review" states that prices in Underwear will be -advanced 25 to 60 per cent. over present prices, so you can imagine what you will have to pay next fall for your Underwear. We are selling Underwear a good deal less than present prices, some of it the same price as two years ago, so it's the part of wisdom to buy all your requirements now, even if you do not need them until next season. Wool Under- wear at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 per garment. How about a Suit or Overcoat ? We have a much better selection now and better quality of goods than you will get later on and cost $5 to $10 less. Suits and Overcoats at $12. $15, $18, $20 and up to $25. Walter C.

IN nmeNEw HALL -The Signal failed to remark in its report of the Colborne nominative last week that the meeting' was held for the first time in the new township hall. The big sitting -room of the former -hotel is a great improvement upon the d lapidated old township hall. though it may be a good many years be- fore there will be any gatherings in the new hall. to compare with the stirring nomination meetings of which tbe old hall was th • scene in past years. Some- one with a good memory and a handy pen might write an interesting reminis- cent article on the history of the old hall, now abandoned in these times of advancement and improvement.
